About This Quote

The person who says “he was weird” is someone who does not like the way the person they are talking about acts. They may even think it is strange. They may even think that the person is strange and that he or she does not like anyone. However, that person is not as strange as they seem.

The fact that they do not like the way the person they are talking about acts is actually a good thing. It means that those who do not like those actions do not need those actions to be a part of their lives. That is a good thing because they can avoid those actions altogether and only enjoy the things in life that bring them joy.
