That is what you love about me so much.Ha! Knew it!

I guess that makes me even more odd....
Because @Mataresa finds you odd, as well, and when he's odd and finds you odd ... Well, who says I'm not the odd one here? Like the ultimatively odd one, believing all other people in here are odd, but not as odd as I am?
That's some odd philosophy. :hai:
In all seriousness though, I find it difficult to stop self-deprecating myself (blame it on my school years) and I'm just terrible at socializing. You guys just seem a lot better at this than I am.

Hey, that's self-deprecation!
I'm not as good at it as you might think ... but I guess I'm doing quite a good job in hiding it. Somehow.
And - you're a good guy. People having trouble with socializing mostly have reasons for that, and from my experience it is often because some other people just thought they can blame it on the one who doesn't fight back, because he's a good guy. Don't know what happened to you during your school time, but that's what happened to a close friend during my school time, and people expected me to join them. Well, this close friend is still a close friend. And I had some time enjoying being the odd one out, until I decided to get some interesting position with spending some time abroad (makes you somehow more interesting. And untouchable.).
@Alan989 Well I am quite good at that as well. I used to be even more so. Trying to be more positive now, but sometimes it is hard not to say when you think something negative about yourself.Hey, that's self-deprecation!

Too bad. :/Don't think you got me there ...

I usually don't have problems talking to people, but I often notice I am not on par with "normal" people. We get along, but I often feel left out. I don't drink and don't really party, so especially at the end of school I was often left out. But luckily there are enough nerdy people around either at uni or here, so it is easier. But I can't help it but still be who I am and like who I am, even if I am not always happy.
And if I am making fun and being weird and sometimes overdoing it a bit, it is because I enjoy it. I don't take myself too seriously and I like weirding people out from time to time. All of us are complicated multifaceted people and that makes it interesting.
@Alan989 No need to put yourself down. At least us here like you the way you are and treasure your company. (Btw do you speak Gaelic? ^^)
Let's all be odd together. Odd and odd makes even.
:cheers:

Also I would probably like all of you half as much if it weren't for your quirks and edges. Normal people are not nearly as interesting. /
Yes, I knew that. It is similar to my home language, but not even in official documents or road signs. I was just hoping, cause I like the sound of it very much.Oh, and no I can't speak a word of any Gaelic language, everyone over here speaks English because it's handier. The only time the old languages are used is in official documents and on road signs near the border with the South. It's practically a dead language.

I am, but you know there are other dialects as well. (Some even so different that they are nearly another language.) Platt/ low German is quite different from high German.Wait, so you're not German in origin?
@Kinley In what way?
