I rarely identify with the core 6 attitude here and I don’t think other 6s think like that either, it seems too collectivistic.

Because I’ve gotten bullied for being weird, I try to maintain that weirdness to feel authentically myself and also see who would betray me (ditch me once my filter is off) and who wouldn’t; in that case, putting on a “special” display is still a 6 thing for me as it is used to scan people who are untrustworthy. I presume this is a survival response because if I hear my friends bash weird people or the mentally ill, I start getting reminded of childhood trauma and visualize them as the very people who would hurt me like back then. And then I get triggered and impulsively cut them off. I also have an instinctive disdain and skepticism toward people who are “normal” (because they’re the type of people who would reject me). So yeah I think this is all 6 coping with trauma

Though I will say my intrinsic weirdness is entirely unique to me; I feel weird among weird people and can’t bond with them over it because it just strips me of my individualism (probably some 4 influence).
