Do you consider yourself normal? What qualities do you have that make you different and are they good, or not so good? Are the people around you normal? How do you stand out from the crowd? Is normal boring or exciting? What does normal mean, anyway?

No, I am not sure that I am normal, it depends what we consider "normal", in my opinion seen closely nobody is normal. We all have our phobias, fears and obsessions.

Yes, I consider myself normal. Everything about me makes me unique from the rest. I can't speak for them. But, as far as I'm concerned, they are normal. By just being me. It's exciting because it differs from one person to the other. Being a conformist based on one's standard.

Some of the most interesting people are non-comfomist in some ways.

I think 'normal' can be boring. Everyone has a different idea of what is and isn't normal. I like to think I am not. I am unusual in that I have a very varied range of tastes and interests, and I like things which the majority of the population find weird or are interested in just because it's fashion or only if it's related to a TV show, etc. I don't have a group of friends or certain groups to do certain things (that seems to be normal for some). There are different versions of normal, too. I mean, some 'normal' people do things I think 'that's not normal' as in, I think there is something wrong with. Then there's 'not normal' in a good way, like my partner and kids. They're completely mad but that's good!

I think there is no such thing as 'normal.' Everyone is unique with their own tastes and preferences. Sometimes 'weird' is good.

Hummm, to me I am normal and everyone else is whacko .... then again, I have a friend who thinks I'm whacko because she is normal, ummm. I donno, maybe we're both a little whacko with a hint of normal.

I'm afraid I don't know waht normal is, we all have our little ways that someone would probably think abnormal.

It was just a question I threw out there. My best friend and I are always joking around and saying that all we wanted was a normal life. Then we ask what is normal anyway.

@akalinus A very good question.

That is the question as what is normal to one person may not be normal to another person.

I am not sure what normal is anymore. I think I am fairly normal, but who is to compare it. I see a lot of people that I stop and think they are not normal. Now, what happens if they are the normal ones, and I am the odd one?

I don't think myself as normal! I have my moments where I can be silly and I also suffer from anxiety which I don't think is considered normal.

It is hard not to have anxiety in this world. Everything is so weird these days and you never know what will happen next.

@akalinus I think most people suffer from some form of depression or anxiety, so maybe it is normal now!

That's what I was going to ask - what is normal? Sometimes I don't think anyone is normal - except me.

I'm probably not that normal, but I do like my day to day rut.
