What is your opinion about people who have a different lifestyle and/or thoughts from everyone else?

Provided that they don’t do anything harmful, what do you think of people who have a strange lifestyle and/or thoughts that make them seem eccentric (like they view the world differently and like things no one seems to like)? Who are they in your eyes? Weird? Interesting? Disgusting?

I think I have a different lifestyle and thoughts from many of my classmates. And sometimes I am considered “a jerk” by many.
