Characteristics of Eccentrics

 

Psychologist Dr. David Weeks mentions people with a mental illness "suffer" from their behavior while eccentrics are quite happy. He even states eccentrics are less prone to mental illness than everyone else.

 

According to studies, there are distinctive characteristics that differentiate a healthy eccentric person from a regular person or someone who has a mental illness (although some may not always apply). The first five are in most people regarded as eccentric:

 

* Nonconforming attitude

* Idealistic

* Intense curiosity

* Happy obsession with a hobby or hobbies

* Knew very early in his or her childhood they were different from others

* Highly intelligent .........................( I'M GOING WITH THIS ONE !!!)

* Opinionated and outspoken

* Unusual living or eating habits

* Not interested in the opinions or company of others

* Mischievous sense of humor

* Usually male, the eldest, youngest or an only child

 

I'm going with #6 in the selfie above. I always thought that people with big heads were intelligent .
