"My
Awkward
and
Bizarre
Self-Deprecating
Nickname" I
have
always
felt
like
a
bit
of
an
oddball,
and
nothing
solidifies
that
feeling
more
than
my
choice
of
online
monikers.
On
various
social
media
platforms,
you
might
stumble
across
a
username
such
as
"StrangeCornMuffin"
or
"WeirdTurtleSoup"
-
and
no,
I
am
not
a
fan
of
corn
muffins
or
turtle
soup.
Instead,
those
names
were
born
out
of
my
habit
of
using
humor
as
a
way
to
cope
with
my
insecurities. Growing
up,
I
never
quite
fit
in
with
my
peers.
I
was
never
quite
cool
enough,
never
quite
popular
enough,
and
never
quite
confident
enough.
Instead
of
trying
to
blend
in,
I
embraced
my
quirks
and
embraced
the
power
of
humor.
I
would
crack
jokes
at
my
own
expense,
always
ready
to
laugh
before
anyone
else
could,
hoping
it
would
lessen
the
sting
of
feeling
like
an
outsider. As
I
got
older,
and
especially
as
I
dove
deeper
into
the
world
of
online
interactions,
I
found
that
my
self-deprecating
humor
became
a
kind
of
armor.
No
matter
how
awkward
or
embarrassing
a
situation
might
be,
I
could
turn
it
around
and
make
it
into
a
joke.
And,
even
if
nobody
else
was
laughing,
I
could
at
least
laugh
at
myself. Of
course,
there
are
times
when
my
oddball
tendencies
get
the
best
of
me.
Sometimes,
I'll
look
back
at
a
username
I
thought
wa「研习更多 婚姻生肖配对文章请关注 :生肖号,wwW.ShengXiaoHao.cC］】s
hilarious
and
cringe
at
how
ridiculous
it
seems
now.
Other
times,
I'll
find
myself
in
a
more
serious
setting,
and
I'll
worry
that
my
penchant
for
jokes
might
make
others
perceive
me
as
naive
or
unprofessional. But,
in
the
end,
I
have
no
regrets
about
the
bizarre
and
awkward
usernames
that
have
followed
me
throughout
various
online
communities.
They
remind
me
that
it's
okay
to
be
different,
it's
okay
to
embrace
my
quirks,
and
it's
okay
to
make
light
of
my
mistakes
and
my
flaws.
And
who
knows
-
maybe
one
day,
I'll
change
my
username
to
something
a
little
less
strange.
But
probably
not.
