Urban dictionary defines “Whats wrong with you! as an insult, a real put down, accusing a person of not being sane or being inhumanly incorrect.”
Going around and asking people rude questions like, “What’s wrong with you isn’t going to win a person a lot of friends. The person asking you that question needs to give their head a shake.
Maybe you look a little different or have a disability and people ask intrusive questions. If that is the case, you don’t have to explain anything or provide an explanation.

Why do people ask what’s wrong with you?
There could be a several different reasons why the people in your life might ask “what’s wrong with you?” It’s true that they could be concerned for your well being and want to know if there is anything they can do to help.
When people ask “what’s wrong with you?” in a snarky way, the are usually being critical or judgemental. They are protecting that that you are behaving in an appropriate way, or that there is something wrong with you.
It’s possible that they are genuinely concerned about your well-being and are noticing that something seems off or different about you. They may be trying to check in and see if there’s anything they can do to help.
We all see things differently, what’s acceptable in one part of the world might not be tolerated in someone else. If you feel hurt when someone asks “what’s wrong with you?” and it is upsetting, you have the right to question why they are saying that or set some boundaries.

Kristin Stewart was picked on for being different
Kristin Stewart was bullied as a teenager for not dressing like the other kids at school. “Look at a picture of me before I was 15. I am a boy. I wore my brother’s clothes, dude!” she tells Vanity Fair. Stewart shares, “But it’s not like I didn’t care that they made fun of me. It really bothered me. I remember this girl in sixth grade looked at me in gym and was like, ‘Oh my God! That’s disgusting — you don’t shave your legs!” Even though Kristen Stewart is a big movie start nowadays, she still faces a lot of criticism from press. She says she doesn’t care about what her critics have to say.

People shouldn’t ask such shit.
My reply would be:
” I was about to say that! Are you an esper? ” lol
Whats an esper
A person who has powers like esp.
A lot, because I’m talking to you right now
One thing is wrong with me, I’m talking to you.
That’s a great comeback!
How about “Keep your self-talk to yourself”?
Daaaaaayyyyyyyuuuuummmmm
I would answer “I don’t want to waste my time explaining this to someone that does not have enough brain capacity to handle such a long list.” 🙂
Bully: what’s wrong with you?
Me: the fact that I’m talking to you.
Unfortunately, this is one of those questions that people continue asking well into adulthood…at least, that’s been MY experience. I’m currently 36 years old. I’ve been in therapy since I was 13, and have never been shy about that fact. So, when I’m asked the question “What is wrong with you?!” I always stop short, whip my head around to look at them with eyes wide, and say “We’re not ENTIRELY sure, but after 23 years of therapy, we have some IDEAS!”
… Depending on the audience, I sometimes elaborate with “It turns out it’s mostly because of my mother!” (Which is DOUBLY funny because #1 Sigmund Freud (one of psychology’s “founding fathers”) believed that the mother is the [main] cause of A LOT of psychological disorders AND #2 because my mother IS BAT-SHIT CRAZY AND the DIRECT cause of A LOT of trauma/turmoil in my life
…And then, of course, there’s the ADDED BENEFIT of pushing the “blame” of “the [so-called] PROBLEM with ME” _OFF_ of _ME_and _ONTO_ _SOMEONE ELSE!_
What about not talking to them ever again?
The only thing that is wrong with me is that you are approaching me and talking to me.
