Would you befriend a "WEIRDO" ?

of course I would. the so called wierdos are usually much nicer people than people that follow mainstream fashions and trends, and worry about being seen to fit in. in my experience, people that try and fit in will shout abuse at me on the street for dressing differently from them. maybe it's because they wish they had the self confidence not to just follow the crowd and choose clothes based on what they like instead of what the magazines say is in. but they're too worried about being seen as "in" so they feel threatened when they see someone that doesn't care what is in fashion, because that is the thing they feel gives them worth, and someone not caring about that is someone that doesn't see worth in the thing they think is most important about themselves. so they shout abuse and make nasty comments about what that person is wearing in the hope that the person will give up their individuality and be more like them, and in doing so validate their "worth" as someone who is one of the crowd and in fashion. people outside of the mainstream are, again in my personal experience, more likely to be open, friendly, tolerant, fun to be around, and are often more intelligent. because they approach things with a mindset that will look at different sides to the same argument. long live weirdos. they're usually nicer than everyone else.

Why yes i would, why? because i'm classified as wierd, strange, stupid, and all the other things that people can think of because i'm a bit... different, I do in some ways fit in society, but my personality in real life just makes people say what the.. and try to back up slowly, and I know a few people who have befriended me themselves. so I'd do the same in a heartbeat :3

Most of my friends look wierd. Drag queen, tattoos, multicolored hair. It's easier for me to be friends with weird looking folks, because I look different, too. I'm a wheelchair and, especially as a kid, "freaks" were nicer to me.

why not? they are more honest than normal people! lesser plastic, so I befriend with them in fact I am a weirdo too! :)

yes sure i would^^ you know many people are not friends with these people bcs dont want to be seen as freaks also. but thats stupid really^^ you know is nothing wrong if you are friends with someone that looks a bit weird^^ if he is sweet and makes you laugh and is nice why not?^^ doesnt matter the looks what matters is the friendship and how sweet the person is^^ like those popular girls that are usually hot and are stupid and bad to others. why would i want to be friends with them? to be popular too? for me popular means nothing^^ what means is a true friendship that can last forever^^ popular can last in school but when you leave you have nothing but a true friend stays^^ so for sure i can be friends with whatever it looks like ahah even with beast from beauty and the beast i could ahah^^

I usually befriend with people who have same interests with me. My group of friends are also like me. We share the same interests in life, hobbies and other more. We also have differences, but sometimes, differences make people get along together too. "Weirdos", for me, are not really stupid but they just havethings in life that most people see as "abnormal" things for a normal person to do.

as long as that person does not gossip or break the law or hurt other people, i'm ok with it. "weirdo" is a label made up by the mainstream society simply because these people think differently, act honestly, and have a different way of looking at and treating things. for me, these people are very interesting and very real. also, i don't believe that the weirdo label should be limited to how people appear physically, it's beyond that. it's sad that some people judge others for the way they look and act, that's shallow.

Hi Torchablazed, Its all in the eye of the beholder. I've learned a long time ago not to judge a book by it's cover. So yes, I would befriend the person that turns heads everywhere he/she goes. I have many friends like that and they are some of the most interesting people you could want to meet. They know how to be themselves and don't really care what others think. It's not a bad quality at all.

What is normal to us may not be so to a person labelled as a weirdo. Most things in life can be viewed from more than one angle or perspective. Saying that a person is a weirdo for having an unthought of viewpoint by most people is a hasty action. Ideally we should try to understand his/her ideas and thoughts. Maybe we will come to the conclusion that the person is not a weirdo after all. I was said among other things to be a weirdo, crazy, and narrow minded. Why? I have my own principles in life. If I do not see any necessity to follow the crowd I stay away. I look at things from as many angles as possible, thus my viewpoints used not to concur with the opinion of the masses. I used to dress in an eccentric way because many girls were attracted to me and wanted to be my life partner. It was one way to ensure that I was not given a second look. Weirdos are welcome to befriend me.

No I wouldn't because it's not right I feel the WEIRDO ones are the jealous ones they wish were as smart as them, cd

I'm an eccentric weirdo.. I guess that's why I don't have many friends...

This would all have to depend on who i considered to be a weirdo. We all have our quirks and ways of doing things. Anyone can be thought of as a weirdo. i try not to prejudge people. i like to accept them for who they are.

I would not honestly because they are firstly weird and secondly weird and thirdly weird. They will embarass you in the public and oh i would not. But are you saying that freak looking person is weirdo? If it is, then yes i would because even though they are 'freak looking', they are still humans, just like you and me. So what if they are freak looking? What about their personality? Just because they are freak looking, that does not mean that they are unkind.

well why not? they say that weirdos has a hidden characteristic that other people do not know because they ignore them. and i believe that some weirdos are just weird because they feel very low or they feel sorry for themselves or they just feel like they can't get along with other people that's why they are alone. in other words, they might be shy persons. if other people think that they are weirdos, very rare talk to them that's why they have very less friends or most likely be seen alone. so, why not try to approach a person that you think is weirdo. who knows? you might get along with and become close friends. guys, maybe weirdos just need some attention so go on and befriend them. anyway if they don't want to them go on with your life. no harm done!

Sometimes people just ain't normal because they have different circumstances in life. We cannot blame them for being who they are because we just didn't feel or we didn't experience the same situations as theirs. Every person is privilege to do or think as he pleases, to each his own..I would befriend a "weirdo". In their own world, maybe they also think of us as weirdos. =)

Lulz why not? I know a lot of pplz like this. When we don't know then we like to think that they're weird and crazy, but when we know them u discover that they can be better than any normal person.

Id befriend anyone, despite what they look like or how they act, because you never know when you will find a good friend. I think too much importance is placed on appearance and sometimes people can miss out getting know the real person becaise of it!

Why not, they are interesting and it is somehow challenging to be their friend. They are loner because nobody understands them. People should accept and understand their way, they don't deserve to be judged. It's their personality, let's just face the reality. ^_^

Hey Im a weirdo and proud - never judge a man till youve walked a mile in his moccasins. Wouldnt do for us all to be "normal" otherwise it would make a pretty boring world. And just for the record its the most normal looking people in the world that are the most dangerous.Say it loud Im weird and proud!!

i hate that term "weirdo". I find it offensive. Labeling people is useless. No one is a label. A person's outward appearance is just an expression of who they want to be. At the end of the day all of us are human and we bleed just the same. And when I say labels I am referring to all labels-professional, social, religious, cultural, racial, and national. You limit yourself when you make a decision on who you let into your life based on superficial labels such as "loser", "weirdo", "The cool guy", "the hot chic", etc, etc. No one is a label and I see no one as a "weirdo". All I see are people (some good, some bad). Who I let into my life depends on the character of the person. I could care less what they label themselves as.
