No I haven't been outright called 'weird', but I know I'm a little off-beat and non-standard in many ways, some of my friends have called me 'non-conventional'. I'm okay with that, I have got to the stage in life where I'm not too bothered about 'fitting in' at the expense of not being true to myself, life is too short for that.
'Weird' sounds to me a value judgement, probably says more about them and their own value system than you. Personally I would shrug it off, you're unlikely to alter their behaviour, but it's your call.
