      Nah, be cool with it. I’m weird, but I’m good weird, these people though they’re bad weird. By being comfortable with weirdness in ourselves we block the nou response

        nah, you’re right for two reasons:

        1. there can be multiple kinds of weird
          B) they don’t self-identify as weird as we do

        to be honest I kind of feel like “strange” has negative connotations whereas weird has been normalized.
