WEIRD
We all have our own perception of other living things. What living being should we be afraid of, love, be friendly toward, and so on? But of all living beings, humans are the most interesting. There are a few adjectives you may have heard or used for people: people are stupid, morons, idiots, selfish, untrustworthy, calculative, trashy, toxic, and the list goes on in all directions. Actually, I am confused about the perception of humans. We’ve all seen someone act differently in one place and then in another. so confusing to understand. The reason of being confused is may be we have gap between “knowing” and “understanding”. Many of the times, we use one word: “weird.” What exactly is weird?
For “weird,” there are many similar words: horrific, unnatural, creepy, funky, awful, etc. We can’t define a person properly. The definition of “person” changed according to the individual’s mood, behavior, and bias. We see in the politics many a times. Two people were fighting for a seat in Parliament. And then we see them enjoying themselves together. Sometimes it’s so complicated. We can’t decide whether they are together or opposed. People become “great” if they are praising or giving lovely words. People are “stupid” when someone you firmly oppose gets elected, promoted, or appreciated. People feel fall down, when someone you trusted screws you over. Many of these things can happen. In all such scenarios, a person can feel weird about another person if he or she does not behave as they expect.
Expectation is the reason for everything. We set our expectations for others, and if they did not fulfil them, we started calling their behaviour weird or unusual. According to me, being weird is one of the most fantastic things about humans. It is neither a fully positive term nor a fully negative one. In a good way, weird is like wise, educated, intelligent, rich, and democratic. and unusual in a negative way. But if our perspective is good, then being weird is better. taken as a scenario where people call us weird. If we go with not properly dressing up for traditional events, and if we give suggestions daily in office meetings, This word is frequently used in the workplace to refer to new members.
If you embrace your weirdness, you’ll be on the way to becoming who you are. People feel you are weird because you are trying to figure out things in your own way. Sometimes we believe that people are not friendly or nice to you because they are weird. But remember, those people missed out on the amazing and awesome character in you. When you saw a person in first time or meet at first time. Things appeared to you as attractive people who were warm, friendly, fatherly, kind, intelligent, knowledgeable, mature, wild, fun, crazy, and awesome. We become excited about them. But when it comes to regular, ordinary people with plenty of flaws, insecurities, and unimpressive accounts to their life’s story, your excitement about them is over. So first, we need to stick with real data rather than our own expectations. Some people are weird in first time. Actually, not becoming weird is the weird thing. Being weird is the first step in accepting ourselves. If we are okay and happy with being weird, then it doesn’t matter how society judges us. Go with your ideas. Speak out loud in office meetings; raise your concerns without hesitation. All thinks are OKAY and no weird. Embrace your weirdness. People laugh at you because you are different; you laugh at them because they are all the same.
As ‘Beth De Llama’ said “weird is side effect of awesomeness.” and “Be crazy. Be stupid. Be silly. Be weird. Be whatever. because life is too short to be anything but happy.”
