    I think I may have been reading too much into the word ā€œbadā€ 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, ā€œew, you’re weirdā€ reactions as well as positive ones. Like a friend calling me a ā€œstrange human beingā€ 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.
