What you find weird might be normal for me and what I find weird might be normal for you. A lot of what is normal here is certainly thought of as weird somewhere else. For instance it's perfectly normal here for women to be engineers and scientists here whereas in certain parts of the world it is regarded by many as a sin.

Why do you want to be normal? The world is full of normal people, lets celebrate our weirdness!

Just be you. If you are doing no harm and others find you weird is that a problem?

@ninalanyon I met with two women briefly who are important parts of the cultural scene on my hometown and they asked how I am and I responded how I'm doing well and then they asked what's my plans and I said that I don't know and dwelled into an awkward silence and gaze.
And they literally physically turned their backs on me.
I felt like self sabotaging because I know how the gossiping goes in this community, should've acted more normal.

But the good thing is that afterwards I wrote this message I met an older guy who reminded me of my grandfather. All's well.
I felt like god heard me and brought this guy on my way home.

@being I don't think you necessarily need to be normal, you just need to briefly seem normal. You need to learn how to manipulate the people who control the cultural scene or whichever other community you might from time to time need support from. But I've never been able to do it, I can't read people properly and I don't want to put in the effort!

Just a little carefully directed conformity doesn't count as selling out your weird soul.

@ninalanyon I know that's why I spoke about self sabotaging.. now it's done. Just gave them One more reason. Maybe secretly I just don't want to be here any longer ?

It's emotionally too much this city for me and yet I love it

@being It’s because you didn’t fall into their beliefs of “normal’.
