Are you odd? In what way? What is in your conduct that makes you odd?
I don’t know is it sz or anxiety or some personality disorder, but i find myself unable to behave the way person my age and intelligence could/should behave. I am totally odd, i can’t speak normally in social settings or have fun like other people do. I am surrounded by kind people and they forgive me my interpersonal ineptitude, but I’m afraid it won’t last for long and they will get tired of me.
I’m useless in groups. Not too bad one on one.
Yes, me too.
I was wondering is it possible to overcome this somehow? Exposure doesn’t help much btw.
Guess we would need to know exact causes of odd behaviour… 
I’m sure the people who are around you socially are glad you are there. Silence means a lot sometimes. People might have an issue with you if you try to be something you are not.
@kuckuckuc do you mind me asking how old you are and if you are male or female?
36yo male 151515
Thank you and I get it, but for me it’s impossible to be who I really am.
So speaking normally and having fun socially is who you really are? I hope you reach your full potential.
I always feel like I’m totally normal and not odd at all compared to the people around me. But then people are always commenting on my strange sense of humor and how I don’t really fit in and mistaking my intentions and stuff like that, so I guess I’m probably a lot more odd than I think.
I’m a 50/50 split between Wednesday Addams odd and Luna lovegood odd.
Well, I talk to myself (and my alters) out loud a lot, I verbalize my thoughts like skits and scripts I think of, and I can’t help but just blurt things out out of nowhere it helps my mind feel less congested.
My mannerisms aren’t too weird but people often times comment on the way I act or do things, but they find the things I do funny, even though I’m not trying to be comical in the slightest.
If u get to know me in person I’m really odd. I can act like an eccentric child sometimes. If u get some sugar or caffeine in me its all over and i start hopping more then my bunnies
I feel like people expect a lot from me. I act very normal I think at first. Then some oddness sets in and it freaks people out.
What you describe is exactly the same with me. My mannerisms are very wooden and artificial. Sometimes I really stick out. I’ve pretty well resigned myself to the fact that I am not going to get my needs met by interacting with others. I take refuge in learning interesting things on Youtube and on educational tv and by reading.
I was always treated as odd as a teenager at public school , but nowadays I couldn’t say for certain other than I’m probably not normal for my age. It’s very hard to judge how odd any of us are without seeing us in person.
All my life people have called me odd, strange, weird and eccentric. And I don’t know why.

I need a shower.
No towels.
Figures.
I have no idea how I come across and usually have no idea what’s going on around me. But I drive all over the place and today I sat in a restaurant I’ve never been to before eating a doughnut while my car was being smogged. Why don’t people have a heart and just walk up to me and say, Dude, those people are pretending they aren’t looking at you. But they really are?" Lol, I’m making it sound worse than it really is.
Man I’m pretty normal… People could never tell I had schizophrenia unless they were in the other room and heard me talking to myself… cause it’s real obvious then.
I’ve been spending a lot of time alone and down town recently… and I have seen homeless schizophrenics in the flesh talking to themselves like they are having a conversation with someone.
Lol… dude that sucks and is frightening as I do have the illness… but people really are willing to look the other way.
A bunch of sad thinking after that.
Unfortunately… If I’m alone… I do sound a whole helluva lot like those folks.
I’m odd…I used to be able to mask it as eccentric when I was considered really intelligent, but sza has dampened my ability to be smart so now I just come across as weird. I’m not homeless but sometimes I like sitting on the street corner watching and listening to the world…and some guy once gave me $10 like I was begging!
