It is hard to know what you mean by "weird." Styles and the attitudes of society change, and what was considered odd at one time can become commonplace. For example, American Buddhists were considered pretty strange fifty years ago, but now Buddhism is a major US religion.

The most important thing is to be true to yourself. However, it is possible to be so true to ourselves that we fail to integrate well with the interests of others -- especially when we are young.

We can begin to work on that by consciously paying attention to and learning about the things that interest our peers. We can take a look at how we dress, and slowly -- and I emphasize slowly -- become more mainstream. (We can do this while keeping our own "look," but without dressing in such a way that it labels us as really different.)

In short, we can become a bit more like others without giving up the things that make us unique and important in our own way. It's hard, especially if you're shy, and it's best to do a little bit at a time, see how things go, then move onward. Be prepared for some rejection -- perhaps even some ridicule. Other people are uncomfortable when their notions about someone have to change.

This writer knows exactly where you're coming from, because he had to do the same thing.

By stop doing stupid stuff or crazy stuff by being plain and boring.
