    If it wasn't for Tim Burton, I would've given up on myself. I've never fitted in and have always struggled making friends. But Tim Burton taught me to embrace that and use it to my advantage by being creative. I wouldn't be the person I am today without him.

    • @worldaviation4k

      I hope it's got better for you. I used to be shy at school and only had around 2-3 friends. It makes me cherish friendship more that way. After high school it was new friends again unfortunately as they faded away one getting into drugs and things. My Shyness became the opposite when i went to asia and talked so much because they are so friendly over there like noone judging.
      However I did then meet a live streamer from the USA in Japan and recently wrecked my head when they called me a weirdo afterwards. The only things that i feel i did was either my high pitched voice, me just barging in and saying something which would have only made sense if i was typing it in their chat room (i.e I didn't say hello nice to meet you but just carried on the conversation, it was about helping him find his other streamer friend) Or it was just my talking a lot or my sounding negative when i said i escaped the other streamer because they were nervous. But it got me thinking about what i did wrong. They mentioned their other friend was low key unlike me so maybe it was that i was rude but why use the word weird? I don't undestand that.
      I think the word shouldn't be used at all, if they said i was just rude by not saying hello or i was loud then i can learn from that but now i feel confused.

    i thank this guy for giving me a sense of art when i felt isolated in middle and high school. i thank this guy for living on the times of old horror movies and film styles that would've otherwise been lost to new generations. i love him, and am thankful for his imaginative innovations to describing human emotions and senses of self that would not be conveyed so artistically and simply. he really reached out to me, and if you think he's a freak, then that's exactly the right idea. open your mind and hearts to what may not be reality to YOU, but for others, and you expand your world. thank you tim, your love of filming and art changed my life.

    Okay. Now I'm kinda glad I wasn't in high school with Tim. Him having a friend might have changed something and he's just so awesome the way he turned out. I would have been good friends with him since I'm REALLY quirky and weird myself (I've got autism and a lot of weird quirks, anxieties and fixations), but given the choice between going back in time to be his high school friend and only having maybe 1 chance to meet him the way he is now, I'd pick the second choice.

    I'm Goth and a metalhead. I love Goth Rock, Deathrock, Coldwave, and Metal Music, and more.. I've been like this for 14 years. I'm weird to others, but I feel normal being myself. Even if that means I'm alone for the rest of my life or people roll their eyes or get upset when they see me. Nothing I can do for haters.. and nothing they can do for me.
    Great video. Edward Scissorhands will always be a masterpiece, and the fact that Ice Nine Kills, and Motionless In White made their own version of a Edward Scissorhands song makes it cooler to.

    People have always told me that I'm weird or unusual for how I am and what I like, and so I thought that something was wrong with me, and I was embarrassed of who I am. But then seeing people like Tim Burton has inspired me to embrace my weirdness. And I use my own, eccentric ways to create art and films, because being an artist is my biggest passion.

      @andfrogstoo 8 лет назад +6

      +Sunstrider Not all kids are like that, and I think for most, if not all, its just a phase that we eventually grow out of. It's a defense mechanism, rejecting/talking bad about the people who have rejected you (or you feel rejected by) to make yourself feel better. I'm sure all three of those you mentioned acted the same way, to some extent, when they were young, too. That way of being isn't confined to our current generation.

    One 'friend' even told me that I shouldn't try the study I wanted to attend because I would not make it. I'm doing that study right now and having good grades. She's a 'holy' and 'perfect' girl in the eyes of the teachers. Yes, she's a teachers pet!
