We all seem weird to someone.

I think anyone that's trying to be what they're not is a freak.  That includes some goths, but it includes some people from every other group, too.

This is totally such a cool question\n\nSee here is why, most people live in a tiny world. School, job, church, family, friends, neighborhood.\n\nBut they know there is more out there, that the world is big and mysterious and they yearn for it.\n\nMost can't leave their job or quit school and travel or understand the big mysteries of life.\n\nAnd so they become interested in the strange and weird things like for instance:\n\n1. Conspiracy theories: The Ba'Hai church REALLY shot JFK.\n\n2. Obscure trivia: In Lord of the Rings, who played the second orc on the right?\n\n3. Tech geekery: on a Pentium III Dell motherboard what is the jumper setting to override the BIOS password?\n\n4. Anime! Will the new Macross series be consistent with the Robotech world?\n\n5. Sports Trivia: how many NFL players wearing odd numbered jerseys ran for less than 20 yards in the 2001 season?\n\n6. Strange Religions and Cults: You should come to one of our Movementarian seances, we can contact the souls of deceased vegetable life on Mars...\n\nAnd that's why.

Yes when weird things like that happen I keep walking too.  Some people make it a practice to learn everyone's name around them even when there is no good reason too.  Maybe they want to befriend you for strange reasons.

They are not from this earth.  They are just visitors and that's their way of communicating with others of their type.

People are naturally curious. Why they often stare or eavesdrop, we do not know. But often times you see people totally taken in by what you are doing even though they are complete strangers. We are quite a voyeuristic society by nature.

We have a tendency to demonized things that are different, or that we don't understand.\n\nIt is a matter of laziness and ignorance.   It takes time and an open mind to understand and accept the diversity that makes society wonderful.  Unfortunately too few people possess that.\n\nAnd difference is potentially bothersome.  As long as it puts us outside of the "comfort zone" we have established for ourselves.

Different people have different ambitions and they are not always in sync with that of organization, hence all these problems. Basically people are plain stupid, simple.

Here are the following 7 strange things in the world: -\n\n1) In this 21st century, people still beleive in ghosts and other forms of supernaturals.\n\n2) The USA could not catch Osama-Bin-Laden, so it attacked Iraq for some fun.\n\n3) No one actually knows why all the great monuments were built, now that every government is earning profit by a diplomatic term for business called Tourism.\n\n4) Why did the Soviet Union attack Afghanistan, which was totally against the principles of its constitution based on Socialism and Communism.\n\n5) The Western countries still want to spread their culture and evils all around the world.\n\n6) People still eat out at restaurants and hotels even though Americans are the most health consious in the entire world, not to mention that magazines on health are the most widely published & sold in the USA.\n\n7) Capitalists bark about saving the world from pollution, who on the real front are themselves who exploit and waste the resources of the world and have vaporised most of the natural resources.

IGNORANT people of the world have problems with anyone they see as 'different.' It is fear of the unknown...and it is sad how much suffering in the world is created from it!

Somepeople are not convinced anything exists until they see it.  With many of the things about being rare or intangible, you may never get those people on your side.  Others dont believe because of culture or upbrining.

Weird is in the eye of the beholder.  Some people's brains are wired a bit differently (those with ADD, ADHD and Asperger's Syndrome, for example) and biologically think differently than the typical folks.  Some people have mental illness (OCD, bipolar, etc.) that make them act in extreme ways.  To these people, "normal" people are the weird ones.\n\nAnd some people really do go out of their way to act weird.  Go figure.

Some people are just more delusional than others.  Not all crazy people have visual hallucinations.  Some just hear voices.

Society generally has a prob with people who do things outside cultural norms.
