Best thing ever.

I can't tell you how many times I've been told by people that I am the weirdest person that they have ever met. And the people who tell me are usually my closest friends and family members. I take it as a compliment.

This exactly. Every single person I know has told me that at least once, and the closer they are to me, the more I hear it. Taking it as a compliment is the way to go. "The ones that care don't matter, and the ones that matter don't care."

Also, I do have to say that there is indeed such a thing as "weird," because I am a part of it, and I know that I do not fit normalcy. I have always felt awkward and have never fit in anywhere I've ever been because of it, and I have been reminded of it time and time again by the people that I've met, in both positive and negative ways. Quirks do not make a person odd or unconventional in the slightest. Everybody has those. It's the funniest thing in the world to me when one of my acquaintances that is completely, 100% normal and conventional says that everybody is weird, or when one of them calls herself weird because she eats apples with a spoon. ....No. Just, no.

Also. I eat paper. Always have. And I've never questioned it.

My college serves peanut butter, banana, and bacon sandwiches probably every other week. They're absolutely delicious.

I smile and laugh a lot, but I'm usually sad, underneath the momentary hilarity.

I'm not in the target audience for a lot of things, but I am still a huge fan.

I'm on the internet until 4:00 in the morning all the time, but I'm never looking at porn. I'm usually learning, to be honest.

I always walk around in my bra when I'm at home, or in my dorm room. That's not unconventional clothing or anything, but apparently it's still "weird," since most people either walk around fully clothed or nekkid.

But do those things make me strange? Not at alllllll. They're all superficial quirks. Weirdness or strangeness is something far deeper.

lol, Sorry, Alex.

^^This^^ My avi (which I will keep until New Years or so) took me 16 hours to carve. Yeah, I am weird . I admit it, and I love it.

Really? Eating stuff that isn't food is called PICA. It's a mental disorder
If I remember correctly, I think you told us on the old forums you eat worms?

Seriously? You know it's in the DSM-IV right?

What is Pica and Why do People Self Harm?
Lesser Known Mental Health Conditions in DSM-IV

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) is a psychiatrist's diagnostic bible. Some conditions like pica and self-harm are not commonly known.

Depression, anxiety disorders and substance abuse are among the commonly known psychiatric conditions listed in the book. The following list takes a look at some conditions the DSM-IV discusses which are much less familiar.
What is Pica?

An unusually named condition called pica describes the habit of swallowing or eating non-food items like dirt, coffee grounds, cigarette ashes and even small objects.

Pronounced PIE-kuh, the DSM-IV says this disorder is usually first diagnosed in infancy, childhood or adolescence. It is often associated with developmental delay according to Psychiatric Times columnist, Dr. Ron Pies, clinical professor of psychiatry at Tufts University.

Pica is also often associated with iron deficiency, but it is not clear whether pica causes the deficiency or is caused by it. The condition rarely extends into adulthood, though it is occasionally noticed in pregnant women.

“It’s a difficult condition to treat,” writes Dr. Pies, “though some evidence suggests that behavioral modification may be helpful.”

ACL, I'm no Doctor, but there is something seriously amiss with you and I'm sure others here (in the mental health field) will agree. We all care about you and we want to see you healthy. Please look into it....

No, I don't eat worms haha; I may have mentioned somewhere along the way, though, that when we were kids my cousin would, to gross people out. That's likely where that came from. Kid used to eat dog food regularly, too.

Eating paper is a somewhat normal thing to do, in my experience. Every once in a while I'll bring it up in a group when people are going around talking about weird things that they do, and there will always be at least two or three others that do the same thing. I also have too much iron in my blood, not a deficiency (thank you, bio lab last year). Psychologically, I am, thankfully, healthy, because I know what it is like to be unhealthy. I'm all right.
