Okay. I've had so many people call me 'weird'. Which is at the same time offensive and a compliment. Maybe that's the problem why I have trouble talking, or making friends, or just plainly be around students. Or teenagers... People. I mean, I'm called weird, all the time! By my sisters, friends, not-so-close friends, even strangers. And let me tell you that (based from experience.) that I find it offensive, and hurting. It's like you're asking us why we're crazy. kumbaga, sira ulo.
I know that's not what you meant to portray when you ask that.
But let's face it, we already know we're weird, but you just had to ask that and let the obvious be a topic and what's worse, bring it out as a sarcastic, insult of a stupid joke. I know some people don't find it offending, but I do. Especially when I try to talk to people, I find it really hard and frustrating to think of a topic and have to try and create a conversation with them. When people say you're weird, it's like they're stating that you're not normal, you stand out, you're a freak. You're not one of us and you have some issues and we find it awkward to be with you! And that hurts... A lot. Most of all when the people I thought accepted me for who I am, then they question my behavior as if they never knew I had it in me...
Just for your information, it's not like I wanted to be weird.
I never intended to be. But then again, we are all weird. We know that! We all have these things that are out of the ordinary, behaviors and traits that we find out of place. We are not alone, we may seem different, but there are thousands of other people just like us! Maybe when people ask you in an insulting manner why you are weird, just states the obvious sign that they're not the friends you should have. You haven't met them yet because people will never doubt you, or be awkward with you if they have accepted you for who you are, thus not questioning you of what makes you, you.
