I have always been wondering these, even back in those days when i was young ( but i am still young! lol) I think i am different, really. I am not someone who have these bunch of girls following me..i can do things alone, i can eat things alone, but believe me i am not a loner. lol. I guess i just grew up taught to do things on my own if i can. Even right now in the office, i do not do this intentionally, Its like i get left out hahah like now they are long gown hunting..and i do want to join but then half of me says no, so i do not go and i really cannot join in and feels different when i try to. Am i weird? maybe i am but then i can find it alone. lol. But yes, i am alone and what the heck - i like being different, i do not go with the mainstream i can create waves on my own. Like even with what i wear, i do tend to stand out oh what i the heck - i do like being different and weird.... maybe i am. well I AM! have anyone of you felt like this? or is it just me right now feeling all these weird feelings?

You are unique and independent. I have been that way often. My daughter is that way. Enjoy yourself and appreciate your own unique abilities and values.

Welcome to different! It's not a world worth living in if we all were the same. And you think you're different . . . I'm a rat!

the feeling is mutual..either way sometimes we question ourselves.but if you feel comfortable with yourself then dont be bothered about being different.just find time enjoying yourself.one day you will find a person who is like you too.

I love your statement!! Absolutely I agree with you! For me being different is not weird but kind of interisting. I always proud to be myself even sometime some people ignore me. If I doing it by myself there's feeling that I can doing fine and that's great to be different. For my reason I wrote an article to raise up my confidence, you can read it too http://www.shvoong.com/how-to/careers/2146681-opinion-change-life/

It characterises ur personality and how u are different from the others nothing is wrong with that like u said, it depends on the way of how u are brought up eventhough u said that u love being different at some point u can doubt it these distractions may cause u to suffer in a limbo so, just love it, enjoy life..everything aside

yes you are different, we are all different expressions of life. and isn't that a beautiful thing? :) we can be who want we want to be and experience life in the manner we want it to be. freedom of expression that makes life perfect.

Hi there jazel_juan You are very indefpendant that's all, that doesn't make you weird. I used to go to the movies on my own when I was younger because I knew if I waited for everyone to get the evening off then I would never get to see the movie. I wouldn't go eat alone in a restaurant because that is somewhere I go to spend a special time with someone. It is actually hard for me to spend time alone at the moment because I have three kids but it is nice to have that time in the evening when they have gone to bed. I also prefer to go clothes shopping on my own without my girlfriends, I don't like to be influenced by others and make my own choices.

Hi juan, The fact is that very one is different from each other, The kind of your feeling different is in me too. I do not accept ideas of others without scrutiny. I do not follow people. Do not care what people say about me. I am what I am. Obviously people do not like very much people like you and me. But you can not drag me into your shoes.

Hello Jazel, I don't think you're different, but i wonder what were you afraid of when you're conscience were telling you not to hang out with them. i think it's still in the loners attitude, not because i said so, because i do the same thing when i was in highschool and college. i was like so different that i didn't feel like being close to me friends any more. then one night a friend of admitted that they have been talking behind my back saying am weird.. besides, with you're stage you need friends so that when you're in trouble one day some of those people would help you out. have a nice day

I think everyone is different, that no one person is the same as the other person. We all have individual thoughts, preferences, and what ever else that no one can share with us.

Hie "DIFFERENT" friend, It's nice to be different from others, if we are something different from others people imitate us and really it's a good thing that we are something different...................................something special.................

I have the same nature, but every one is different from other, having different nature, different taste, so every one is different, what so weird about that??

well Jazel_juan i know what you feel i'm different to :) and i like it pretty much :) others point to me that i'm strange, but we should not care about others in that sense, we just have to be who we are, our true self.

I feel this everyday , because now I grow up and I need to learn , to study , because I want to make me life better.Many people remain at the child age,and they don't see that today it's very hard to get a job,to buy a house for your family , to marry with someone,to buy a car,to be prepared for a baby , all of this will be in future , but if you are not ready for the first things,you will fall .I think you are more old than me , but I see that in this world , don't depends if you are from US or from Italy or from France , if you are a good man or good woman,your life will be more better.

Hi Jazel! I can say that for myself as well. I cant really say that i am a loner, perhaps the right term for us is "free-spirited." We do not depend on other people for our simple pleasures. I for one, feel good even though i eat alone in our office pantry. When my officemates are all hogging around in one corner, i would be alone on my desk smiling away as if i have a world of my own.. Hhahahah! I dont even think that "weird" is not the right term for us either. I guess "free-spirited" is just perfect for us.
