When people ask about my personality, I usually tell them that I am eccentric. I am not the typical, I am not that normal.. I am weird.According to Wikipedia, there are eighteen distinctive characteristics that differentiate a healthy eccentric person from a regular person or someone who has a mental illness (although some may not always apply). The first five are in most people regarded as eccentric:
- Nonconforming attitude (CHECK)
- Creative (CHECK)
- Intense Curiosity (aka Chismosa? LOL... CHECK)
- Idealistic (hmmm.. slight CHECK)
- Happy Obsession with a hobby or hobbies (CHECK)
- Known very early in his childhood they were different from others (CHECK)
- Highly intelligent (Promil Kid... CHECK)
- Opinionated and outspoken (not sure about this one though... lol... CHECK)
- Unusual living or eating habits (ay this one is not true to me)
- Not interested in the opinions or company of others (not true, I love criticisms...)
- Mischievous sense of humor (Uhmmmm.... hehehehe)
- Single (DON'T RUB IT IN!)
- Usually the eldest or an only child (Eldest... CHECK)
I accept and love my eccentricity. It makes me a stronger person. Makes me adapt at unusual situations that our school system was unable to prepare us to handle and manage. It also helps me to get out of depression, out of sadness, out of slitting my wrist.
