In the eyes of the world are you an outcast or a normie?

[Ambivalent1]

I don't think anyone knows me well enough or cares to to guess, but I would assume people think im like them.

 

[parader]

more of a normie?
i put great effort into keeping up appearances and a steady discreet social life, but my mental health is so crippling that it doesn't always work
so i guess a weird normie

 

[Sprite_Geist]

Probably somewhere in between. The reason for thinking this, is because for the majority of my life I have never really found a group or clique that I have had a positive relationship with; in some instances this was because I chose not to "fit in" due to not agreeing with whatever the group believed in, and in other instances it was due to the group rejecting me first, or even bullying me, for not being like them - i.e.: dressing different or being quiet. However I have met many individuals that have took a liking to me, sometimes even a strong liking, even if we do not (or did not) have matching personalities, beliefs and et cetera; it is often times (though not always) individuals who are not overly tribal, and do not have strong requirements that tend to have a positive opinion of me.

I have a weird relationship with other people. I am a reject and disliked among a lot of people - mainly groups - while simultaneously well-liked by quite a few other people who have met me, and decided for whatever reason that they think I am "good".

...A "normie"? An outlier? Maybe both. It is confusing.

Outcast because I'm always by myself.

I am an outcast. I got severely bullied at school yet nobody cared. I learned at a young age that I'm unwanted. I don't mind being seen as an outcast, though. It's better alone and safe.

 

[TheNihilisticViking]

Somewhere inbetween both of them because I got relentlessly/intensely bullied at school and I'm usually quite introverted, but can -only- be somewhat extroverted around people I know or around very small groups of people that I don't really know (for example in education settings, etc.).

Outcast from childhood until my mid 20s when finally learned some social skills. I'm still seen as the hippie/odd person in a group I guess but I've moved on a lot since my loner days.

 

[JustABug]

I'm a Normie definitely. I'm silent and don't contribute much, I wouldn't class that as being an outcast, just a normal person.

 

[Square251]

Definitely an outcast and at this point, I just roll with it. If people like me they'll stick around, if they don't, they're too normal and honestly feel more like NPCs .

 

[outatime_85]

I think, based on the following, I would be classified as an outcast.

1: I have zero social skills.
2: I have zero relationships with anyone, so I have no social life of any kind.
3: I was violently bullied in my youth.
4: I am isolated and rejected.
5: My mental health is deteriorating at an exponential rate.
6: My happiness is a mask.
7: I have no ability to be outgoing or vulnerable.

 

[Forever Sleep]

Depends who's judging I suppose. Sometimes people will say stuff to me that suggests that they think I'm a lot more normal than I actually am! Lol. But then- it wouldn't surprise me at all if people think I'm weird. I've always been quite a loner.

 

[wristcutangel]

outcast, probably.
