Yes. Eccentric means odd. Crazy means mentally or emotionally unbalanced. Outgoing isn't necessarily either of those. Outgoing could simply mean fun loving, adventurous and extroverted.

Synonyms may be related but don't necessarily have the exact same meaning.

Eccentric is a term for unusual but harmless behavior. Outgoing is a term for very social, usually happy behavior which can be very charming. Crazy is a term for behavior you don't understand or approve of. None of these are professional terms.
