The singer Carrie Underwood must have a low tolerance for weirdness. She says that she wouldn’t want to have her own perfume because it would weird her out. She wouldn’t want other people smelling like her. That’s a pretty unusual thing to feel weirded out by. But maybe Carrie Underwood has a particularly special smell!
Someone looking at you in an odd way, strange noises, or a comment that you don’t know how to interpret, are all examples of things that might weird you out. Something that weirds you out doesn’t have to be scary or upsetting. It just makes you feel a little uncomfortable. It’s something that seems weird, or bizarre, to you.

Weird someone out is like freak someone out, but not as strong. If something really weirds you out, you might also say it freaks you out. But people who are weirded out by lots of little things are a little weird themselves. Don’t be a weirdo!

Mnal…  getting back to your first post. It has happened to me many times, some people are in the habbit  of putting labels  on others without  solid reasons  and it is useless to try  to convince them that they are wrong  ,most of the times  i answer back.. You may be right .. end of the story . and I forget about  this clueless  person.

Sometimes I wear a new clothes—like a different style skirt, to have meeting with colleagues, some girls will discuss it sometimes-make me uncomfortable. That’s kind of wired me out.- that’s why I just stay as common, so common. Boz i don’t want to be discussed~...
