So, this one's fairly short, but today in class I was talking to this girl in my normal, awesome way, and she found it amusing and exciting and all that. But a while later, she comes and starts talking again, but this time she says "You're weird". Which wasn't surprising because literally everyone in my class has told me that. The weird part was that she said "You need help, I'm actually concerned for your [mental state]". Which really put me off balance because that was a but strange, but I dunno. She was insinuating that I was retarded or mentally challenged, methinks.
Anyway, I've dealt with a lot of weird shit before, but usually, people just say "you're weird", end of discussion, yet she felt the need to imply more.
Of course, this is not a rant, I'm not mad about it, I'm actually upset. Awesomeness at an all time low.
So, my question to you isn't "Am I weird", but, have you ever gone to a cheerful, fun to listen-to person, and one who has a much larger understanding of the language in which you converse, and tell them that they were weird?
No, I don't talk about profane topics or mundane activities. Anyone who chats with me on a regular basis know that I have a good sense of humor and can be quite the conversationalist.
Also, just putting it out there, do you think there's a certain aspect of me that needs to be changed, must I be serious all the time? Must I stop being so 'unique' and stop "trying to be too much of it"?

No and No.
She's just a know-nothing bitch who thinks she knows you better than you do.
I say be even weirder just to piss her off. Or say something like "well sure, just don't recommend me to whoever you went to - it obviously didn't work". Or something like that. She'll probably give you a flat "wut" because she'll have totally missed it but hey, at least you'll know you totally pwned her.
Point is just because people say you're weird and need mental help doesn't make it so. I've been getting told that almost everyday of my life. But those people didn't like me so it's natural that they would want to hurt my feelings. People are bastards. So put superglue in their seats.

Actually, I am quite the rebel, she also mentioned she was afraid of homosexuals, and I convinced her for the briefest amount of time that I was one. But like I said, it wasn't what she said, but rather, the way she said it.

Don't worry, I totally had her at a weird expression with some pretty awesome comebacks. Of course, she thought I was being insane, because she didn't understand them. FAIL much? XD

Yeah, but when every single person says it and stands by it, it kinda makes me re-consider thins. Of course, I'm smart enough to not let people get to me, and these are people I'd leave in the dust given the opportunity, but it's depressing when everyone IRL thinks you should just go and die.

It's pretty much out there that they don't like me. I just keep thinking 'em fools are a bit too jealous. Moments like this are when you're glad looks don't kill.
Seriously, don't let her effect you. You're an incredible guy and you always make people laugh. Especially irl cause just on the podcasts I'm like bloody losing it to your jokes
From joy to sorrow, yesterday to tomorrow, you've been there. Friends like you are rare, your touch is so gentle,
You're my guardian angel.
Like a blossoming flower spreading your wings in grace, filling my heart with power
by feeling your embrace.
Wherever the wind may blow, we will overcome this war, in times happy or sore, I will never let you go.

I already explained how much I loved you loving me XD
But, thanks Again. This stuff is what keeps me sane. Or Insane. Depending on who's reading this
Doniv, I don't know you well enough to answer that last bit there about the accuracy of this girl's observations, but I think you're concerned enough to ask us says something.
It's easy to dismiss the opinions of others, especially if they're unflattering or unexpected. And sometimes, that's the right thing to do, especially if it's a one off comment, one you haven't heard before or it's from someone with no credibility to pass such judgment.
However, by your own admission, you're somehow seen by a lot of people as 'Weird' (whatever that means). So, there's some consistency here, many are experiencing you in a way that is..at the very least..'different' in a not so good a way. She's just taking it a step further (and being a bit more direct and extreme) in her description...AND she really wants you to know that, too. For her, whatever you're doing that's 'Weird' (whatever that means) is extreme (or extremely disturbing) enough to her that she wants you to know this, that your 'Weirdness' (again, whatever that means) is clearly extreme.
Being seen as 'Weird' isn't such a good thing. Being told that you need help is especially not a good thing, it's clearly getting in the way. Personally, I think it merits a follow up convo, one where you can ask her why she said that, what exactly she sees you doing that makes her feel that way..and respond to it by maybe addressing the 'Weirdness' a bit within yourself. It sounds like you might need to control it a bit more.

I've actually asked around quite a bit. A lot of people think I'm weird, but some of them think of it as a good weird. Then there are haters. You win some, you lose some.
Funny thing is, she actually said she enjoyed conversing with me, like I said in the OP. Yet, she felt the need to point out that she's concerned. However, I don't give any importance to her words as she barely knows me, and well, it's her friend who convinced her that I'm a bad guy. 'Cuase this girl was apparently liking me. Yeah, big story behind it all, but it's all somewhat settled. I've got to inquire upon the context of her phrase now.

In any case, I may've changed because of that whole incident. Well, not just that, actually, that doesn't bother me anymore. But other scenarios have popped up, and well blah.
This is quite pathetic. I need to get away from these people before they turn me into a black Hole. Or worse, a pedo-terrorist (Podcast reference much? XD).
