@JeffGrigg entirely up to you what is weird I think

@lifewithtrees @ShaulaEvans give it time … I made it from "weird kid" to "normal adult", but it took five decades! #wisdom

@lifewithtrees yes, but in healthier ways now. I wouldn’t like me-as-kid even now, I think, not all that much.

@lifewithtrees I feel like asking this is the Fediverse is going to get somewhat biased answers

I like the analogy that some types are simply more stimulating. However I feel that bland has a negative connotation so something else might be better suited
But again I absolutely love the approach cause especially the stimulation overdrive is what some days literally feel like.
@Kmachel @lifewithtrees After being harassed for most of my life by people who perceive them selves as ”normal”, and therefore ”better”, I feel the somewhat negative connotation is at least someone deserved.
I see a user case for a less adversarial word as well thought. Something for the allies, and the openminded. How about #neuromild as neutral option?

@Kmachel
neurovanilla and neuropepperoni
@jordgubben @lifewithtrees@fnohe Love it!
May I also sugest #neurolime, #neuromint, #neurochocolate, and #neuroquattrostagioni as variants?
There’s diversity in the #neuroflavours, so let’s leave the #neutobinary behind.

@lifewithtrees
I thought I was weird, others thought I was weird. Now I know I an weird and think it is nice, and don't care when others think I am weird and see it negatively.
(I was the kid with varying obsessions and when I've talked to some of my first grade pals they remembered by weird obsessions -I left a Lasting Impression, which is hilarious.)

@lifewithtrees Weird all the way. (Only I don't have bullies as an adult, which changes everything)

@lifewithtrees wow surprised at the number of people who considered themselves weird as kids. Y'all were ahead of the curve
I was so so so reserved and locked down as a kid. There were like five internal committees operating between my brain and my mouth to ensure I never said anything in any particular way that could possibly be construed until leaving home.

@lifewithtrees I find other people exceptionally weird. I find myself perfectly rational, logical and natural.
