Don’t see how this is a disagreement. If you don’t accept and embrace your weirdness then you’re bad weird. Doesn’t mean you can’t change to good weird. “Accept and embrace” doesn’t mean shout it from the rooftops btw, just means you don’t try to stifle it.
I think I may have been reading too much into the word “bad” implying as if the person themself is bad since they still dislike being referred to as weird.
I think it can also depend on who calls you weird and why/how. I’ve received both the negative, “ew, you’re weird” reactions as well as positive ones. Like a friend calling me a “strange human being” in an endearing way; or another saying I’m 80/20 with my weirdness. With 80% being good weird and the remaining 20% just plain weird. I think being called weird in a positive way can help with embracing it.
When I was 12 or so and called weird it effected mv confidence. Now I love it. The trouble is there is the weird some people want to be, and their is the weirdo fucking no one wants to be.
