Learners sometimes use "deviant" to mean simply "different" or "creative". In most contexts, "deviant" is clearly negative and suggests behavior that society sees as wrong or unacceptable, often in a moral or sexual way. For a neutral meaning of "different", use words like "unusual", "different", or "unique" instead.
