Tired of being weird.

I think my friends think I'm weird. We have a group chat, and most of the time when I say something, they ignore it. They don't always ignore it, but to me it feels like I don't belong. I make corny, innocent jokes from time to time and I get ignored. Someone posts something negative in the group, then they respond..I just don't get it anymore. I'm sad because I have always felt like an oddball so I think I should just exclude myself.  They are also very judgemental.

Some celebritries are weird. Like michal jackson and lady gaga. They become global superstars. I am "different" from other people. Yet, I was very porpula in high school. Weird does not mean a bad thing. On social media, some people and pets look weird. They have a lot of followers.

Hello!
I completely understand how you feel. I often feel the same with all my friends and it has only increased since graduating high school. Honestly it sounds like you’re trying to be positive in a negative environment which is hardly ever positive. I was taught by my mentor to find other positive people to be around and chat with, this gives you more positivity and people who will listen. Don’t give up on your friends if you really are friends with them, and of course you can do as you wish. I can only speak from my own experiences. You are a wonderful person worth listening to, you are worthy of love and attention.

Another thing to remember is don't try too hard. Just be you. Don't think you have to crack the joke or stand out. Be content with you

Maybe its what you say, and how you say it. I cannot judge you but when you say something and its not heard, keep saying it or say it differently.

Your thoughts stem from your personal insecurities. Its possible that what you say is not helpful, or maybe it is, but its the way you come across when you say these things. You are not weird, i was called weird by the girls at school, but they loved me. They would sit by me in class and try and get me to speak, because i was very quiet.

As Peycejosh1987 wrote, your interpretation of their reaction to you may be skewed due to your own insecurities.

I empathize with what you are saying, however, and can't count the times I have felt similar anguish.

I try to hold onto the philosophy that not everyone works on the same wavelength and you should not necessarily adjust who you are just to "blend in".

As my mother always told me: "Let your freak flag fly"!
