Answers:
Others may call you names and pick on you because of the way you react or respond!. If they see it gets to you, they may do it more because it gives THEM power and control!. Some people enjoy embarrassing or angering other people!. This puts them in charge, and boosts their own self-esteem because they've made someone else uncomfortable!. Strange, isn't it!? But unfortunately, that's how some kids and teens are!. Some immature grown-ups, too, for that matter!

Try not to let it bother you!.When they see it doesn't, they will leave you alone because there's "Nothing in it for them!. No pay off!." Just learn to shrug it off or walk away, or come up with some comment that says "I don't care!."

Your uncle calling you weird may have been his way of disagreeing with your point of view, or making an observation in reference to something about you he finds strange or unusual!. Depending on the circumstances, you could respond in a number of ways!. You could ignore it, or laugh it off with a shrug!. You could ask, "What do you mean!?" or "Why do you say that!?" and then try to justify your actions or your words or your ideas or whatever it is that he thought was weird!.

You can become a tougher person by feeling better about yourself and gaining more confidence!. Think about all your good qualities, and work on changing the ones that aren't so great!. Value yourself for the good, nice person you are, and others will do the same!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

ignore those people!. everyone calls me weird but i take it as a compliment!. i take it as "unique"!. who wants to be like everyone else!? some people find picking on others builds self esteem!. just stop caring!. you have youre friends!. they like you for who you are!. but considering hes FAMILY!. show him how it feels!. call him weird!. when he gets angry!. tell him!. thats exactly what you did to me!. youre family wouldnt care!. they love you and you shouldnt feel embarrassed cause it was wrong of him to say thatWww@Answer-Health@Com

You sound a lot like I used to!. I started to make remarks back like I might have said, " not quite as wierd as that sweater your wearing!" It catches them off guard because I never used to have comebacks and it makes light of the situation!.
P!.S!. weird is way cooler than "normal"Www@Answer-Health@Com

i work of the system of not having any self esteem it makes it very hard to offend or upset me!. just stop caring about others opinions and know how good you are!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Don't worry about what other people say and keep ignoring them!.Stay the way you are!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You're in mental health!.

Try to find out WHY he said that!. He may have just been making an observation, rather than pointing out a flaw!.

Also, don't take it to heart!. A workmate called me a bit weird the other day!. It stung for a day, then I thought, I guess some of the things I talk about can seem weird to others, so it's just a matter of perspective!.

You DO have a backbone!. It's just that you're a bit sensitive to criticism!. A lot of people are like that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
