Come on, you know you're weird. What makes you weird?

my friends, obviously.

Im way to pretty.

I'm not weird.

Ooops I forgot.

What exactly is weird? What is normal?

what makes me not wierd is more like it

My name for starters.

Hmmm. Good question. Id' say for starters that I'm weird because I'm scared of swimming in the ocean. My friends are always teasing me about it. I already posted that once in a thread about ppl's phobia's but I think it got deleted.


Like "ShtarkOut" said. Come on, you know you're weird. Everyone's weird. So - tell us~!

Am I included in "everyone" or is there a special category for me?




im not weird im quirky

Shtark - does this have something to do with a shidduch?

I don't know which word it was that you failed to understand.

He's weird for not being weird.

that's what i was gonna say about myself

Where do I begin? Nah.

Well for one thing, I slipped up the other day and used the word innebriated when I meant 'totally wasted'. When I'm worked up, I slip into higher vocab even among fellow teenagers. It's kinda embarressing at times.

I prefer unique. And everything about me is unique.

Ah, that's a copout.

Being weird is based on how other people view how you are. So why don't you tell me what makes me weird?

No, it's not. It's how I look at it, just the same way people see it as weird.

Oh everything. Name something typical about me. (That wasnt a dare...)

You rebelled during your teen years and then buckled down.

Take it like a man, Aviva! It's a good thing! I am fine being called wierd.

That's weird?

I SAID that wasnt a dare.

But even with that, my buckling down is NOT the normal way of doing things...


No, thats the one thing normal about me...

Oh sorry, I missed your previous post.

can anyone really answer this honestly? what i think is normal, others might think is weird.... same for the reverse. what do you think makes me weird? ok, don't answer that here (pm it if you MUST share).

shtarkie, what makes you weird?

No, it isn't wierd. It's perfectly typical which is my point.


Couldn't help myself.

I can name others.

I'm fine being called wierd too. In fact, I take pride in it. And I know I am, so no matter what word is used (wierd, unique, special, etc), point is, I'm weird.

Good for you! Part of the club!

I SAID that wasnt a dare!!!

Yay!! Finally!

Don't get all excited it isn't in existence yet. You make up a name.

Being dissimilar to the way majority of people perceive the majority of people to be.

When I was six years old, I won an award at the daycamp banquet for being unique. And I wondered why all the women laughed.

And I'm weird for a few things. The only obvious way (I think) is that I don't quite fit into my community. I (and my husband) are neither here nor there.

Oh. I thought it was a club that was already in existence, and therefore had a name. I'll get back to you on the name.

Weird is as weird does.

at least that's what my mom tells me...

You are. But you should still get on depression meds. People with high IQs have a higher risk of suicide - especially if they're poets.


(I did make that up but it sounded good in my head.)

Your desire to conform.

[Note: I don't mean that in a negative way.]

"Why is it that all men who are outstanding in philosophy, poetry or the arts are melancholic?"

--Aristotle (the real one)

Ouch. That has to hurt.

You think so because you know some of my opinions. But believe me when I say (said) that I didn't mean it negatively. Conformation is something that has its own advantages.

But my way of conforming is atypical, no?

In what way?

The whole chassidish thingie


Well just so you feel special, I did a huuuuuuuuge report on gifted kids and almost every gifted kid is depressed at some point in ther life (for a variety of reasons, but I dont want to hijack this thread...) and i guess if there is a higher depression rate, then theres a higher suicide rate I would suppose...
But the whole poets thing- poets know how to channel their depression into something specific, so they probably would resort less to suicide ch'v.

It’s not atypical, because deep down every yid has a chassidishe neshumeh.

I am weird

Did Avraham Avinu have a "chassidishe neshumeh"?

Is this a trick question?

i know whats comming... but, avrham avinu went with the "chasidisher" mode of dress

(i put chasidisher in quotes because in yerusalayim the talmidai hagr"a wear the same style)
