How weird are you....

I think I'm the only sane one0

Depends on who you ask. The people who know me say I am the good weird but others (like neighbors and such) think I'm the hermit weird. I workout at home.0

I'm pretty weird0

I don't have superstitions like that, but I am weird. I won't go into details but I will say when you're actually weird, you don't typically think of it as cool, you just feel you stick out all the time and you look back on a childhood of horrific bullying and abuse and as an adult you frequently cry in privacy because you know you will never truly fit in anywhere, and you're all alone.
I feel like today the whole world "wants" to be weird and will advertise their "quirks" but always acceptable ones, like "ZOMG I am such a NERD!" It's always "cool weird" stuff. "I read the most OBSCURE books!" or "science geek FTW!" -
etc.
But people who really are weird...? Different story. Socially, there's a line between accepted-and-cool weird, and stay-away-because-that's-not-a-cool-sort-of-weird-weird.
Sorry to get passionate about that. I see stuff like this pretty frequently (though the OP's weird was IMO more of a brave admission than the usual - superstition doesn't necessarily ever fall under "cool weird") and as someone who has spent a large portion of her life crying in privacy and in frustration over knowing I'll always put people off if they see the real, non-average me (I know this from experience, it's not a generalized fear), I WISH I could brag about my accepted weirdnesses and list them proudly. I can't. I never will. I'm autistic. My weird will never be cool, even when it crosses over into geek territory.
Just my $.02.
This. It's like when people say OMG I'M SO OCD. No. You're not. You're an idiot. If you were actually OCD you'd know it's not funny or cute or interesting. It's soul destroying and controls your whole life, it's a real debilitating disorder, not a quirky personality trait.1 -

You can't go into a shark tank and ask all the sharks if they're normal or weird. Silly woman, sharks don't talk.0

Before I eat a donut, I balance on my left shoulder. Then I left it roll down my arm where I then fling it into the air and catch it with my mouth.1

Are you sure? Actually legitimately weird? Like, when I lived in the northeast I used to take the bus quite a bit to go into the city as I hated driving in the city. There was this one guy who was a regular who wore a glow-in-the-dark plastic crucifix (?????????) and would stand up in the bus and scream at us about Jesus. But while he was screaming nearly insensibly he'd be kind of cracking up. Do you like being next to people like that?0 -

On the plus side...anyone who's interested, you now know how to get a date with HIcks. ^0 -
I think you have to define "weird" first. Some would consider me definitely "not normal", but in my group of acquaintances (what few I have), I am perfectly well adjusted. However, most of us are not "normal" by conventional standards and many of us have societal difficulties due to spectrum or mental disorders. Some noticeable, some not.
Again, it just depends on what you might consider weird.0 -

It was pretty eye-grabbing, I'll say that much.
But maybe it was the standing up and laughing while screaming insensibly about Jesus Christ that was the real draw, not totally sure.

And I mean, are we talking like a regular sized crucifix or one of those wall hangers my step-mother has creepily hanging over the entryway to her home?0 -

Oh, no, it was a necklace thing. It was kind of big, I guess, for a necklace (trying to remember?) but not gigantic.
I mean...this crazy wacko wearing plastic Christs on his sweaty neck had THAT much taste, give the man some credit. Seriously oversized whiteish-green Jesuses are just...gauche.0 -

Especially when they glow eerily in the dark and stare down at you with some weird combination of sadness and condescension at 1 AM in the morning as you go to the fridge to grab a bite or sit and watch The Twilight Zone because you can't sleep.1 -
