The correct changing that you want would be:

" Homo sum; humani a me totum alienum puto. " = I am a human being; everything human is strange to me.

(TOTUM HUMANUM ALIENUM A ME PUTO would also be correct, but in formal Latin that other order is more classical = HUMANI A ME TOTUM... < direct object TOTUM put after indirect object A ME and also this being put after that genitive/possessive HUMANI = [TOTUM] " OF what is human " > humani a me totum..., and the characteristic given to the direct object, ALIENUM, thus neutral too, as not a verbal complemente in fact but connected to it, referring to the direct object, put by the end of the sentence, just before but close to the verb, PUTO = I judge / consider). In a direct order it would be " Sum homo; puto totum humani alienum a me = I am a human being; I consider everything [that is] of human (species?) [as] strange to me!!!

TOTUM is opposite to NIHIL, both neutral forms (from TOTUS, masculine, TOTA, feminine = every, all; NIHIL [also: NIL, or NIHILUM, far less used], just neutral = nothing).
I dare to stress that "omnis" would fit better. Remember "Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres"? Omnis, because it was not a unity but a variety.

I have one more variant of this proverb :

I am a human and nothing human is alien to me.

If you do it unknowingly (ex: talking to a friend and he goes to the bathroom), no it is not strange. If you do it knowingly, but simply don't want anyone to hear you, no it is not strange. If you do it knowingly and want them to hear, yes, I suppose that is strange.
