Why is being "weird" so bad?

Post Reply New Topic

It's an indication of low social status. If others perceive you as 'weird', they will not associate with you for fear of diminishing their own social status.

Being weird is a by product of human social evolution. Think back to the days of cavemen, Sumeria, Egypt and other places of anqituity...if you did not fit in and do the same things as everyone else you were left out and banished or outright killed. The social need to be similar has value because it allows stuff to get done because everyone is moving in the same direction on the same train of practical thought. If everyone back in the cavemen days were aspie I do not think the human race would have survived. This is why things and people that are different are in ways 'outcasted' in todays society. Others do not want to associate with weird people because like the poster before me said it lowers their own social status by association.

iv learnt it takes alot of energy when your down that your thinking your not as capable as the majority of people im not all that good as a communicator im rubbish in group talking and quite alot of the time when i want to speak it all breaks down because im aware of the workings behind it and im paying attention to it (ignore the cogs!) which does get me down sometimes

just be you it adds colour to things it makes you different and more interesting when the words flow when my speaking is flowing i sometimes say the most rediculous things and say it more positively than i really should sometimes i analyse what i said and feel terrible

but communication is spontanious in its birth and when its happening and your head will quickly know what to say and all your interestingness will show through so just be you

You dont have to regret what you said because it cant be changed and because the past doesnt exist just in your head and memory isnt real

I LIKE being weird, I don't mind being called it.Conversely,I've been called "cool" which really startled me! whoa!

How can sheeps truly understand the sheperds that guide them. But alas, sheeps are many thus making the sheperd rather lonely and odd in a world full of sheeps. Sry if my english is not gd. It is not my 1st language.

It's not! People shouldn't judge others just because they don't conform to society. If everyone were the same, nothing would ever get done. no one would have ever had ideas for inventions. and sometimes when you're weird you can appreciate things that most people would take for granted. I love when I meet people who are "weird like me" because then I can actually have a meaningful conversation with them instead of feeling achingly bored.

some people think that if a person seems weird that they could possibly be a pedophile or some other unacceptable pervert.
