About Me

Hi! My name is Angela, but online I go by Weird Louise.

My Story

I’m a geek who loves video games, anime, and books. I have a bachelor’s degree in Lifestyle Medicine, and I started Weird Louise as a way to share my interests and connect with others.

I also have ADHD, anxiety, depression, and autism spectrum disorder. That means I’m often fidgeting, overthinking, and struggling with social interactions. Growing up, I was called weird and teased for being different. I didn’t have many friends, so I spent a lot of time drawing, watching cartoons, and daydreaming. I longed to fit in, comparing myself to others and wishing I could just be “normal.”

Out of fear, I isolated myself, convinced that no one wanted to be friends with the weird girl. When I did try to connect with people, I became a people-pleaser, doing whatever it took to make them like me. But the reality was, they weren’t laughing with me—they were laughing at me. After high school, I withdrew completely, surrounding myself with my interests as a shield from rejection. But no matter how safe I felt in my bubble, I was still lonely.

In 2018, I decided to break free from that fear and start blogging as a way to connect with others. I was anxious, terrified that no one would read what I had to say, but I knew I had to try. Through blogging, I found an amazing community of people who share my interests and understand me in ways I never thought possible.

Stepping out of my comfort zone was scary, but it changed my life. It helped me embrace who I am and inspired me to take on new challenges, even when they scare me. Weird Louise isn’t just a blog—it’s proof that being different isn’t a weakness. It’s what makes us who we are.

Why Weird Louise?

My middle name is Louise, and I didn’t want to use my real name online. Since I’m quiet and tend to keep to myself, my coworkers often try to find me online rather than just talking to me directly.

I’m also a huge Bob’s Burgers fan, and my favorite character is Louise Belcher. I relate to her a lot—she’s mischievous and loves to joke around, but she’s also fiercely loyal and always there for the people she cares about. Inspired by her confidence and unapologetic personality, I decided to embrace my own weirdness and call myself Weird Louise.
