No, no! Dinah, if talking with arcane language & using metaphorical expressions is odd, then there's many great writers & poets that are odd. Sheesh, how boring do people need to be to have others think them normal?
Many have told us that our whole family is odd because we really enjoy out-of-the-usual things. It's just due to our family's reading & culture. We tend to use a much larger vocabulary than most & have far-ranching interests in many & varied fields. I just think most people while good-hearted, are boring. I've learned to be quiet about my opinions of others so no one will think me arrogant instead.
To me, you sound like a very interesting person that would be neat to get to know better. If some others don't think so, that's their disadvantage not yours.
