    Better question is when am I not seen as strange? I’d guess pretty rarely, especially since I started dyeing my hair multiple unnatural colors

    I was a young adult in the 2010s. Not diagnosed with anything yet, and a complete wierdo who subconsciously knew I really only got along with other people wierd like me (so other NDs).

    I was at least two dudes “manic pixie dream girl” trope a couple times. It kinda fucking sucked, but looking back and realizing this, I can laugh, but christ.

    I was 18, working at target, putting away diapers, climbing the shelves like a monkey to reach the top shelf. I Looked to my coworker who was like "what are you doing?, and I said, “what im a monkey” with a laugh. “youre not normal” they said. I said, “normal is boring”.

    christ, i was such an idiot, a happy one though, least then.

    Always took being called wierd/odd/whstever as a compliment. I got involved with my local punk music scene pretty early in life. That whole bit gave me confidence it was okay to be me.

    Yeah ive been called odd lol. Something to own rather then reject. All my friends are odd, all the people I love are a little odd (by societies standards)

    I’ve been seen as strange ever since I realized being strange was a lot more fun than being normal :3 and then I did whatever I wanted to instead of trying to fit in

    Weird, strange, clumsy.

    Basically the layman’s hint to autism, unbeknownst to himself.
