1. Everyone is weirder than other people think they are.
No one thinks you're as weird as you think you are.
Everyone is somebody's weirdo.

It's always something.

5. There is a theory that states if anyone ever discovers
how the universe was made and what it is here for, it will instantly be destroyed and replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

There is another which states that this has already happened.

Thank you, Douglas Adams. RIP.
