I used to enjoy the label in school of being “weird”, but after many years of conformity it’s hard to remember what those things were.

What makes you weird/unique? Characteristics, hobbies, connections, etc I want to know!

    My preference for the actual truth, even if it doesn’t benefit me. Seems to me far too many people prefer to stay wrapped up in their own little world because the reality that is the big picture is too inconvenient for them to GAF about. Works for a while, but inevitably ultimately leads to the self-destructive hole the USA is in right now.

      Not being interested in social conventions, for me.

      Not in a too cool for school way, I’ve never been purposefully contrarian. It just often never even occurs to me that someone would care what others thought of something they are doing to the point of going against their own nature or best interest.

        yeahh I’ve started to stop caring as i get older. spent 20+ years frustrated for not understanding and trying to figure it out until i just gave up and accepted i never will. fuck it. life’s too short to care anyway.

    I haven’t had sex in about 30 years, I guess that’s pretty weird. I’m not an incel or a virgin, I was sexually active as a teen, I just never put any effort into it as an adult because I have little interest or drive, I’ve probably also ignored or missed a bunch of cues from women who might be interested by not caring. I still don’t care about it.

    Genuinely not caring about most things, and caring wildly drastic amounts about a tiny amount of things. 99% of the stress in my life is from trying to act interested in things cared about by the people important to me.

    To be clear: I don’t think either my apathy or my concerns are weird in and of themselves. I think rather that they are the cause of my social misalignment.
