Agree. If you've ever seen Curb your Enthusiasm Larry David demonstrates this perfectly. He just always pushes it too far. Being weird is actually totally acceptable if you are confident and respond to basic social cues.

Here's what the real Larry David says about the Larry David he plays on TV: TV Larry is blunt and brutally honest, thriving on confrontational situations, whereas the real Larry avoids them like the plague. He has said before he wishes he was like the character on screen. So, I ask, what stops him? “Somebody would beat me up every day. You can’t be that honest and function in society. These confrontations frighten me so I avoid them and save it up for the show. It’s a little bit of a fantasy.” http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/2/f9b4936c-7a53-11e1-9c77-00144feab49a.html#axzz1sy4pAOHm http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/2/f9b4936c-7a53-11e1-9c77-00144... Concerns for personal safety aside, whatever purposes such confrontations could serve, stimulation is not among them. Hostility and defensiveness are not educational for either party.
