Does everyone look the same these days? Sometimes, being yourself is not enough, you need to be a little eccentric if you want to stand out. Always remember one thing before consulting this topic: You want to be eccentric, not crazy! That means you have to strike a balance between cute and quirky, not acting recklessly.
Steps
Eccentric action

Create your own places and customs. Create your own holiday and give it an eccentric name. When that day comes, celebrate. Talk about a place you’ve been to but no one knows about. Your holidays will be celebrated here and you can show your friends the timeless customs of this wondrous land if they so wish.
- Today, every passing day has meaning, but not everyone actually celebrates them. What will you do on National Pancake Day? Go for a walk, hand out flyers with pancakes, and tell everyone you’re trying to spread the word. However, pay attention to the day before Lent (Shrive Tuesday, also known as Pancake Day) is widely celebrated in the UK and Commonwealth countries. To get really eccentric, pick a holiday or anniversaries that aren’t popular anywhere.

Chat with any strangers you come across on the street and say cryptic words. Try saying “Hello Grandma! It seems like I haven’t seen her in years!” and of course grinning, or “Wow! How are you?” while they are still alive and well. Make sure you choose the right person who will laugh, not someone who thinks you’re crazy.
- Randomly ask someone if they’ve seen rhinos, elephants, etc. “around here”. Be serious when asking. Of course, after a few minutes of joking, admit that it was just a joke!
- Pretend you don’t know the common stuff. When your friends ask if you want a banana, say “What is a banana?”
- Of course, some people will think you’re acting crazy and think you’re annoying them. Choose your audience carefully and always act with a smile on your face to show them that you mean nothing.

Overreacting to little things. For example, if you see a rainbow spring, act as if it were a great discovery. If you act carelessly but don’t care, like forgetting to push your chair back into the table or creasing a piece of paper, act upset. How dare you do such horrible work? No one can tell if you’re taking things too seriously!
- If you see a friend who just stepped on an ant, say, “Oh my God! What did you just do?! Poor little ant, your life is so short! Rest in peace!” Then move on and have fun.
- Just act like that every now and then. If people can’t guess your expression, they may think you’ve lost your mind.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d5/Be-Weird-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Be-Weird-Step-4- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d5/Be-Weird-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Be- Weird-Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Create a different taste with the food. For example, say, “Unbelievable! Is this an Oreo? It’s spicy! I didn’t know they sold it here too!” or “This pickle is as sour as my brother’s wallpaper.”
- Try foods that most people don’t eat or foods that everyone eats but in a different way. For example, bring a lemon with you to lunch and eat it as if you were eating an orange, or place a slice of orange between two slices of sandwich bread to make an “orange sandwich.”
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/ce/Be-Weird-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Be-Weird-Step-5- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/ce/Be-Weird-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Be- Weird-Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Do something in your own style. You want to do something with your own identity. It should be a bit odd and no one you know can imitate. You can dance every step of the way while walking, make a noise after every sneeze, always wear a hat, or act afraid of clams. Be creative!
- It could also be the way you talk, the time you speak, or simply the way you smile. The simpler the action, the more it stands out.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/ef/Be-Weird-Step-6-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Be-Weird-Step-6- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/ef/Be-Weird-Step-6-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Be- Weird-Step-6-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Pick an odd hobby. You want to do something that no one else has done, like collect peanuts and turn them into sculptures, make piñatas, paint your nose, or write a satirical poem about Jackalopes. Who knows? If you are the only version, use it to make money!
- This odd hobby could be keeping pets like no other, like rock pets, ladder pets, pet sodas, or pet shoes. Take it with you everywhere and chat with it. Soon, you’ll be dubbed the “rock pet-keeper.” If one day you don’t bring it, people will surely ask you where it is!
- Make sure you have a few close friends who won’t run away because of your eccentricity.
Eccentric talk
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/74/Be-Weird-Step-7.jpg/v4-728px-Be-Weird-Step-7.jpg”,” bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/74/Be-Weird-Step-7.jpg/v4-728px-Be-Weird-Step-7.jpg”,”smallWidth” :460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Form new words. For example, other synonyms of Ninjas are ninjosity and ninjitude. Use these words often, as if they were common words. If someone tells you that the word is incorrect, tell them immediately what it means! Explain why cleverly.
- Can’t think of any good ideas? Take some of your favorite words and put them together. Is your favorite word bubble and flamingo? Put those two words together and you get Bubbingo. So, what can bubbingo mean?
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d1/Be-Weird-Step-8.jpg/v4-728px-Be-Weird-Step-8.jpg”,” bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d1/Be-Weird-Step-8.jpg/v4-728px-Be-Weird-Step-8.jpg”,”smallWidth” :460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Talk in a different voice. The first day imagine you are Irish, the second day you are French, and the next day you are Chinese. Why not? You can even invent your own voice if you want. Could it be the voice from a place in your imagination that you just set foot in?
- There are articles on the internet on the subject of gossip. It’s also about speaking in your own easy-to-learn language. If your friends want to learn it too, you can go “geeky” together!
- Arbitrarily press the voice up and down at different times. Whisper when it’s not necessary, sing along to the words, or tell the truth, really, slowly when the mood strikes. Be careful, though, this may upset some people!
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/63/Be-Weird-Step-9.jpg/v4-728px-Be-Weird-Step-9.jpg”,” bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/63/Be-Weird-Step-9.jpg/v4-728px-Be-Weird-Step-9.jpg”,”smallWidth” :460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Interrupt the conversation with irrelevant words. For best results, make sure this statement has nothing to do with the conversation. Is everyone talking about the new song on the radio? You cut in suddenly and say, “Oh my, those blueberries. They look really…”
- This is a great way to stop a conversation and start another. Does the current topic bore you? Say, “Are you guys talking about that TV show?” and your friends will be so distracted that they won’t be able to recall what they were thinking.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/4e/Be-Weird-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Be-Weird-Step-10- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/4e/Be-Weird-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Be- Weird-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Talk to yourself and talk to inanimate objects. Don’t act like this all the time (otherwise, you’ll look like a psycho) – only do it when people around you ignore you. That will definitely keep them focused on you!
- Nothing to say while chatting? Friends make you feel bored? Why not stir up the conversation with notebooks or food? You will quickly come to life for the party! Even though you are eccentric, you are still the center of the party.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/51/Be-Weird-Step-11-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Be-Weird-Step-11- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/51/Be-Weird-Step-11-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Be- Weird-Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Create nicknames for all your friends. Use a different nickname each day. Not necessarily a good nickname! Take advantage of their personality and appearance (without meaning, of course) and think of a nickname that suits them.
- Or try to see which nickname doesn’t suit them! Some nicknames are amusing because they are unrelated. One of the guys in the group is taller than you? Let’s call him “Short-legged” from today. Another girl who loves puppies? Let’s call her “cheese” – this nickname has nothing to do with it! Change the word in their name. For example: Thanh can turn into Than (wailing). Only do so with the consent of your friends.
- Bear in mind that this may not be the case in Australia, where redheads are often nicknamed ‘Bluey.’
Looks eccentric
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/ee/Be-Weird-Step-12-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Be-Weird-Step-12- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/ee/Be-Weird-Step-12-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Be- Weird-Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Wear clothes with contrasting colors, textures, and designs. Costumes are the main factor in going crazy! Combine contrasting colors or designs to create an outfit that can’t stand out. Remember to incorporate both eras, for example, clothes that are modern and classic. Make sure you don’t mind all eyes staring at you!
- Transform with fancy outfits, like fairy wings, witch hats, or vampire fangs. Halloween costumes are always a great idea, no matter what day of the year it is.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/18/Be-Weird-Step-13.jpg/v4-728px-Be-Weird-Step-13.jpg”,” bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/18/Be-Weird-Step-13.jpg/v4-728px-Be-Weird-Step-13.jpg”,”smallWidth” :460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Don’t wear what other people are wearing. If everyone wears tight jeans, wear ripped flared pants. If everyone wears a plaid outfit, try something with a rebellious design. Coordinate them together. Try going to thrift stores and find a unique new look. Being eccentric means owning your own style and making it stand out.
- To really be eccentric, that means wearing casual clothes. In general, you just focus on being eccentric and not stylish. Take inspiration from your parents’ wardrobe.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/2a/Be-Weird-Step-14.jpg/v4-728px-Be-Weird-Step-14.jpg”,” bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/2a/Be-Weird-Step-14.jpg/v4-728px-Be-Weird-Step-14.jpg”,”smallWidth” :460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Dress casually every once in a while. When the Halloween season comes, dress up as normal people wear. Also choose random days to dress casually. Otherwise, people will get used to what you’re going to wear.
- If you want to be eccentric, you have to be a little inconsistent. Sometimes casual dress will stand out to people making them curious when you are eccentric again. If your way of dressing is always eccentric, they’re probably used to it.
Eccentric thinking
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/ec/Be-Weird-Step-16-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Be-Weird-Step-16- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/ec/Be-Weird-Step-16-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Be- Weird-Step-16-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Don’t try to be someone you’re not. Nowadays, people are often trying to be someone. Just be yourself, you’re already a bit eccentric. There are very few copies that are exactly like you. Just accepting a few instinctive eccentricities is enough.
- Everything will be easier if you act as natural. If you’re acting weird, you’re just acting and it’s going to be hard to make everything look consistent. Moreover, this will make you frustrated about not being yourself anymore. You’ll have even more reasons to be yourself!
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/89/Be-Weird-Step-17-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Be-Weird-Step-17- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/89/Be-Weird-Step-17-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Be- Weird-Step-17-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Don’t care what others think. If you’re concerned about your image, being eccentric can be tough. You have to ignore what other people think of you and focus only on what you think is right for you. Your reputation doesn’t matter – from now on you’re eccentric.
- Whether you’re a geek or not, what other people think doesn’t matter. The important people don’t care who you are. So, why should others have a say in who you are or what you look like?
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/7c/Be-Weird-Step-18-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Be-Weird-Step-18- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/7c/Be-Weird-Step-18-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Be- Weird-Step-18-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Distant reputation. When you start acting strange, there will be rumors that you are a little different. People even got used to that. Maybe your actions are completely normal, but because it’s you, people will show excitement at the action. So make sure you want to be eccentric – because this can take a while!
- Furthermore, you may forget how to act normally again. Ultimately, habits create practice. If being eccentric doesn’t work for you, it will be difficult to go back to acting as normal as you once were. Therefore, be sure of everything before deciding to dive deep into being eccentric.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d7/Be-Weird-Step-15.jpg/v4-728px-Be-Weird-Step-15.jpg”,” bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d7/Be-Weird-Step-15.jpg/v4-728px-Be-Weird-Step-15.jpg”,”smallWidth” :460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Be a completely different person from time to time. Become a Nappeon king, president, princess, prince, elves, etc. Transform into them, from appearance to personality. Visit Halloween stores after Halloween to hunt for special discounts and design your own costumes.
- Try to think like them! For example, the elves will not know how to use a cell phone. When your phone rings, react like, “Ahhh! What kind of scary device is this! What do I do with it…hmm…Interesting.”
Advice
- Another way to stand out from the crowd is to dye your hair like no other.
- Learn a foreign language and start chatting or singing at random times when people are talking to you!
- If someone makes fun of you or says you’re eccentric in an offensive way, make them feel like they’ve just given you a great compliment!
- Practice trying not to laugh at yourself. You can practice with friends, parents, stuffed animals or even with rock pets!
- If someone is holding something like a shoe, walk up to them and say “You know, shoes are my favorite food. Do you mind if I…” then lean over and pretend like biting it.
- Always ask questions or search the internet for random ideas that pop into your head. You will have this collection of useful and eccentric information in mind.
- Be improvised whenever possible, the more improvised the better!
- It is not necessary to do all or any of this; and if you are seen as eccentric, take it as a compliment and accept the difference.
- Sometimes, you will look like a freak if you stop in the street just to stare at a random object like a fire hydrant. Then continue to act like that.
- If you live near trees, act like you’re scared. Whisper to the branch and break it.
Warning
- The recommendation does not apply to active people such as doctors, psychiatrists, people helping adults and children, teachers, etc.
- When you act normal, people still treat you like you’re a freak.
- Some of the steps in this reference make it sound like you’re acting out even in public – so you could end up in a mental institution. Mentality is different from eccentricity.
- Avoid letting yourself drool, because this sign is seen as scary.
- Remember, some jokes can be hurtful, so be careful not to offend others too much. What you say about someone should have limits. However, I still have to speak my mind (even though that person is hurt, I still can’t help but say my thoughts about that person), but I shouldn’t say it directly.
