If you are different in any way, you may not fit in the typical social cliques at school. But there is a tribe out there for you, a group of people who share your interests and values. It is just a question of finding your people.
A lot of people who have gone on to change the world have actually thought radically different from the mainstream. Steve Jobs had an unusual interest in calligraphy and simplicity in college, those two personal interests lead to creating Apple, one of the most creative companies in the world.
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. – Rob Siltanen
Next time someone calls you weird, smile and be grateful you’re not a boring bastard like the person who called you weird.

Lady Gaga was teased for being weird and different in school
Being teased for being ugly, having a big nose, being annoying. ‘Your laugh is funny, you’re weird, why do you always sing, why are you so into theater, why do you do your make-up like that? – Lady GaGa
Yeah, she was different from some of her more ordinary peers, when she left school what made her different led to her huge success.
If you are judged for being different in any way, maybe your appearance, musical tastes or your interests try not to let it get you down. What you’re being criticized for now could turn out to be your biggest strength in the future.

Christina Hendricks didn’t fit in when she was at high school
Photo by Dominick D via Wikipedia
Christina Hendricks of Mad Men fame felt like she didn’t fit in with the cool kids in high school.
“My school days were pretty unhappy. I had the worst high school experience ever. I was a bit of a goth with purple hair and I was also part of the drama group, so my friends and I were all weird theatre people and everyone just hated us.”
It seems like all the kids who were different in some way on the people who go on to accomplish great things in the world.

Oh how silly of you to forget that your eyes are looking straight into a mirror ?? ?

Laugh out loud that is funny
I’m not weird. I’m a high-functioning sociopath. Do you research.
im not weird your just way to normal
I’ve been called weird millions of times. I like to assure Captain Obvious that he don’t know the half of it. I’m even weirder than I appear, like a weird onion, I’ve got layers of weird that go all the way down.
I also like to respond in song, quoting John Thoroughgood. “Yeah, evabody funny. Now you funny too. One bourbon! one scotch! and one beah!”
Love it!!
I hate it when people call me weird. Will try a few of these.
well then better get revising them don’t wanna keep lookin at ur phone reading them out lol
lmao, i need to…
I not weird I’m just more unique than you are.
Ordinary is a great comeback. Who wants to be called ordinary.
Yeah, weird is a complement. If someone calls me ordinary… Someone is waking up in the hospital tomorrow and I dout it’s going to be me!!!
I told a girl at school trust me, as you get to know me I get weirder. It was so funny to see the look on her face. She is one of those boring people with no personality.
this is for all of the boring bastards out there. When I told you that is normal I may have exaggerated slightly! News alert: normal is boring.
Im not weird. I’m just high
Ya, am weird
wonderful
exciting
interesting
real
diffrent
I need you in my life….BWAHAHAHAHAH 😉
There’s this girl calling me dumb. What can I say to her?
Hi Faustina,
You could try a few of these:
Is that right? And what exactly have you accomplished in your life time that makes you Einstein?
Unless your name is Google, stop acting like you know everything.
If you want dumb, go look in the mirror.
Oh, I see you are rubbing off on me.
Good luck,
Bryn
Or this for instance: I believe that there is one right in front of me right… Now
Just call her ludicrous or a cretin.
You could try saying:
– “You’re dumb just means: I can’t find a good argument to counter yours so I’ll just insult you instead. Who’s dumb now?”
or…
– “The village called. They want their idiot back. You’d better get going.”
or…
– “I believed in evolution until I met you.”
maybe…
– “Your ass must be pretty jealous of all the shit that comes out of your mouth.”
Kind regards,
Emelia.
PS) I hope these do you some good xxx
Tell her “At least I don’t bully people just because I’m jealous of them.
?LANGUAGE WARNING?
Person:You’re weird
Me: If I’m weird that makes you a boring normal cunt!!
Hello, my name is Delize. People I know have been calling me Disease for years now. Can you give me some advice in what to say?
‘Yes, I have a rare disease called (Perfection/ Awesome/Clever/Whatever you want.) It ain’t contagious, and you obviously don’t have it.’ How about something along those lines?
Good luck,
Alex.
the only disease i have is being subjected to poor jokes
I think you must have some kind of hearing problem. I told you my name was Delize but your brain cell doesn’t seem to recognise the error.
I know I’m weird I’m not the type of weird that they would show in movies and junk I’m the fun type of weird and I’m proud but what made me mad is that I’m that quiet/shy type and this girl called me weird because I was walking past her fast 😐 like wow she’s obviously idiotic and has issues and low self esteem for trying to come for a innocent person who does nothing to anybody and stays out of drama but yea I’m gonna say something I’m tired of being talked to any type of way just because I’m quiet and people think I won’t do nothing about. ??Time to make some changes!!
Hey Tomboy 123,
There would be nothing worse than being completely ordinary. Keep on being original.

Your Weird for being “NORMAL”
I FEEL IT
You say I’m crazy? Let me get down of my Unicorn and SLAP YOU.
You don’t get my concept of creativity. Do some research
When some one calls me ugly, Them: You’re ugly. Me: I’m sorry, are you sure you aren’t looking in a mirror. (Only if they say that they are not looking in one say, Oh, it’s because you broke it… with your face)
I’m perfectly normal, thank you very much. Everybody else is weird.
That’s a great comeback,Liv.
I dont know why people are saying to other people are weird…
THEY ARE WEIRD TOO
BUT I GUESS THAT THEY STILL DIDNT REALIZE THAT ;D
wierd and brown actually two words to describe myself…..?
So these girls are making fun of my glasses any advice?
Here are a few things you can say
Wow, you noticed, huh, Sherlock? Thanks for telling me, I had no idea! What other gems of knowledge do you have for us today?
Man, I bet you were up all night, working on that one.
Well, four eyes are better than two eyes.
All the better to see your ugly face with, too bad for me!
Good luck
Bryn
I’m only weird to those who are normal.
Hi I need some advice because my crush called me cringy any advice would be helpful… Please no hate
Like um yes boo boo I am weird but that’s only because you’re normal and no one likes that so hun take a back seat if you wanna see funny
Well it’s an honor to have more than one feature in common with THE STEVE JOBS
In response to Girl you’re thinking of dating saying “you’re weird”:
*People like this motivate me to be more like myself, I don’t conform to some standards, I don’t try to be different, I just am different, original actions shine in the world*
“Well then by that logic it would be really weird for me to pay for anything if we go on a date, so you’re buying the pineapple pizza.” I hate being called weird, it’s so derogatory, I respect women, but it’s the equivalent of saying “women should not be so ambitious,” or “you throw like a girl.” Yeah well what the heck does that mean?! I lose so much respect for people when they use the word “weird,” it has negative connotations.
Snoop Dogg once said:
“Be the best you, you can be, because there’s no one else in the world who could be a better you.”
You all can join my club any day cause you should never let what others say or think about you get you down. Wake up every single day and try to be like no one else but yourself. Dream so big that it scares you, and you will change the world around you without noticing. People around you will have mad respect for you for being so original and authentic. I grew up in a city of 10,000 people and I get the feeling that some people view me as hero, well my success is a result of me being myself, and if that’s being ‘weird’ I wouldn’t want to be anyone else. Tell yourself: “I make a difference in the world, I am change, I matter, it’s people like me who matter in the world when otherwise the world would stay the same and not progress.” Be proud my people, be passionate, live and die a happy person cause you forged your own path, be you.
The name you make for yourself in the world will leave a greater difference in the world than what you may be labelled as.

Someone from my church called me weird. I said they called Jesus weird.
“Well, I would rather be weird ANYDAY than to be normal like you!”
