Sometimes I wear my silk pyjamas when I am going for a walk in the mornings, does that make me eccentric? She was one of the wealthiest women in the world and certainly the most eccentric noble of her time. One of my most important mentors was a brilliant and eccentric rabbi from Bethesda, Maryland.

To his peers, he's an all-star eccentric who is pitied or clucked over protectively as often as he is envied. The women Peterson photographed were offbeat, eccentric , irreverent, and not conventionally pretty. Lorenzo Dow is still remembered by some of the "old fogies" as one of the most eccentric men that ever lived. From all the accounts that have come down to us, he seems to have been a man of irregular habits and eccentric genius.

He has no qualms about inventing his own game, if he doesnt like what others are doing, and his imagination is a rich landscape informed by what he is reading, drawing, and learning. I think more people have this inside them, but they have been bullied into conformity by family, schools, and peers that dont understand where they are coming from.

I have been called eccentric more than a handful times, and I never really thought much about it, until I did. Then I moved cross country, and felt painfully aware of how different other people seemed to think I was… mostly because I moved from a friendly place, to a more conformist place.

Suddenly, my friends were given me advice on what to wear apparently I like too many patterns and colours at one time , and am too animated, and other little things. One day, after a pretty awful day at work in my new city, I came home and cried for a long while. When listening to new music, I remembered that I wanted to learn more about Gerard de Nerval. I always liked people like Gerard de Nerval — people that would rescue lobsters and keep them as pets.

I have never done that, but I understand the attraction. I never thought of myself as creative, but then I always thought that creative meant…akin to Leonardo da Vinci. I have never created a flying machine, for example, but I understand the draw. Sometimes I try to blend in because my body reacts badly to gossip my hands start shaking. And maybe I have studied enough how people behave, because sometimes I find I cannot blend in at all.

At any rate, if I am an eccentric a term I never would have assigned to myself, but which is recently being assigned to me more frequently I would say that there is nothing wrong with eccentricity.

As much as I am able, I know a couple of things — such as the fact that I have a soft spot for animals and would adopt them all, and I care about people too, and have many interests in many different areas not just arts, not just sciences, but basically…everything interests me and sometimes this leads to fatigue.

When people gossip about others, my mouth goes cotton dry, and I start to become queasy and very upset. Few people bring the fullness of themselves to life, or are able to keep that fullness alive. You do, Kat. Reading what you wrote made something in me feel more whole.

People may not always understand you but simply being who you are is enough to wake a few others as you pass through their lives. Oh woww… this article really helps me to understand myself.

I wanted to change myself for others who were good to me. Because if i change i will become a complete robot. Thank u so much for this beautiful article. Thank you. This is strange. They were such unusual, amazing people who made a huge impression on my early adolescent self. I never knew Dennis well but Betty, like so many people in my life who have passed away, made a lasting impression on me.

I still avoid small talk about the weather! My father always said I was eccentric. I use to get angry at him when he would tell others. I laughed at her until yesterday when she pointed out my many contradictory behaviors.

I just had to read your article. Every one of them. My great friends take me as I am with great tolerance. I always knew I was different from everyone else. Called myself a Rebel! Had a great career doing what I loved. Many hobbies most of which I never finish because something else calls my interest. Started designing my own quilts when I retired. Finished a few early on. But the tops are more fun. Have so many unfinished. People laugh at me when I visualize fabric in a gray sky. Dress as a princess or a bum as the mood fits.

Never care what others think. It goes on and on and on. The entire list. I rather like myself! What a relief! I can finally stop looking! Thank you so much! Oh yeah, I am really interested in talking with some or ALL!

Please contact me! I never knew I was that eccentric. I am socially awkward and rather live in my head on my own or with other eccentric people and animals. Interests — more than I have the time for. I love people and if they like me, great! If not- their loss. I know what I know and wish other people would do too. I love learning from other eccentrics. Animals and spirituality, healing and helping are my big things.

I wantvto understand how the world works hence my interest in everything and nothing. My spelling is pretty good, all the other traits are more or less accurate.
