The Cog is Dead: WEIRD [Official Music Video] 

And now you are both ridiculing each other instead of realizing that both ways of being are valid and working to accommodate each other. Good going.

100% Agree

I also relate to this due to my autism as well!!

I have autism and adhd I relate a lot to the song too!

The line "And to my amazement I found others who were just as strange as me!" Hits me the most.

amen to that. lets saddle up our steam engines and find a nice spot to listen to this song together.

Same here.

Все в порядке, я могу использовать Google для перевода. Большое спасибо! Я так рада, что тебе нравится звучание песни.

I was made fun of so much in first grade that my parents took me out of school and homeschooled me for the rest of the year. Thankfully in 2nd grade I was enrolled in the gifted program and became lifelong friends with another kid in my class. But those first few years had some rough times.

BILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

@@thecogisdead I can kind of relate. I did spend a year in a gifted program and probably would have benefited from the social awareness I was thinking about things in depth more than my peers. I still think fondly on a book group for gifted children I got to participate in. Trying to believe that adults and others use sloppy wording or thinking is very hard for me to internalize so I can relate to being "weird".

Hi fellow homeschool kid! 👋👋

Me too. I was homeschooled throughout elementary due to overly helpful (read: overprotective and stifling) teacher behaviors in kindergarten due to my poor vision (at that time, considered "legally blind", the distinction "low vision" which I truly am did not exist yet), I learned quite rapidly in that time, so by the time my parents considered enrolling me in middle school to help me improve my social skills, said skills were shot, almost none of the other kids could relate to me (the only friends I had were fellow outcasts), school both bored and overworked me, and because of what kind it was, the school was a massive clique anyway so I might not have fit in even if I was entirely normal by their standards. Left when my last major friend there ditched me to try and be less of an outcast. From what I've been told, no surprise at all, they all turned on her the second I left. She still feels bad about it to this day but I never blamed her for doing the logical although unfortunate thing. We lost contact after that, we've been back for a couple years now, that it's own story but we're pretty close now and it's nice. Anyway, I actually ended up learning most of my social skills online and went back to homeschooling for high school. All of this has led to me not really caring whatsoever about being normal, I never have been so who cares. So I am very, very weird now. Makes it difficult to find my people but when I do we forge a bond that pretty much can never break. Diamonds in the rough. Sorry about the wall of text haha. Hopefully my experience has helped someone feel more understood.

YES! Be as weird as you can be! 😁

Haha, finally unleashed all that pent-up rage! 🤣

❤️❤️❤️

Thanks! I prefer to write originals, but haven't had as much time to write since I've been so busy. The covers are a great way to stay productive and sharp even when I don't have the time to write.

Thanks, though you deserve happiness as well! No one deserves to be mocked and beaten for not fitting in.

@@thecogisdead Thank you for the kind words, and for the fantastically entertaining music!

That's great, so glad to hear you're improving at facing your struggles! It's a challenge at times but it's well worth the effort. Glad to hear you appreciate the song!
