Eccentric - which one?

An eccentric person is someone who surprises other people with his strange, unpredictable behavior. He is a little eccentric, and some of his habits seem strange to others. To be accurately translated from Latin, this word means "deviating from the center."

How an eccentric person behaves

Let's clearly define what “an eccentric person” means and how a person who has such a quality behaves. In the circus, such is a clown. It is designed to make people laugh with its unusual behavior. He plays the role of that character who behaves stupidly and irrationally. Such a person is popularly called a "fool." We can say that an eccentric person is a marginal. His behavior borders on abnormal, and ordinary people very often can not understand the meaning of his actions and ideas about life. Do not confuse his behavior with demonstrative. The latter always involves admiration or increased attention. Demonstrative behavior is a common simulation of eccentricity. The eccentric behaves absolutely naturally, he does not notice his strange behavior. Its logic is different from the logic of ordinary people.

We managed to make sure that a person does not attach any eccentric significance to his behavior at all. He even adapts very well in society, and his eccentricities often help him in this. Such people look at creativity quite unusual. This helps to implement such projects that no one could have thought of before. In olden times it was believed that the eccentric is a holy fool. Such people brought divine truths to society. There are clinical manifestations of a similar phenomenon.

Their carriers are quiet, calm people who are not at all adapted to life. Often they are weird and out of season dressed. They always build castles in the air and often end up in psychiatric clinics.

The most eccentric personalities

Japanese politician Matayoshi Mitsuo is absolutely sure that he is God. In his political program, he clearly stated that he was the embodiment of Christ, but he should act only in accordance with the law. To begin with, he must become the Prime Minister of Japan, and then completely transform society.

Alfred Mehran is also quite eccentric. This is the man who lives at the airport. Once, documents were stolen from him. After an unsuccessful attempt to fly to Heathrow, he was brought back. He was settled in the transit zone, and later, even based on this event, the movie “Terminal” was shot. Now he lives in a waiting room. He has the opportunity to get out of there, but he does not want to.

Joshua Abraham Norton is one of the most famous residents of San Francisco. He himself proclaimed himself Protector of Mexico and Emperor of the United States. But they just laughed at him. He invented his own money and tried to pay it in stores. He was even allowed to do this. Many called him crazy, but still did not stop loving him. Thus, we see that the names of many eccentric people are recorded in history, whose character made them quite popular.
