Why do people think that you're weird?

Why would you want to be normal in all fairness

In the words of Dr Gregory House; normal's not normal.

I go to the cinema on my own.

My wife doesn't have the same taste in movies.

This makes me very weird and a loser apparently.

I also go the cinema on my own its the best way to enjoy it and also when its not busy love having the whole cinema to oneself:)

I also walk upstairs to my bed with my lights of I know my house like the back of my hand.

I like to cook all my veg in one pot think its very inefficient to use more than one.
If I use my oven then I will cook all my dinner in the oven and not use the hop or any other method to cook but as the oven is the most inefficient way of cooking and the hardest on electricity I try to use it as little as possible.

I don't drink tea or coffee. Trying to tell that to an Irish person, is like telling them they have them you have a terminal illness or something!

I hate coffee its vile vulgar stuff even the smell of it is horrible and when I rule the world I will have it all destroyed and make it illegal to drink it.
I drink the odd cup of tea but can also go ages with not drinking it at all. I don,t see anything odd or weired about an Irish person not drinking tea or that other stuff.

I'm a middle-aged woman with Asperger's. I got "weird" right out of the box.

When I was growing up, I was weird because of that, and because I preferred classical to other kinds of music, read two books a day, spelled perfectly, had cool grown-up handwriting, used big words, was the only girl on the chess club and quiz team, corrected the teachers in school when they made errors of fact (yes, I was THAT girl), and, oh, a thousand other things.

Now I'm weird because I often prefer the company of animals to that of humans, although people like me and think I'm "nice" in person. Despite being a classically trained musician and despite being not very comfortable in large groups of people, I found my work feet in an international engineering company as a corporate trainer, and then in an international small IT firm as lead tech support. I talk a little too much and too readily and I have opinions about everything. I cry a little too easily. I'm an immigrant American in the rural west of the country.

Not all of my weirdnesses are undesirable. By this age, they've either become prized differences that make me who I am, or tolerable quirkiness that makes me who I am. No bother.

Where Im from in rural kerry they consider me weird as I'm not into the holy triumvirate of church, gaa and alcohol. Sure people thought I was gay for having long hair and being into books and music. Its funny how people are suspicious of the ones who read there.
