Not Be a Weird Person
Everybody has different definitions of being normal or weird. In reality nothing is totally weird or totally normal. Everyone will have their own idea about what's weird and what's normal. If you want to change because you feel that you're weird, you have found the right place. However, just because you are unique doesn't mean you are strange or weird. Don't try to be like the rest of the crowd just because mean people are judging you and don't change to get people to like you. If you have to change to make someone like you, they are not worth your friendship.
Steps
Attitude
- Represent yourself and opinions in a socially acceptable form.
- Put your beliefs and needs into a way others will listen to, accept, and respect. This way you will be respected, and not thought of as the weirdo.
- Hold onto your beliefs, opinions, and self concept and honor them, even when others don't.
- Always, no matter what happens, always stay calm.
Conversation
- Listen to others, and respond on topic. During conversation, it's a good rule of thumb to listen twice as much as you speak, that why you have one mouth and two ears.
- Whenever you feel the urge to shout something "random," control the urge. Randomness and weirdness go hand-in-hand. Keep your voice under control.
- Don't swear
Clothing
- Wear clothing for the functional event you are at. Don't wear a jacket if it's warm outside, that is weird.
- Don't wear unusual/eccentric clothing, keep it casual; A solid-colored tee and some jeans, a jacket if it's cold.
- Steer away from shirts with unusual writing on it, as that can be perceived as weird.
Tips
- Everyone has quirky things about them, which can be lovable and make up a part of their character that sets them apart. People would be boring if they were all "normal"
- People who call you weird as an insult are not your friends anyway. Would you rather have friends that love you for YOU or something THEY want you to be?
- Some people are just mean and say unpleasant things to get reactions. Ignore them, as disrespect says more about them then you.
- Don't change yourself completely just to fit other's standards.
- Stay yourself, don't just change because someone else doesn't like you; you need to like yourself and that's all that matters because if they accept "the real you" then you will always be cautious and nobody likes a super cautious "normal" person.
