My husband has been saying this to me lately. He thinks I have weird views of the world and about stuff.
Anything specific?
Today we had an argument about what I wear and I have a coat he doesn't like because the sleeve is ripping. I have some clothes he thinks are ratty looking and he said the way I dress makes people perceive me differently. They'd think I'm poor and I said so what because they don't know me and he said it's how people treat me based on how they perceive me. I asked him how do they treat me? Bad? and he said no. I don't really care what people think because they don't know me so I wouldn't care if they thought I was poor and besides how would he know what they think? He can't even read their minds. If I walked into a Gamestop and bought a game wearing that coat, they wouldn't even care because just as long as I have the money, they don't care. They're not going to tell me if I am sure I can afford the game and it be my own problem if I couldn't pay all my bills because I bought a game instead. All they care about is making money so they're not going to care what I have on, just as long as I have the money to buy the game, it doesn't matter. He said I have strange views on stuff.
I don't see how that is strange? Because I don't care how people perceive me based on what I wear? It's not going to even stop cashiers from selling me something and I have a job already so it doesn't matter what I have on.
that's not strange. it's unsuperficial.
thinking you can heal a wart by rubbing a potato on it
and then burying the potato is strange. (i overheard that one today)

Apparently, it's very maladaptive to have strong views and to feel disgusted at the injustice and violence in the world.
that's not maladaptive. it's sane.
