Strange people to hang out with.

[DragonFyre9]

There is this completely anti-social large guy name Elias at my school. He sneaks around the walls and ducks behind corners, every once in awhile he'll come out of nowhere and say something random and sneak off. Also he will laugh manically and hiss for seemingly no reason. I would really love to know how this guy thinks. So most people think this guy is creepy, but honestly I would totally hang out with this guy. I'm always trying to talk to him but he says something that doesn't make sense or he just walks away. He probably thinks I'm messing with him, but once one of my friends found out it was his birthday and he asks him if he wants some cake. So Elias yells out, "THE CAKE IS A LIE". I'm like holy shit this guy plays portal. (None of my friends know what portal is). So I try talking to this guy about valve games. This guy just won't talk to me though! Evey time I see him I try to talk to him, I hope that sometime I can get this guy to say something that makes sense to me.

So I was wondering what you guys think about this, and if there are any out of the ordinary people you would hang out with.

He sounds quite interesting , Have you taken a closer glance to how he acts maybe it'll show a few symptoms of why he acts a little different from everyone else.

[Guest8792]

Shout nonsense back to him and see if his head implodes.

I don't know I've asked teachers about him but they just think he's a weird kid.

He sounds like a dork.
He is probably big-headed (lolpun), and your classmates are too immature to realize that creepy isn't the misfit who thinks he's bein' a real funny joker by messing with everyone, it's the one whose strung out on cocaine and carries a knife.

[boloneyman]

There was a kid like that at my school too. Didn't talk much but when he did it was always something weird. Maybe it is autism or ADHD.

[selena18]

That's cool that you're trying to talk with him, he seems lonely. I try to do the same kind of thing I guess..

There's a guy in my first period that's very quiet and a lil weird. I try to smile at him, or make conversation when I can. We were in a group project together and I shared my Ipod with him. Idk, he's very shy and doesn't seem to have a lot of friends. It would be cool to be friends with him.

[ElectricMoose]

Go up to him...and tell him...

"I am a strawberry dipped in chocolate."

[Fendi]

Try to talk to him and make friends with him AS SOON AS YOU CAN. He seems like a potential threat that could snap at any moment. If that ever occurs and he decides to go on a columbine rampage, at least you're cool with him so you'll live.

That's possible but I just think this kid's mind is completely different then we can imagine. He has never done anything violent as far as I've seen. I once asked him if he played Left 4 Dead and he said something along the lines of, " they took my uncle because of the virus". I guess he was implying that his uncle is a zombie. I think this kid just needs a friend. Around where I live there are no outlets for letting your nerd out other than sitting in front a computer.

I WISH I WAS COOL ENOUGH TO HANG OUT WITH THE WEIRD KID

Luckily all the weird kids at my school are actually fairly popular. Go Loserville, California!

I wish I was too. This guy doesn't care what anyone thinks about him and he says what he wants when he wants. Compared to the boring people in my town this guy is so unique.

[PabMo]

Sounds like a serial killer. Give him a blanket.

[LynchedJohNNY]

I let my nerd out once in public... Now I'm on the sex offender registry.

He probably thinks youi're a boring idiot like everyone else. What makes you stand out enough from the crowd that he would want to talk to you? It seems you assume he should want to talk to you just because you're more socially accepted then him or w/e so he obviously needs a friend but he probably doesn't want to talk to you since you are more socially accepted and boring than him. Your brain simply sees the spectrum the wrong way, this guy is probably just too awesome to waste his time conversing with you. If you really want to try making friends with him... try figuring out some other way to communicate, copy what he does, play a hunting game, go into "spy mode" and catch him when he is doing his ducking around corners shit... pop up behind him and say random stuff. Shit... try even using your imagination to come up with something original and interesting, if you're interested in fringe "culture" start acting upon it... what's really stopping you?

So in your social perspective (which this guy obviously doesn't share) you find it pleasant to hang out with people similar to you. When you know this guy does not subscribe to the same social system and rules as you, why do you still portray your system's ideas onto him?

You expect him to want to hang out with people similar to him because that's what most people do.
But you find him interesting because he doesn't do what most people do.
And yet you still seem to expect him to want to do what most people do?

And you wonder why I think he would not want to hang out with you?

You say you live in a small town though, so I guess your small mind set can be somewhat accounted for... actually, really, that's no excuse... especially since you consider yourself to be similar to this fringe character, you should understand all the more since you live in a small town.

Unless... you're more like him than you appear except for the fact that where you caved into the social norms that people expect from you, he held his beliefs where you were too weak to do the same... Which really just means that you're less comfortable with yourself (maybe you don't even know who yourself is) and quicker to abandon your ideals, for acceptance by a group of people who you really don't truly identify with, than he is.

[DragonFyre9]

Well I tried talking to him several time today with little response. I really think I could get along with him though.

[Slain]

There's a kid in my school that feels it's necessary to run as fast as he can between classes.

He took a dive into the water fountain earlier this year.

I give him high-fives occasionally.

In my last school year my friends have been a ;

- lesbian,
- guy who is a compulsive lyer and insomniac who has very gay tendoncies and says he fancies the lesbian and is slowly turning emo,
- a gay who hasn't told anyone but one girl who told everyone else and still denise that he is,
- lesbians girlfriend,
- a ginger :D

and a seemingly normal group of about 10others.

[MonkeyV]

I hang out with people that others don't usually make friends with by default.
Good luck with getting to know him. Should be a fun experience.

No one emo, 2 lesbians, a gay and 2 gingers. sounds like an odd bunch to me, if you met them you would understand. Also a ginger and the emo hate each other a lot.

Compared to the guy I'm talking about hey are boring. Well they are probably boring anyway.

[JKMonkey]

yeah there's abnormal people who I hang out with, theyre called "my friends"

[MemoryCard]

I used to be a lot like the kid in your post. People used to talk to me just because it was 'funny' to talk to the weird kid and it made me pretty defensive about who I talk to. You get a little enjoyment from saying random shit to people and seeing them "wtf" though.

But yeah, he probably doesn't want to talk to you if you think you're such buddies even though you've never really spoke. You're a very fake bastard.

I never said that we are "buddies". What I'm saying is I want to hang out with this guy because no one else has anything in common with him at all. Playing some video games with him would definitely be fun.

[Zeppelyn]

I know a guy who's like the guy you just said, but not as strange and has freinds. He does say very random/weird things at random times.. Like in the middle of one class out of the blue he said he wanted to blow up south America, have it (somehow) sink in the ocean, and build a metal continent in place of it. He's also a WoW nerd.
