people are like that

I hate it when people say things like "that guy is weird", "he's crazy", "I don't understand him" and such. People probably just say it because they're not like that; but it bothers me. As an example, some of my closest friends are spendthrifts (I belong to this category), while others are the frugal kind — folks from one category don't "understand" the other kind. There's probably this human urge to try and understand something you don't, well, understand — which is just fine — but don't try too hard.

At this point I'd have quoted that cliché about variety and life, but I'll pass. People are different, and that's one reason I love life.

At this point I'd say something about you not understanding people who say that, but I'll pass :-)

I do agree that variety is something to be celebrated, and the world would be a happier place if more people felt so.

Here's wishing you a happy 2008!

Ah... I think I'm one of those losers who don't understand people of the other kind too well! I've said things like that before but I really don't mean it though because I know people are different! ;)

Depending on who says it, it might just be because they don't know how to live like you and so they're not sure if you can even live. They might try to make you live like them just so that they know it's a 'safe' (for them) way to live. I'm not sure if this is anywhere close to the context, if I'm saying what I want to, or even if I'm making sense.

I just said it. Vanda.

Heh, just kidding.

Understanding is just yet another tool to get a handle on the world.

Of course, rationality doesn't mix well with emotions - emotional fulfillment is often completely irrational. And people who follow either path will find the other strange & weird.

And there's a point to give up on things, people & just walk away before it goes bad.

yes People are Like that,
and That is only the way you realise that you are Special
atleast unique.

Special / Unique for Good or Bad again is matter of perception.

I am sure, You are not alone in this world with this feeling!
Hope they understand "There Exists a Beautiful life on the other side of their perceptions!"
