That's not what I meant. In your point of view, they're probably weird according to society's idea of normal. In their point of view, they might think you're weird for being so boring in their idea of normal.
Like, I know what you're talking about, but just because they take pride in being unique and foreign to most people doesn't mean they can't think of your lifestyle or way of dress weird or strange either because they might think expressing themselves through whatever they wear is normal (but not necessarily to society). They might take pride in being weird in society's eyes, but that style of living might seem normal to them because they're comfortable in that state.
People may tend to base their ideas on what is the norm to the majority, but there will always be a minority that think differently. And people who society deems 'odd or abnormal' might be that minority.
