Have you ever been called weird after saying a corny joke? have you ever experienced people looking at you awkwardly because you laughed so suddenly? have someone told you that you are out of this world when you say something bizzare?
Everyday we claim to see weird people, be it out friends, teachers, or plain strangers that happened to catch our attention in the street.
Weird may be defined differently depending on a person's perception.
A particular person's standard of the concept of weirdness may not cohere with the standards of another person.
The brain works differently and so establishes different individual philosophies.
Our philosophy governs the way we see things.
Akin to the saying beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, ugliness and weirdness also follows.
This is because everyone is unique and has their own point of view. Sometimes, people with the same views and almost the same perception about things cluster together and form the so called "friendship", while avoiding those individuals that are utterly contra distinctive.
If there is enough difference between people, people either fight or flight.
The concept of fighting maybe physical but it can also be psychological, in a way that it devises rationale concluding that there must be something wrong with that particular individual.
we are subjected therefore to think that people whom we don't understand be called WEIRD. But is it all a little of a prejudice, a social discrimination of people whom we are not alike, a stereotypical view of the world, and a feeling of superiority? sabi nga ng isang kaibigan ko, "PUTANG INA MO PRANING KA GAGO", pero siya mismo ay kapareho ng ugali ng pinagsabihan niya.

I don't call other people "weird" dahil lang sa magkaiba kami. In fact, piling pili ang sinasabihan ko ng weird, and weird in a good way. I love weird people! Yung totoong weird. Mga unpredictable, matured, hindi mo pag iisipang pagtripan dahil alam mong mababara ka lang, etc. hirap explain. Pero sila talaga totoong weird. 3 nga lang sa dinami dami ng kakilala ko ang alam kong weird talaga. Yung iba kasi feeling weirdo lang e. jologs lang. Self proclaimed wirdo pa yung iba. eew. haha.
