I was recently told by a co-worker that I'm easily the weirdest person he knows.

Most of my acquaintances take me for a psychopath, and the few that know me well recognise that I am somewhat displaced and belong to another time...place...society...life?

All I know is, when people get too close I really wish I could bite them.

xD

If someone stands too close to me, I move in even closer, widen my eyes, and either raise/lower my face so that our noses are almost touching.

Most people end up backing away.

INTPs have special ability to see through frauds? I think it just depends on how naive and observant they are.


Yeah, snakes, alligators, weird creepy shell creatures, stingrays, turtles etc are cute... some fish and slugs are ew though...

Yeah we were doing a class experiment in high school and we had to slice up an ox heart .... I enjoyed that... and the eye......... but that was just watching.
Others try to make associations that's not true for dubious motives. An INTP should be able to see through the plot. I don't know why, but I do suspect this to be the case.

Next time you are accused of beeing creepy and weird. Take a good close look at the accusant(like Mary^ does). I would not be surprised if you find hidden motives. Do not fall for them backing away. Follow Melkors hunch.

I thought everyone here was a weirdo that's why I came here.

I was bullied, people made fun of me, and more than anything I was the oddball. Everyone thought I was on drugs. But here its cool to be that High-On-Caffeine-Too-Much-In-Everything-Loner, it's accepted and understood.

Makes it pretty addictive.

I admit I tried to fit in but, I never could.

First statement: VERY TRUE. But the range of creepiness of the people that roll on this forum is slightly broad.

That's pretty sad... happens in life. Just depends on who you are. How about now? What's life like now?

The thing with me is. During primary, intermediate, college... I fit into different groups... boys, girls, leftover group, typical asian groups, just one friend etc... now the interesting thing is, I CAN 'fit in' but I don't... I choose not to. This makes me sound like I have a strong self esteem.

Psychopath? If someone called me a psychopath I would take that as a big compliment... Bite them in a friendly but creepy I-don't-know-why way or in a non-friendly way? I bite my boyfriend a lot... I say it's a sign of affection. Just that my teeth sometimes feels numb or loose. I realise some cats do it too. meow~

Any sort of reasoning?

Sure. I associate INTPness with calmness. It's easier to think if one keeps calm. Lower head temperature increases performance. A fraud I presume is easiest exposed by inconsistency during stress.

Yes, but being too calm may make you seem suspicious. ;)

I always have my doubts about being an INTP... I can get very emotional and dramatic. Maybe I'm not. I hope I am though... My thinking process is like an INTP but my emotional and personality is not like it... sigh.

^want to be an INTP? You really are weird.

And THAT is why INTPs are viewed as creepy or weird.
hmm...when I visited intpc I was usually viewed as both creepy and weird, by intps(okay, they probably where not intps, but still). And they even banned me for this exact thing, creepy and weird. They said - a few people got sick by my touch.

Now really, being weird will get you shunned. Especially if it's a creepy weirdness. I know. And it's not fun.

Lets just say that on here I have purposely stayed mostly away from sexual topics. Most people are extremely fragile on this area. INTPness goes straight down the toilet for most. And bigotry and sexism emerges. I find it interesting, but they find it offending. It's like, you don't dig in that shit.

Yeah, that's so stupid. I hate how everybody has to be afraid as to not give 'TOO MUCH INFORMATION AMAGAD'. Sexual topics occur in our daily lives, what the hell. Most people watch porn regularly and still everybody has to keep it on the down-low and politicians even get fired when it comes out they rented a porn movie or so.

If you are hoping that you are an INTP you probably aren't. An INTP would want to objectively discover which type they were.

i'm definetly creepy, i think its in the way that all teenagers are creepy. i like to find out things about people via facebook, among other things. i like to collect knowledge about people :] sometimes i also google my professors :phear: just because i like to know about them too...
oh and i'm most definitely the weirdest person any of my friends know. generally i'm just so hyper that i can't help myself and i think so much differently than others that the things i come up with can't help but be anything a little bit outside of the octagon...

but i don't think that random people think that i'm weird or creepy because i'm so shy that they never get to see that part. i'm only really like that around people i know.

but if other people think that you are weird or creepy for telling like it is than i feel as if they are probably just stupid... or something.

I was and,to an extent,still am considered one of the wierdees of the class. In the earlier years I was considered extremely wierd. I would walk funny at random times just because I felt like it. If someone tapped me on the shoulder I would say "HOW DARE YOU?". I meant it as a joke,which I thought was funny but no one else did. I would also say "Drats" a lot because I thought it was a word that wasn't being used often enough and thought it sounded cool. People thought those things and a lot of other things I did were weird. After a while I kind of learned how to mask it and became friends with some other classmates. We had one conversation about how we thought of each other before becoming friends and they both said they thought I was a freak and one said it seemed like I was always kind of stoned/out of it.
But lately I haven't really felt like talking to anybody and have become a lot more introverted. I get bored easily talking to people and because I get bored so are the conversations I have. So lately I think I'm more boring than weird,even though I will still get the occasional "I have no idea what must go through your head."

Confessions... I've watched hentai/porn when I was bored. I love blood and gore... if it is artistic.. i do say "thats horrible" but i dont feel really horrible.... I like big hairy spiders but not small ones... I listen to all types of music.... japanese pop, death metal, dubstep, classical.. oldish chinese music...

that is awesome

one weird and potentially creepy thing about me is that apparently i'm 'supposed' to suck at reading facial expressions, says pigeonholing. but actually i tend to be so detail and subtlety oriented that i'll be like "hey, your top teeth remind me of this other person's."

Ah, sadface..... Go have a cry emo kid and get off the forum. Who cares. I'll just self admit I'm one to make myself happier. (ignores) Well I am somewhat... Ambiguous... So... I am probably many personality types... so... We'll leave it that I'm an INTP...

Why thank you. What's 'supposed' coming from? But yes. That is somewhat creepy... "Hey your breasts remind me of my ex-girlfriend." SLAP. oh wait facial expressions? My bad.

haha yeah well of course when i talk to girls, i'm talking and listening to their breasts...just like any red-blooded straight male :cool:

eh, titties are like alcohol- nice but completely overrated. there isn't enough detail in them anyway. but i'm not gonna like stare at and study someone's face for extended lengths either.

i watched a singer last night named diana krall. she has the jaw and mouth of 2 different people i know. not that i find her especially attractive per se, just that i notice little shit like that.

If a girl had C or more I'd be staring at them for a while (jealous).

Yeah, they are so fucking overrated.... God. Makes me even more jealous. But still. On the streets you're walking right. And you see some chick with a sexy bodyline from the back. But when you stand beside them at the light you realise.. God... Like... girls with good body shapes or relatively good bodyshapes (maybe one or two imperfections) are EVERYWHERE. Finding one thats good body + good looking. Rare.

That is the first time I've heard of that. Small details like jaw and mouth. I usually look at the big picture. But whenever a chick has an ugly nose. She's ugly. If she has ugly eyes and everything else is okay. She's okay.

no, eyes are important. the thing about you asians' eyes is that the variety lies in the shape of the eyelid. white people differ in iris color. i agree about the noses, they're something plastic surgery can fix without much detriment if there's an unwanted bump or obvious beaknose or something.

You should see Asians wear make up. Fake eyelashes + contacts... BAM sexy. Thick powdered skin and the rest doesnt really matter. So eyes is a big problem yes. But it's hard to find ugly eyes. Ugly noses... I mean like.. if the nostrils are flared or if it is too pointy or too narrow... it makes me go ew. And I'm sorta against plastic surgery.

hard to find ugly eyes, though possible. haha i actually prefer natural asian eye color to when they get like blue contacts and stuff, though it isn't bad. apparently so many koreans get plastic surgery, the slight nose imperfection being fixable thing was a viewpoint a korean guy said. i saw someone who looked like a basketball once. she was round, had orange skin, and huge hoop earrings.

I'm kinda against anything artificial (maybe because I'm content with my current looks)
Most likely. And you see on one of the chicks. There is acne that makes her the most ugly or less pretty. Then is the question. Why is that. Why isn't acne what makes you the most pretty?

I suppose it's the same as with intellect. Why don't you settle with what you know, why strive to know more? Be smarter, more beautiful, more muscles? Why not go for more stupid, more ugly? Or just be content with what you got from birth. Why do people fight decease? It's natural.

I think they fight what is natural because nature is flawed, especially if you are the one who have been singled out. And some refuse to accept their 'fate', be it canser, fatness, stupidity or ugliness or whatever.

Maybe it's a fouls errand, but hey, you gotto do something. :yes:

I read halfway through this thread (what have I missed? ... the horror) and decided to reply. Asking if one is creepy-weird is a social, not a solitary question. There is a tremendous pressure to go along with other people (conform) because that is how we get along. Those who don't behave as others do are noticed and labeled. Different behavior can result in high-ranking as with forceful leaders, but I think we are talking non-high-ranking here. So weird-creepy is just a label to me.

There will always be a conflict between being oneself (which is going to make one unique) and conforming. A problem is when one hasn't "found" oneself ... when one is still forming. (A professor once told me I hadn't found myself. I thought: that makes sense.) I have to admit I'm still finding myself after decades of life, but that's not a problem for me now ... I don't think. I'm pretty well formed. Yes I've most of the time been considered weird. INTP's like me are introverted and can think any ol' thing, so being like others is going to involve a lot of coincidence. Still I've learned much better how to get along with people (conform) and minimize the stress ... as long as I get my private time to recover.

Btw, there are two guys in those photos.

Korea - home of plastic surgery. A lot of koreans girl get it. They think its okay. I'm kinda against anything artificial (maybe because I'm content with my current looks)

Pretty blonde/brunette white chicks + blue eyes + C cup = HOT.

That must have been a good laugh. Fail-tan?

okay let's see if i can do this, the guys are... #14, and... 7. i was debating either 2 or 3, but nah. but shit, yeah, it becomes obvious when they're super dolled-up like in some of those.

apparently lol. i don't understand the mass appeal of tanning either, can get bizarre looking quickly.

How did you count? Left to right, from the top?

Tanning cream is better. If it does not work out, you can take a shower.

Acne is imperfectness. Perfectly smooth skin is fucking ... sexy? pretty? I have acne as well. I hate it like how hitler hates jews.

Yeah... It's natural to strive for perfection (i dislike that because it is impossible but rather improvement. but in any sense perfection is a point of view so... someone could be (opinionatedly) perfect) because humans are naturally born flawed (to create balance in this world population which is awfully cruel. meaning if theres this really ugly person then somewhere else on this planet theres a pretty person) (whocares wtf. what am i talking about)... What i think (this is relatively cultural? asian?) that in your past life you did very good deeds and this life will be better fate but fate doesnt go for EVERYTHING its also about willpower~ what you do~ what decisions you make~....

that was all just rambling.. its all arguable.

Hi Bird. How average? If you're average in every way, that's creepy/weird and not average.

Either, everyone on this world is weird or everyone is average. ... no exceptions.


GYX_Kid was right.. it's number 14 and number 15 (from the top) number 15 (four screenshots) was really popular and was roaming around asian forums because it was a VIDEO of this guy that made a tutorial about how to put make up on and be 'pretty' (hence the four screenshots)

Crucial part to tell the difference between a man and a woman = NOSE

GYX_Kid you should know that. but that was a relatively good guess~

Oh, what the chinese can come up with. This is only the surface.

Weird and creepy is a generalisation label. If you are called weird from a minority thats just an minority opinion whereas a generalisation label is a majority opinion. The more people agree to the opinion that you are weird/creepy means it is more accurately a common portrayal. (shitty engrish)

I am one of the weirdest people... but i am still accepted by a minority whereas a a lot of groups has rejected and are against my actions. (when i was in high school) I STILL HAVENT found anything I like, haven't found myself. haven't found my IDENTITY. I'm still young (in university) .. so it's kinda.. normal..

Being involved with others, you can find a lot of things about yourself. How or why other people view yourself as certain traits. You can find out about other people and what they do and hence... causing you to feel what way.

Eye makeup is simply amazing.

"i don't understand the mass appeal of tanning either, can get bizarre looking quickly."

It's a socioeconomic fashion statement for some people, at some level. Those who have tans are saying they can afford leisure time. Those who live in, say, NYC or London and who have tans in January are saying or what you to think they can afford leisure time to places where you can get a tan.

You can go back 150 years and reverse this. In 1860 and for many decades prior and after, the preferred look was washed out and pale, created by powders and creams if necessary. The socioeconomic statement was "I don't have to go outdoors or work." If you had a tan, you were blue collar and therefore underprivileged, unworthy, uncouth and uncultured and probably had callouses, too.

Times change and so do fashion tastes and the rationales behind them. I just can't seem to get behind this pants-half-way-down-your-butt things I see guys doing now. Pretending you were in jail and they took your belt away so you wouldn't use it as a weapon is just so five minutes ago, especially when you're stylin' blue jeans are held at the mid-butt level by a belt (and getting out of your Mom's car at the mall with your underwear on display is also not consistent with the thing). Now there's a style meme gone awry.... I don't find it weird, just unfathomable, and somewhat limiting because it mandates the wearing of underwear.

Meanwhile, I'm ready to go to bat for anyone persecuted by a school or whatever for traits that amount to being INTP. I remember being downgraded, literally, because I didn't think it was really all that necessary to try harder when I already had the "A". I'm persecuted, I tell you..... a 2 for effort. Yeah, well, some people NEED to try harder..... not that I'll nourish a grudge for 48 years or anything....:D

Past life? Lul-Wut?

But what you are saying is an ugly person makes a beautiful person. So one would want other people to be ugly, stupid etc.

I agree. It's preferable to sexual organs. That's so dated.


I am one of the weirdest people... but i am still accepted by a minority whereas a a lot of groups has rejected and are against my actions.
Minority, or majority. Does it matter. At the other intp board the majority was on the outcasts side, like 97% on the poll. But you can't do much about authority. Except render them powerless. By leaving the board. The only power they have is making people invested. If you are invested you are forced to conform. And by forcing yourself to confirm, you loose your integrity.

You know, Jesus got remembered. But all those others who have burned on the stake...Is being weird worth it, if it's just actions so you have the option to confirm?

And the abused often turn into the abuser(Jesus again, even in death-the witches had to burn). That is the real danger with being weird and manhandled. It's a vicious cycle, with no clear beginning and end. Especially since it's all rather imaginary. Illusion by relativity.

makeup-vs-no-makeup-12-560x415.jpg

Disturbing...
Take a look at these two girls (one girl). I'd take the one on the left because she looks more real. She has personality. The one on the right looks more like a doll.

There is another aspect. I read this a long time ago so I haven't verified it, but the make up on the eyes ... it has something to do with how one changes in the sex act. When one is aroused these changes take place, imperfections go away. So the girl on the right is a deception. Beauty is more than skin deep.

not necessarily an opinion that was completely forced into your head by the mainstream. if you hate it i recommend clearasil

oh man. woooow i overlooked 15, the weasely clown. he knows how to appear pretty, even the upper arms. that is a trap. he made himself look a bit like a girl i know.

I am one of the weirdest people... but i am still accepted by a minority whereas a a lot of groups has rejected and are against my actions. (when i was in high school) I STILL HAVENT found anything I like, haven't found myself. haven't found my IDENTITY. I'm still young (in university) .. so it's kinda.. normal..

Being involved with others, you can find a lot of things about yourself. How or why other people view yourself as certain traits. You can find out about other people and what they do and hence... causing you to feel what way.

it took me a while to fully accept that society is both a user and a tool, and that i can have control over which side of my personality i bring out when, without having to feel like "this side of myself that i like is repressed, fuck you, i'm letting it out here". a few years ago, i spent a lot of time around people who were entertained by some of my ridiculously odd antics and abstract thought processes. i was happy devoting my social life to being an entertainer among close friends, but then realized other opportunities and was like "fuck this i don't want to just be a clown" and started 'selling out' more to society, more just as a means to work within it and strengthen other skills.:slashnew:
i think it might not be an INTP instinct to conform to appropriate contexts, but once you figure out what works and what doesn't you can focus different skills and sides of your personality more effectively. i'll probably go be my crazy weirdo side with old friends again sometime soon, since that was fun and was good for what it was.
it can be a challenge to choose behaviors at times though, especially if one set snowballs into a habit. but i think we should feel special about our personalities being so 3-dimensional, and take the responsibility of harnessing the different corners of it.


But you can't do much about authority. Except render them powerless. The only power they have is making people invested. If you are invested you are forced to conform. And by forcing yourself to confirm, you loose your integrity.

good knowledge. sometimes by fighting indirectly or just being successful, you can make those authorities look pretty ridiculous too.
and then for the people who are just domineering but fail to be dominant (save for pushovers) because of how obnoxious they are, you could probably easily turn the tables and shit on them. (if you wanted to.)

Creepy, no. Weird, yes.

In highschool, I was the smart & mysterious odd one out. You'd find me sitting by myself, or on the edge of a group of people, mostly just listening. Never completely comfortable, yet I knew lots of people from the spectrum the local highschool offered. Anything from the rich & spoiled, to the simple working guys who ended up as construction workers or car mechanics.

Everybody knew who I was. Having to ask who people are when they obviously know stuff about me is annoying. I still have that happen every now & then, when I meet people who went to highschool in the same time period as me.

When I went to uni I didn't stand out as much anymore, and the city was big enough for me to be just another face in the crowd. Which was nice in some ways.

I don't think that I'm creepy or weird, but some of my colleagues tend to think I'm odd because I just say what's on my mind. However, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. The critical thinkers at work appreciate my blunt honesty. Those that can't handle it just ignore me, but they're in the minority. But, I do work around scientists and researchers, and they tend to be more open to my brand of social interactions.

One of my friends tried to act that way in high school. I think he was an INFP, and quite possibly the most intellectually impaired and obnoxious person I've ever met. He'd go out of his way to buy books with arcane-sounding titles to wave them in from of the faces of other people, trying to impress teachers by using words he could hardly understand. He was like, a wanna-be INTP or something.

God. Sorry for spinning off on that tangent, but every time I see someone use the word "mysterious" to describe themselves, I think of this kid and get the urge to nail my dick to a table.

I've found myself incapable to find someone I know that I would call a "creep" or a "weirdo". As I tried to figure out why, I came to the realization (which might be misplaced, but I know I can count on you people to tell me if you think I'm wrong) that when you understand or relate to someone, you can't really think they are creepy or weird. You just "get them". This does not mean that I can't tell whom amongst my acquaintances would be called by average people "weird" and "creepy". That's actually the easiest thing in the world (which also gives the taste of social interaction with average people that of a fools game IMO but that's besides the point).

So I think the root cause is that they don't "get you", they can't relate to you. The only solution I have found to be positive for me is to not try to communicate with them on a head-head level, but rather try to generate genuine positive intentions for them ("heart level"), and not out of pity or something. Learn to use your heart, give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe it will work because life is often of self-fulfilling prophecy. Regardless, you'll have "higher moral grounds" on them because you meant well. What I mean by that is that you can't know why they are rejecting you or being unfair. You may not even be able to control it. Instead though, you can control your (positive) intentions and work things from that end. This way you'll know that YOU were fair, and I found that it makes it alright for me if/when things suck.

I picked the side of not calling someone a "creep" or a "weirdo" because I know that it f.ing sucks! I think that to abide by that position, I should not only have an open-mind (understanding), but an open-heart (benefit of the doubt and wanting to understand, in order to help of course, not to mind f. them).

This is kind of bothering me now. What if I truly am mad, and I've just somehow grown to see my insanity as normal? Is this common for INTPs? Do you have this too? How do you deal with colleagues/classmates like this? I'm getting more and more paranoid about this now.

For the first question, Yes(even though it isn't a yes/no question). I do sometimes wonder if I'm insane but don't know it, because insane people never realize that they're insane so i wonder if I am which, whenever I feel like sharing that feeling, just makes me look insane.

2. Don't know about common but I get it.

3. yes^

4. I just accept that people think I'm weird and I try to find the ones who don't really have a problem with me. I know that the majority of people around me think I'm weird/annoying/creepy but I don't really care.

A woman once said to me that being friends with a girl you fancy is creepy, because you 'creep' up on them, waiting until their guard is down, and then pounce. So I gather that the idea of being 'creepy', is pretending to be one thing, and then unexpectedly turning into something else, that others find really uncomfortable, and freaks them out. It makes people worried that they always have to on their guard with you.

I gather from your post, that doing this is your sort of thing. So yeah, what you're doing is creepy.

I would suggest that you tone it down a little. You can shock people and get away with it. But people mostly respond to tone of voice, and facial expression, not your content. They aren't freaked out by what you said. They are freaked out by how you said it so unexpectedly loudly.

You can also prevent the anxiety, by calming people down afterwards, so they are left feeling OK after, and their anticipatory recall is also that of a positive after-feeling. A good way to do this, is after you shouted your exclamation, to then smile broadly, and then laugh loudly, as if you were trying to make them laugh. This lets people know that your intent was humour, to make them laugh, and not at their expense. Sometimes, that can backfire, though, if none of them laugh with you. So it takes a little finesse, possibly adding in a phrase or two to encourage them to see the experience as humorous as well.

But if you aren't that good with the finessing, the quieter approach is easier and more reliable. Plus, the smart people will pay attention to the content, and will get it, and the stupid people won't, but will not get freaked out, and will just think you're weird.

My Mackey from South Park is weird. Mr Garrison is plain old creepy. I think between the 2, it would be better to be thought of as Mr Mackey than Mr Garrison.

I'm creepy. Particularly when people start talking about some social construct with me, before coming slowly to the realisation that even if I know what they're talking about, I have absolutely no desire to join them in splashing about in that particular pool - and that I honestly do not give a flying damn how popular or well-known it is.

Or, I guess, wish to go to the effort of assembling a suitable social facade in order to interact in a manner they're used to seeing.

I read halfway through this thread (what have I missed? ... the horror) and decided to reply. Asking if one is creepy-weird is a social, not a solitary question. There is a tremendous pressure to go along with other people (conform) because that is how we get along. Those who don't behave as others do are noticed and labeled. Different behavior can result in high-ranking as with forceful leaders, but I think we are talking non-high-ranking here. So weird-creepy is just a label to me.

There will always be a conflict between being oneself (which is going to make one unique) and conforming. A problem is when one hasn't "found" oneself ... when one is still forming. (A professor once told me I hadn't found myself. I thought: that makes sense.) I have to admit I'm still finding myself after decades of life, but that's not a problem for me now ... I don't think. I'm pretty well formed. Yes I've most of the time been considered weird. INTP's like me are introverted and can think any ol' thing, so being like others is going to involve a lot of coincidence. Still I've learned much better how to get along with people (conform) and minimize the stress ... as long as I get my private time to recover.

I agree with this. I also wonder if your (Dimensional Transition) age and the age of others in your school is a factor. In the US, you'd be in high school. The teenage years can be difficult.

Woah. I had no idea this thread would still be active.

I don't know, I think I got over it... People have come to view my weirdness more as having a good self-esteem by being unafraid to be weird, or something like that. Anyways, people are increasingly showing their weird sides around me, which is good.

This thread still shows how many INTPs feel a little weird though. I wonder if it's an IN(T) thing?

I'm called wierd all the time. Mainly because I have no word mouth filter. My descriptions of things I try to explain through metaphor, yet this is lost upon most people. I just get called strange. I also enjoy my studies....and I don't understand why so many people go to college to complain about their studies. Must be nice having family money....

I guess I am creepy. I've been told "quiet ones like you are dangerous and shoot down schools and stuff."

I was having an in-depth conversation with a co-worker on the general topic of parties/party food/ice sculptures. We started to talk about what ice sculptures would be appropriate for what kind of party, what would be offensive, acceptable, interesting, etc for the guests at each kind of party... Then material other than ice and how that would effect the other variables.


Anyhow, eventually I had the completely hilariously morbid thought/image of a buffet centerpiece consisting of a large hunk of corned beef sculpted into the image of a baby.

I'm not sure how it relates to this thread, but I was given some very strange looks when asked to explain why I was laughing so hysterically.

People think I am weird too. I think it is because I watch them. Not perverted or anything like that... I just watch people and observe what they do. I do not like to look down at my feet. :)

People sometimes think I have a weird sense of humour. Like:
"Is Siberia [a nightclub] open tonight?"
"Yeah, it's cheap tonight, too. We'll all get into Siberia no problem."
Me: "It's a bit far to walk, though, isn't it?"

At least on that occasion they laughed rather than saying, "No, it's really close..." It really frustrates on of my friends because I do it about every ten seconds. I can't help myself. Dumb wordplay compulsions rule my life.

My best friend has exactly the same sense of humour, and we often don't need to finish our sentences when we're talking to eachother to understand eachother. So we can have conversations with eachother that just go like:
"Did you..."
"Yeah."
"But then..."
"No, he wouldn't, because..."
"No, I know, but what if..."
"Yeah, but Caroline..."
"Oh, right."
Plus we used to give eachother piggyback rides around the study room, and she's a girl, and we'd laugh constantly and never be able to explain why without laughing. And we used to print off surreal stuff for the walls of the study room, before they took the printer away, like terrible portraits of our friends done in MS Paint, a really goofy quote she said that got put in the paper because she went on this Holocaust day trip to Poland (something like, "Now that we've got the information, we're just trying to deal with the facts"), and one time a Free Crimea display that called for the freedom of Crimea from Ukrainian oppression, using about 30 sheets of A4. I think that one might have been why they took the printer away. The study room collectively also printed a Merry Christmas display and we'd rearrange the letters (and the new ones people added ) every day until it said something really long and stupid like RHYME ITS CAMERAS WITH THE YULETIDE DISCO-FREE YEAR END. And we'd print out pictures that had nothing to do with Christmas and stick them up around it. Oh yeah! That's how Free Crimea started, those were two words we made from the Christmas display. We had a lot of free periods in our last year... And we were, like, closer than brother and sister, so we'd hold hands going to lunch and we were always hugging eachother and stuff, although I'm gay and she always has a boyfriend. People thought we were really weird together, but they liked it.

Those were fun times. Except the depression bits, but the rest was fun.

You have a friend that's a girl?
Must be gay.

I think maybe at some point in high school I was probly a little creepy. I wasn't great with the socialising thing and many people were openly hostile to me. I was indifferent for the most part, but there were some occurrences that got my knickers knotted. I've always been weird, though less so recently. In college I made that weirdness one of the things that defined me, in retrospect I perceive this as quite pretentious, so now I try my best to not be(/appear lololol) pretentious, which quite often translates to avoiding attention by not being weird.

@Grandpa - It's good and all to observe, but in order to avoid being labeled a deviant of some sort I'd make an effort to interact whilst doing so. Taking the leap from observation to experimentation and eventually simply socialization is important in the pursuit of well adjustedness.
