I don't know if others can relate to this.
Many times growing up and even as an adult I have been told I was different or even strange.
A few examples:
As part of a course I was doing we had to give presentations and get feedback. I remember being told by the tutor that my voice was very different. He even played my voice back to listen to and all the students laughed. I was very conscious of my voice after that.
In house share situations someone in the house would tell me I'm strange. When I asked why I got no explanation. Possibly they meant my lifestyle. I didn't socialise. Didn't drink. Stayed in my room a lot. Meditated. I don't know.
Also told I was different in work situations. It was not clear to what exactly they meant. Could be that I was quiet, very focused on the job, didn't get into gossip. I'm not sure.
I was doing some art classes. We were drawing each others faces and the teacher told the classes I had different facial features. It was not nice to be stared at.
I have a relative who announced recently that I was odd, in front of other people. I didn't even bother asking what she meant. I
I found all this upsetting and confusing when I younger, now it doesn't bother me so much, thankfully.
