How To Be Weird

Do you enjoy being random, or just plain weird? Perhaps you are tired of being just like everyone else, and long to be unique. Here are some ideas on how to be weird.

1) - Don't be someone who you are not and say whatever you think. If you copy another person you may be labbeled as a poser or wannabe

2) - Straight away, you need to stop caring about what other people think! Stop caring about your image. Allow yourself to be seen shouting in public, or skipping around carefree in the street. Your reputation does not matter -you are an oddball now.

3) - If you are known for being normal or super conservative, stop reading this page, unless you are fully committed to a full life style change.

4) -Invent words, places, and customs. Invent a holiday, and give it a weird name, then when the day comes around, get decked out. Like, if it was a holiday called International Action Figure Day, get a ton of action figures and reenact the scenes from the movie/tv series or comic!

5) -When Halloween comes around, dress as something really weird. Like a Jedi warrior or some person whose famous for being stupid. They're out there!

6) -Wildly fluctuate the tone and pitch of your voice at different times.

7) - Have a catch phrase. Make it something nobody else has used before, make it out of the ordinary. But don't say it too much, people tend to get annoyed easily.

8) - Say random things such as phrases or facts.

9) - State the obvious. Or maybe the things that should be obvious, but aren't to everyone around you. And point out smart things that would have been useful 5 minutes ago, to make them think your slow yet witty.

10) - Personify things. Hug people for 30 seconds out of the blue. Pretend your video games are your best friends!

11) - Overreact. For example, if you see a slinky, act as if it's a great discovery. Or, if you do a minor bad thing, like forget to push in your chair or creased a piece of paper, become depressed. I don't mean turn into an emo person, just do it occasionally if you prefer to.

12) - Focus on a single, odd, thing. For example, be extremely polite, scold people when they use improper grammar, if they put their elbows on the table, talk in an accent, etc. Mixing it up really helps increase your weirdness.

13) - Get an obsession, but make it out-of-the-blue. Perhaps Dora the Explorer or warm goat milk. This could be a bad idea if you tend to lose interest in things easily. Things from other cultures are quite effective, for example Confucianism and other types of philosophy.

14) - Blurt out whatever thoughts are roaming through your mind.

15) - Interject a 1/2 thought into a conversation. For best results make sure your 1/2 thought has nothing to do with the conversation.

19) - Pretend like you don't know what some specific things are. Like, "Hey, ______. Want a banana?" And then say, "What's a banana?"

20) - If people around you already say that your weird take their word for it and just be yourself. See tips.21Have a signature thing that you do. For instance, a stupid walk, or barking to every telephone pole you see.

22) - Act upset over little things, like if your friend steps on an ant. Don't be upset too long, just a good minute or two will make them laugh.

23) - Wear whatever you want. Just don't make too much of an effort. See tips.

24) - Talk to yourself, just don't reveal anything TOO personal and don't do it all the time, just if someone around is ignoring you ect.

25) - Find stupid acronyms for real words. For instance, STUPID can be Special Talented Unicorn Pickles In Distress.

26) - Last but not least, find and watch, read, play, ect, odd things. Like Charlie The Unicorn, The Lord Of The Rings and Star Wars for example! Now your ready to take on the world!

27) - Act like a creeper during school. Stare and follow one of your old friends around.

28) - If your school has lockers, post random pictures to random peoples lockers.

29) - Use text language, like OMG, LOL, WTF, and so on.

30) - Clothing is a major part of being crazy! Combine clashing colours or patterns. Dress up in unusual clothing such as fairy wings, witches' hats, or vampire teeth. Halloween costumes are always great.

31) - Carry around a stuffed animal or a certain object 24/7. If it somehow gets lost, you should be heartbroken!32Speak with strange accents, and speak in gibberish.

33) - Find a random word that you love - use it consistently. Say it to people at school, to the cashier, to strangers, and to anybody that you want to.

34) - Choose a strange hobby, such as collecting packing peanuts and turning them into sculptures, making piñatas, painting your nose, or writing bad poetry about chipmunks with horns.

35) - Every day (or week, or month...) choose for yourself a new identity. Be Napoleon, the President, a Princess, a Prince, an Elf, etc. Remember to think and act like that person would.

36) - Have a strange pet, such as a pet rock, a pet soda can, or a pet sneaker. Take it everywhere with you, and converse with it.

37) - Become an expert on a strange topic, such as couches, clouds, or toilets.

38) - Buy a small item (erasers, rolls of tape, toilet paper) in bulk, and wander around a public place (like the mall) passing them out. Try saying something like, "You'll need this", "Don't go anywhere without________", or, "Just like my momma used to make me! Yessirey - __________ is an indespensable item! Never leave home without it!"

39) - Ask random people if they've seen a rhino, and elephant, etc., "anywhere around here". Seem serious about it.

40) - Talk to shrubs, your hand, a wall, the sidewalk, etc...

Tips

For shouting random things, just think before like 'Holy butterfly wings' or 'juicy cats don't wear glasses' ect. For random facts, look random facts at a search engine. Go on from there.

If someone says something insulting to you, or say your weird in an insulting way. Make them feel like they just gave you the biggest compliment!

Also, dress the way you want. Just remember not to go too far.

Warnings

If you are being offensive, stop. You can be weird elsewhere.

Don't do things that imitate or mirror people with genuine disabilities.

Don't imitate real people.

When you are not acting weird, people may still treat you as if you are a complete jerk.

Refrain from drooling, as it is perceived as creepy.

Don't be creepy, people will just think you aren't all there in the head.

Don't do all of this stuff in front of a teacher or other member of authority, they may refer you to a therapist.

Some of the steps in this manual can sound like you're acting, even to the public - therefore you could end up in a center for various crazy people. Eccentric is different from weird.

Remember, some jokes can be hurtful, so be careful not to offend anybody too much. There is a limit to what you can say about somebody. But still speak your mind, even if the person is hurt you shouldn't not say what you think, just don't be extremely blunt with it.

Don't do anything too risky just to be unique!

Things You'll Need
