When people think you're weird or creepy or whatever is it better to be yourself and lean into your weirdness/creepiness or work on fixing yourself?

An acquaintance of mine comes to mind. He's more or less an objectively ugly man who is just barely 5 feet tall and chubby and bald with huge fish lips and he himself has said this.

And he often enjoys saying a bunch of weird stuff just to weird people out. Like the talk could be about people's pet guinea pigs and he'd talk about how he loves roasted guinea pig with the eyeballs still attached. Or if he could have a superpower he'd like the power to see through women's clothes.

Women especially find him creepy. Women straight up hate him. He knows and leans into this by saying shit like "oh come on baby don't be so mad let me kiss you with my fish lips" and pretends he's about to kiss them and they proceed to probably rightfully so berate him even more.

Despite all this he seems genuinely happy though. He's always smiling and laughing.

Surprisingly or not he does have a group of friends who are almost as weird as he is.

So is my acquaintance's approach to life a good one? Should you enjoy yourself even if you make other people uncomfortable? Or should you work on fixing yourself?

It's better to be yourself and lean into your weirdness/creepiness.
It's better to work on fixing yourself.
