Original Advice

DONT: Label them weird to dodge your discomfort.

Stop Using "Weird" As Armor

Stop outsourcing your unease to the word "weird." You sling it like glitter to distract from the flinch under your ribs. Call it what it is: control, envy, arousal, boredom, threat. "Weird" is a fig leaf for your nerves. Drop it. Stare straight at the thing twisting you. Let your face heat. Let your pulse race. Name the sensation. Then decide, cleanly, what you actually want.

Labeling them "weird" keeps you on the throne and them in the stocks. It lets you police the scene without risking contact. It’s lazy power. Curiosity is risk. Precision is intimacy. You were built for both. When you say "weird," you slam the door on data your instincts crave. Choose specificity. Track details. Ask one real question. Find the motive. Then decide with your full sight.

Cosmic Context

You are fixed water: pressure, depth, x-ray sight. Mars and Pluto arm you to face what others skirt; reducing it to "weird" wastes your power.
