Everybody Is A Weirdo

No, Edgar Allan Poe

Remember the title of the thread Everyone is a weirdo, I’d say marrying your 13 year old cousin is a bit weird
and If your familiar with Poe's works although brilliant – i'd say he had his share of issues ...lol...

Trying to imitate is a sign of mental Illness?!!
What if you just like everything a person does and/or because they are so similar to you, you easily pick up on their behaviors??

I think this is my answer! Some folks think I'm weird because I imitate people I like. (Immitation is the highest form of flattery). The thing is, I'm not even trying, So I canT be mental, but people think I am. Bleh! People need a life! These are the same people who say I shouldn't care what people think about me and then tell me I am weird and cut me out. Yea, ok. Really looking good there, pal!

 

empty in their fullness like a frozen pantomime, everyone's a sales representative wearing slogans in their shrine, dishing out fail-safe superlative

 

I ran out of likes, but this is the perfect thread for me. Seriously though. This is the first time in my life (two days ago, but thoughts from a past life) i have been called a weirdo! Um, ok, seco d time but same group of people.

I mean, maybe folks thought it before...no, but this is different. This was malicious. I'm not... I don't think I'm weird in a scary way! If you ask me, these folk are just oversensitive. To me, THAT is weird! Oi!

 

^ oh Gawd! Was saying that weird?! Ok maybe NOW I have mental illness (anxiety and depression) from all of this! why? Why? Why????

"Why's everybody always picking on me?!"

 

not a sign of, but a cause of.

going against your individual nature stresses the mind.
sometimes its necessary anyway, sometimes its not.
and when its needed for any other reason then consideration,
that is a tyranny/flaw of the dominant culture.

i'm not refurring to incidental similarities,
i'm talking about cultural expectation and the compulsion to twist yourself needlessly to fit into them.

this is a really big distinction that is mysteriously somehow not obvious to everyone.

 

I had the chance to see Die Antwoord in concert before they were well known. I barely knew who they were, and the tickets were cheap. It bugs me to this day that I let opportunity go.

 

Real weirdos wanna be normal, and people who are overly aware of how normal they are (perceived) want to be a weirdo... in the good way. It seems at first that involuntarily weirdos crave normality and voluntarily weirdos look a bit down on it.

 

I'm sometimes different when alone. -- I wonder if your insight is true. (???)
