There is a special place called loneliness that is the destination of all truly weird people. Those that are authentically weird would find themselves at an advantage to avoid expressing their weird nature, but it is all too tempting to just be weird. Young weird people do not believe this true because they are the center of attention, but as age creeps in, the positive effect on others wears off and cute and cool becomes conspicuous and creepy. By the time most weird people realize this, it is too late and their fate is already laid before them.
Weird people are not social, but can be great actors! This is how they can succeed in the world of people to which they cannot relate. Fake it 'till you make it, as they say. Well, weird people have to fake it until the end. Or they can stop and live their authentic weird selves and brace for the social consequences. This can be both liberating and debilitating at the same time. On one hand you finally feel freedom of expression which has been for a life-time suppressed in order to integrate with society, but on the other hand, the weird one is ostracized. This leads to seclusion as the weird one withdrawals from society.
There are other weird people out there too that will become your friends, but as age creeps in, people find their little holes. Normal people have families and friends, but weird people generally do not and even if they do, there is little to no communication. It seems there are only so many holes and the ones who are left without one are utterly lonely forever seeking a resting place. Like dying of dehydration in the middle of the ocean, the weird one cannot at this point reintegrate into society and soon begins the downward spiral that consumes the weird one with depression. This is not an issue when the weird one is young because lots of young people act weird, even if they are totally normal, so it is easy to make friends and integrate for the truly weird individual. However the truly weird ones persist beyond adolescence. Slowly, normal people disappear and soon the weird one talks to no one.
Being weird is not easy; so be nice to weird people. Their inner struggle is one you will never know. They cannot stop being weird any more than you can stop being you.
