This is one of my favorite documentaries ever. I’m an eccentric person, and remember growing up wishing I could fit in. However I realized most people aren’t really happy following the script, and it’s so much more liberating being your authentic self. 😊

I totally understand and love these people ! When my home burned down, I did not have money to rebuild and had to live in a tent on the property. The neighbors, who knew me BEFORE the fire/tent, who were self-proclaimed "Good Christian People" treated me in a similar manner. Just like people did not understand multiple sclerosis (and falsely accused you of being drunk), my neighbors accused me of similar falsehoods. I am in very good company and love all of you in this video. There is a very special place in heaven for all of us !

[@numarkaz]

That has nothing to do with them being Christian or not. We can just call them bad people.

Hello! My name is Casey. I'm 27 years old, born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. I have a kitten, work in the entertainment industry, and am an Eccentric person. Many Eccentric people are also Autistic, and/or other physical and psychological challenges. I am included in two of those categories. Being a close friend of mine can be difficult for people, because I do struggle so much, but I'd happily try out being casual e-friends from a distance.

My daughter is a hospice nurse. One of her clients was being cared for by an older woman who changed her name to “Serpentfoot” because her family was embarrassed by her eccentric lifestyle and beliefs. She shut down a city council meeting by starting to remove her clothes when she didn’t get approved to say the opening prayer (her own religion) for the meeting. She was trying to make a point about separation of church and state. I was happy to congratulate her for putting up the good fight. A very interesting person.

[@ashleyw7868]

She sounds like a delightful woman! I can’t say I wouldn’t start cracking up if I saw a woman start removing her clothes, but I totally support her dedication to her beliefs! Your daughter sounds like a beautiful soul, as well 😊
