Author espec10001 Posted September 16, 2009 Author Posted September 16, 2009 The thing is I am comfortable with my weirdness. But the problem is I have to watch my mouth because sometimes I might blurt something out that makes them question if I'm from this planet...and I can't blame it on any sort of mental disorder or anything like that.
SoulSearch_CO Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 The thing is I am comfortable with my weirdness. But the problem is I have to watch my mouth because sometimes I might blurt something out that makes them question if I'm from this planet...and I can't blame it on any sort of mental disorder or anything like that. Heehee...BTDT. I notice their discomfort, blush, and we get a good laugh out of it.
Soul Bear Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 I'm far to weird for a relationship... That's why I won't settle for less than the very best of all possible worlds I don't think blurting of weird things is ADD or such, I think it's just a strong character
BlueHarvest Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Wierd things bring humor to otherwise normal situations. I know I'm wierd. As for relating to people, well relations grow through common charateristics. It could be that you just display uncommon (not a bad thing) characteristics and therefore may be in a different echelon of intelligence or humor. I found a quote once that I liked alot ... "You like someone for their qualities, but you love them for their defects." Essentially the quote stats that it's easy to like someone, everyone loves the good qualities in people, that's why they are good qualties. But the questionable qualities, quirks, or wierd things. It's finding someone who likes those, or can put up with those qualities in you, that makes them feel attracted to you and truly love you the whole you.
GrayClouds Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Go rent "American Splendor" if he can find someone we all can. But to answer question, I am not too weird for a relationship just too weird to find others to understand that.
Author espec10001 Posted October 12, 2009 Author Posted October 12, 2009 Hmm. Well I started to read "Finnegan's Wake" if anyone knows what that is. Ever since I did that I find I throw in words that make no sense when I talkleeloore and people sometimes laugh and sometimes they look at me strange. Other times, get this, they don't even notice it! It's fun to try when you are speaking to someone to test if they are really listening to what you are saying haha Plus I kissed the Blarney Stone in Ireland and I think it is effecting me! Uh oh owowow
datingsucks Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 Yeah everyone does, just some people admit it and it bothers them, so don't admit it and cover it up. I'm very weird especially about dating - my sense of a perfect relationship is to get to know someone naturally first (neighbors, school, work etc). The idea of courting strangers based on limited knowledge always got to me and feels so phony and the first few dates are just like a display of bull**** waiting to see what's really there, for better or for worse. In a sense, dating without knowing someone well before asking them out, feels like using them to me and vice versa. But it's hard to know someone well enough before going out with them and there's limited opportunities, if any, when finding a good match, so at times I've always felt it's a form of materialism, not real love, and usually boils down to, if the shoe fits, wear it, since that's what's expected of you.
penny.lane Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 weird is a million times more appealing than boring embrace it!
deux ex machina Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 Hmm. Well I started to read "Finnegan's Wake" if anyone knows what that is. Well I read it, but I'm still not sure what that is! I liked it anyway. Ever since I did that I find I throw in words that make no sense when I talkleeloore and people sometimes laugh and sometimes they look at me strange. Other times, get this, they don't even notice it!

zilverenvlinder Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 Yeah totally. I have really weird, weird eating habits that I don't think anyone else could POSSIBLY understand. For instance, a delicious meal for me is Rice a Roni, heated up in the microwave and a bit al dente, mixed in with two huge scoops of cottage cheese and 1/4 of a bottle of Tabasco sauce. Or Campbells bean with bacon soup, with only a tiny bit of water, heated up and mixed in with crumbled tortilla chips, shredded cheese, and sour cream. Yeah, I'm weird. But I'm also freaking starving! LOL!
Brady_to_Moss Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 I always take the crust off my bread even in restaurants I love being by myself I am always spraying handles with lysol When i take corners on off ramps i get as close as i can to the inside and follow it around like a race track Yeah i am really weird
littlewhiterose Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 I'm starting to wonder if maybe I am just too eccentric to be in a relationship. I'm weird I know it, and I have difficulty relating to a lot of people because I'm weird. I'm not speaking about anything sexual, just sort of "different", like I don't seem to follow what other people are doing around me, like their thoughts or their feelings and mine aren't the same. Anyone else just think they are too "out there" to be in a relationship? I don't follow what other people do either. If I see a trend, I tend to go the other way. I don't think it's being weird, but rather "original". I wouldn't necessarily put a negative spin on it. Naturally it'd take some more time to find someone similarly eccentric or "original". And you know they're out there wondering the same thing -about where you are...
Author espec10001 Posted October 13, 2009 Author Posted October 13, 2009 This is the dilemma though! How are eccentric people supposed to find each other when we don't do things that normal people do? I mean I used to do the whole bar and club thing but it got boring. Now I have no desire to do it and I just feel like it's a wastle of money. Like I spend a lot of time reading, writing songs and playing guitar. Writing is really a solitary activity, and many times so is guitar playing. I have a hard time relating to people because I don't really care about sports or fashions or trends or tv shows or movies. I don't even have a Facebook or Myspace! I used to have them but I canceled them because they just seemed stupid to me. But because I'm not a part of that Facebook/Myspace crowd, I feel like I'm shunned for it! Like going for a walk, you see all these people talking on their phones and holding hands as couples and you just kinda drift through it, like it all seems so surreal. Sure, it makes great writing material, but it is isolating! I've even done some open mics in my area where I sang and played guitar and guess what, while I'm playing and looking out into the crowd I feel even MORE isolated and eccentric! And after I play I don't know what to say to people, I don't know how to schmooze. I'll get a compliment here and there which feels good, but what else to talk about I don't know. It's like that same feeling of drifting as you walk through. It's like while you play people are looking at you and yet you aren't really there. Makes you wanna shout sometimes "When is my spaceship coming to take me home???" doesn't it?
lucy9216 Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 I dated someone for 6 years who is a little weird, he would have different thoughts and interests than most people. My friends and family all thought he was a little weird too and most people just thought that we were not a good match for each other. I myself am more normal I guess, I couldn't relate to the thoughts he would have but I always enjoyed listenning to what he had to say and I LOVED that fact that he was different it kept things interesting. Don't worry you will find someone who will accept and love you just the way that you are.
littlewhiterose Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 Yeah I think it will happen, it just going to take a little bit longer. I guess patience is the key.
deux ex machina Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 ...There really are a lot of us interesting people out there, but it's difficult for us to meet b/c we tend to be shy--we've been shot down so many times. The best thing for us is to go find people who share our interests b/c we tend to drive "normal people" crazy--as if there really was such a thing as normal people. I think sometimes they're crazier than we are, or at least more repressed, but there are more of them so they get to make the rules. Right on point. It's best to concentrate one's energies on people that are cool, different, and have a sense of humor. Cherish them when you find them. From personal experience I can tell you this: a lot of people who are up on are "quite normal, unlike you, thank you" really are repressed. It's amazing what you'll see when they let it out.
Odyssey Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Weird trumps boring any day! Not giving a damn what other people think about those quirks makes you cool in my book. Otherwise you're just another photocopy of today's society, right? And if people don't like it, well... they can kiss my glorious ass. Now, if you'll excuse me, I´m gonna go build my own theme park, with black jack and hookers... in fact... forget the park
Skump Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 No one is too weird for a relationship. No one. There were women sending love letters to Ted Bundy while he was on trial. Think about that.
