3 more things to earn someone a weird label

Having an odd sense of humour

In some ways, people can't help but assume that your sense of humour reflects what you're like as a person. If you make a lot of strange or random jokes then people may assume your actual personality is like that. This one is very subjective as well. There's nothing wrong with making jokes that are really out there. Many people actually prefer that type of wit. I think what's important is to know your audience. Some people may not think anything of it when you show your random sense of humour. Other people may form the impression that you're a weird person overall, even if they laugh at some of the odd stuff you come up with( e.g. Samuel thinks that the particular name 'Helsinki' is very funny, so every time he hears the word, he'll burst into laughing).

Having truly odd beliefs

I already mentioned how it's fine if someone has views that are just different from the norm. This point is talking about on-the-face 'off' beliefs, the kind of thing that upon hearing you can't help but immediately dismiss. They're the kind of views that are formed when someone is too socially inexperienced or cut off from the world. It's hard to think up examples, but you tend to recognize these kinds of opinions when you hear them.

Acting hyper and childish

Some people can act pretty childish and hyper, especially when they're excited or simply joking around. They get carried away and go overboard with the silliness. The same people often come across as immature in general. A lot of people will label this kind of behavior as weird and see it as pretty off putting.
