Being “weird” in a community like SV really isn’t about behavior, it’s about attention. It’s about wonky/broken(?)/better(?) pattern-matching. What’s amazing is how easily we find each other, while e.g. the press can’t get past simple fashion or bad haircuts

It can be very bad for short-term mental health (especially wrt mood stability) & financial challenges compound that. But there is no viable replacement for social play, and weirdos have to have each other for that! The benefits compound pretty quickly & noticeably

I did that very thing years ago--moving to find my tribe. It helped a lot at the time, although life went a different direction for me, and the effects wear off.

My problem is that I'm, to use your term, a weirdo in two different ways that are largely disjoint from each other in normal society. The number of compatriots in that set intersection is unusually small, even among weirdos.
