I really enjoyed this post. I always respect people who go beyond appropriateness and really speak their minds.

I will answer your question number 2. I don’t know if it’s an eccenticity as such but it is sometimes viewed as one. I’m insanely curious about everyone, and when I meet people for the first time, really, it’s like I want to take people by the shoulders and say “cut the crap, tell me all about you!” But giving people a Spanish Inquisition isn’t very socially acceptable (And neither is staring at people on the train.)

But I guess the curiosity is what serves me well in the career of intuitive because it motivates me to get under the surface and read people.

I didn’t? Well, I do!

I have a friend who enjoys spending time with me because I can be serious one moment and then burst into song immediately the next.

When I was in hypnotherapy school, I used to make people laugh all the time because I would express my thoughts out loud instead of just thinking them.

Of course, in hypnotherapy school, everyone would seemed to delight in me. I had one woman tell me that her eldest daughter was like me; she called her daughter a “kick in the pants.”

Oddly enough, she was one of the few people who “saw” me. She knew I had no interest in changing myself to suit anyone else. I guess I broadcast that message vibrationally without being aware of it. I’m glad she saw that and appreciated it.

I look forward to being part of a community of people who celebrate their strangeness.

I talk to myself out loud as well. Also talk to objects, animals, etc. And I keep a running stream of consciousness dialogue out loud about whatever I am thinking/feeling at the moment. I burst into song in public places for no reason. Refer to strangers and friends alike as Sweetpea. Don’t give a toss about trying to fit in with people who obviously don’t like me. And I speak my mind whether or not my point of view is popular. Second to lastly, I dance in the middle of the pavement if music is playing and I like the song (always in public).

Oh, I put my needs first, and follow my spirit. Even if my spirit leads me to do things that appear crazy to everyone else around me. When it comes to following my spirit, the quote below says it well:

“If, at first, an idea doesn’t seem crazy,
then there is no hope for it.”

I probably have dozens more, but here’s the short list.

None of these suggestions were very specific. Nor did they prove to be particularly helpful for me in the short and long term.

However, I felt I had to listen to others and implement their suggestions because there was something wrong with me. Maybe they knew how to fix me! I wanted to be open-minded!

Now I know that there’s nothing wrong with me. I don’t need fixing! And none of those suggestions would have worked for me anyway if there were something wrong with me.

Now I wonder why I wasted so much time?!

Oh well…

So I have continued on usually being different and loving it.

I used to paint fabris and makes clothes for men and woman who liked to stand out from the crowd.
