Hi Nikki,
> I know I think I'm wierd.!!! I just see things in a different way, different things make me laugh.
Good! If we were all the same, wouldn't life be SO BORING? Think about it.
> I don't *want* to be wierd though.
Wierd is relative. If you came to stay with my wife and me, we would probably call you normal. :-) Don't look at it as wierd, instead you are just *different* from everyone else. That is NOT bad! By the way, did you ever consider that you might be "normal" and your friends are the wierd ones?
>People are always commenting on the fact that I always give "wierd" gifts (I think they're great gifts!), or laugh at the wrong time, find strange things hilariously funny.
You could be a relative! All I have to say is SO WHAT.
> But, I think alot of people find their wierdness unique. It makes them better artists, or writers or whatever. I have no real skills, so I don't see that it enhances my life.
I am CERTAIN you have something valuable to provide society. If nothing else, you would make a great partner for someone else who is a little off-normal. And it does enhance your life in that you can find beauty and humor in places others can't. That alone is a benefit I would like.
>Why was I given this strangeness if I have no way of using it??
You use it all the time. Certainly an artist or musician or actor whom others consider "wierd" would be appealing to you. In that way, your condition makes their work more appealing.
> Oh well, back to my wierd little world!!
It's not just yours! You have to share!
Take care, and don't let this control you or your life. It really is not important. ALL that matters is that you can get some happiness out of life.
Ted (quite wierd myself)
