I've always wondered about this, since people call me "odd", or weird. You know how there's a saying that says that everyone in the world in unique is their own way? Well, how can one be weird, if everyone is already unique? So, theoretically speaking, everyone in the world is weird, so everyone is normal, since society accepts that everyone is unique, but some still calls others weird.. neutral I've always questioned that logic, I question people who calls someone else weird. So if they call me weird, theoretically, aren't they refusing the norm of being unqiue? rofl

That is true, however, depending on the society you live in, there are 'norms'. Behavior that are socially acceptable and socially unacceptable.
And a person that dwells only within the 'norm' is dull. A person that ventures out a bit, is interesting and different.. some one who has too many 'special' qualities about them become weird. That is because they don't function well within the 'norms of society' since the rules don't apply to them, you can't be sure how they react when interacting with them... hence they are weird.
In addition, 'unique' implies a positive connotation, where as 'weird' suggest negative attributes

I don't call anyone weird, since I know I'm out of the ordinary myself.
