Would any of you say that you're Eccentric?

Well, I don't see myself in any particular way. I'm just being me. I don't try to be different in any way, but my choices in music and clothes are off the standard, but I can't explain how because I don't fit in to any scene in particular, like bohemian or retro or whatever. But I've figured out over the years that oftentimes just being me doesn't sit well with most people. A couple people are okay with it. My family have no idea and are not at all equipped to deal with anybody who is unusual and they don't want to try, they just want me to morph into someone else, that's the impression I get. I've always just thought of myself as different, am definitely a loner. I was told once though that if I was super wealthy, I'd be eccentric, like eccentrc is something off-limits to the broke. B-S of course. But I'm not even capable of undestanding how my behavior/dress affects others until it's too late, and they've got this impression that I just don't fit in. But it bugs me that people only want friends who fit in. I mean, wouldn't most people want at least one unusual person in their crowd? I always used to think so, but lately, I realize I was mistaken in a really grand kind of way.

I once told my vice-principal in high school (this was back in the late '70s) that I was weird, and okay with it. He told me I was "eccentric". I replied, "No, rich people are eccentric. I'm weird."

I'm definitely unusual, whether one labels it as eccentric, peculiar, or what. Am also very cautious, introverted, and sedentary-mostly I hide at home, where it's safe to be how I am.

I seem perfectly normal to myself so I don't know.

i dont talk much in real life, that why i dont have many friends.

I am perfect, the rest of the world has a problem.

I am eccentric, though some friends call me flamboyant...

Why yes, I wrote a book about it.

Eccentric?

Nope, not me....never.
