seems rife in society here in the U.S., people clearing their throats unnecessarily, singing little fragments of songs (this seems to be a big thing with latinos),picking at scalps,not being able to look another person in the eye,talking to oneself (this is very common, i,ve observed ) lots of uneasy humans about

These people probably aren't talking to themselves, they're on their bluetooths and other cellphone earpieces. You're not supposed to be annoyed by that, you're supposed to think these people are cool and important. duh

Those who act eccentric are uneasy humans? Where is your mind?

from wikipedia:
Depictions of Eccentricity

Eccentricity is often associated with genius, giftedness, or creativity. The individual's eccentric behavior is perceived to be the outward expression of his or her unique intelligence or creative impulse[1].In this vein, the eccentric's habits are incomprehensible not because they are illogical or the result of madness, but because they stem from a mind so original that it cannot be conformed to societal norms. In this vein, Edith Sitwell wrote:

    Eccentricity is not, as some would believe, a form of madness. It is often a kind of innocent pride, and the man of genius and the aristocrat are frequently regarded as eccentrics because genius and aristocrat are entirely unafraid of and uninfluenced by the opinions and vagaries of the crowd.




you're just mad that you're not a genius.

that, or you just don't know what eccentric means.

I say eccentric for ftw, life would be boring if filled with nothing but stereotypical suburbanites.

Exactly. People these days are so scared of being branded a "wierdo" they don't exhibit the characteristics that make meeting new people fun. If everyone had the same "normal" characteristics life would be extremely boring. Who can honestly say they have never been at a party and the people around you are indulging in boring, mundane conversation and you happen to get chatting to a rather "excentric" character, who can honestly say that the person didn't brighten the mood and make you laugh no end?

Being 'weird' has worked for me. When I can pry the weirdness out and stop being a bitch worrying about peoples impressions.

Anxiety is natural to a certain extent, and if you see someone overly anxious about something, try talking to them instead of being pissed off at them, maybe that'll do some good.
