So am I a wierdo or not and should I care?!

So am I a wierdo or not and should I care?

I'm going through one of those phases where I just can't understand myself. I read about what defines someone as a loner and what defines someone as a "social butterfly". I could write a book about different circumstances that places me in both categories, but what I need to know is why some people (co-workers in the engineering field) highly respect me and other people (co-workers that I became friends with while working as a waiter) think or thought at one time say that I'm just wierd. I guess that word is what bothers me and lately I've been called that a lot in social gatherings with certain people. However, I'm starting to not want to be social anymore the more I here that I'm quirky. If anyone can shed some light on this situation I would appreciate it.

Well, you haven't given us enough information to determine if you are quirky.

And anyway, what's wrong with being different?

Einstein was considered retarded by his teacher! He was quirky.

Be social, be yourself, and if the people you meet don't like you for the unique person you are, then that's THIER problem.

:) Good luck!
