Pros and cons of being friends with weird people VS. Normal people:
Normal people will have your back. They can be boring, though. Mostly straight, cis, neurotypical, beige parent, Praise (American) Jesus, plain people.
Weird people will also have your back. Way more interesting and fun to be around. Niche interests are common. Possibly neurodivergent, queer, or both. High chance of being alternative.
