Nowadays, every day is something, but no one actually celebrates it. Is it National Pancake Day? Walk around handing out pictures of pancakes, telling everyone that you’re trying to spread the word about this hidden breakfast treat but do be aware Shrive Tuesday, or Pancake Day, is celebrated widely in the UK and other Common Wealth countries. To be truly weird, pick a holiday or commemorative day not widely known anywhere.
Ask random people if they’ve seen a rhino, and elephant, etc. , “anywhere around here. " Seem serious about it. But, of course, after a couple of minutes of pulling their leg, you may want to admit that it’s a joke! Pretend like you don’t know what some specific, common things are. When your friend asks you if you want a banana, say, “What’s a banana?” Of course, some people may think you’re certifiably crazy and may think you’re harassing them. Choose your targets carefully and always do things with a smile on your face, showing you mean no harm.
If you see your friend step on an ant, say, “Oh no! What have you done?! Oh, little ant, your life was so short! Rest in peace!” And then move on, happy as a clam. Only do this on occasion. Again, if people can’t predict your behavior, they’ll probably just think you’ve lost your marbles.
Try foods most people don’t eat or foods that people eat, but wouldn’t eat the way you’re eating. For example, bring a lemon to lunch and eat it like an orange, or put an orange in between two pieces of bread for an “orange sandwich. " Or make a sandwich with gummy worms and ketchup.
It could be how you say things, when you say things, or even just the way you laugh. The tinier the thing, the more it’ll stand out, too.
This hobby could be a strange pet, such as a pet rock, a pet ladder, a pet soda can, or a pet sneaker. Take it everywhere with you, and converse with it.

Make sure you have loyal friends who won’t ditch you for being weird.
Can’t come up with something? Take a couple of your favorite words and mash them together. Your favorite words are bubble and flamingo? Bubbingo, it is. Now what’s a bubbingo?
wikiHow has a great article on speaking gibberish. That’s a way of speaking your own language that is very easy to learn. If your friends learn it too, you could be “weird” together! Wildly fluctuate the tone and pitch of your voice at different times, too. Whisper when you don’t need to, sing your words, or talk very, very, very slowly whenever you feel like it. But be warned, this can really get on some people’s nerves!
This is a good way to stop a conversation and get another one started. The current topic boring you? Say, “Did you see that TV show?” and your friends might be too distracted to go back to what they were originally thinking about.
A lull in the conversation? Friends boring you? Why not strike up a conversation with your notebook or your food? You could be the life of the party in no time! Weird, but the life of the party nonetheless.
Or what doesn’t fit them! Some nicknames are funny because they are so unfitting. Have a friend who’s way taller than you? He’s “short stuff” for today. A friend who loves puppies? Call her “cheese puffs” – it doesn’t have to do with anything! Change the words in their name. For example: Paige can turn into Peige. Do this only if your friends are okay with it. Bear in mind that this may not work as well in Australia, where redheads are often nicknamed ‘Bluey. '
Dress up in unusual clothing, too, such as fairy wings, witches’ hats, or vampire teeth. Halloween costumes are always great, regardless of what day of the year it is.

Everything will come a lot easier if you do as you’re naturally inclined. If you fake being weird, you’re just putting on a show, and it’ll be hard to keep consistent. What’s more, it may bring you down not being you. All the more reason to be yourself!
Whether you’re an oddball or not, it shouldn’t matter what others think. Those who matter won’t mind who you are. Why should anyone else have any say in they you are or what you’re like?
What’s more, you may forget how to act normal. Habit makes practice, after all. If being weird doesn’t work for you, it could be difficult to go back to the way you used to be. So be sure before you take the dive into weirdness that you’re ready for the commitment.
Try to think like them too! An elf wouldn’t know what do with a cell phone, for example. When yours rings, you respond with, “Ahhh! What is this blasphemous contraption! How do I. . . hmm. . . interesting. "
