the commonly stereotipe in our society that you are normal if you can live in harmony with your society. you are normal if you don't create anything which disturbing or harmly your society. thats i see about normal depend on the society.
and in my own point of view, you are normal if you always can responsible for any actions that you did, either its realizing or not

How often are we wrong when we stereotipe people. we might think someone is normal but he ends up been a mass murderer or something. What people see as normal can be anything but normal. we act to look normal so the society will see us that way.

It is really hard to put an exact definition as to what a normal person is as a person has many varied uniqueness that sometimes deviate from the norms but is still considered a normal person. But I would say the general meaning of it is any person that is within the norms of every human being. But I see the definition very broad.

That is exacly what I am trying to say we all use the term normal but no one knows what normal is and what is normal to me might not be normal to you.

I beleive the word normal is offensive lol. I have never fit into anything like normal. And after having an autistic child i see this word as useless. I mean really if each person is unique then how can you clasify anyone as normal. Heres one of my favorite quotes i dont know where it came from
"Normal is just another setting on the washing machine"

hmmm...
thats a good question...
i think normal is something everyone tries to be...
they will try to hide their innermost feelings and appear that they do not have any problems at all..
they will be able to use all their muscles and do not need a cane or wheelchair or a carer....
they are the ones who try so hard to fit the bill so they will not be laughted at or rejected...
they know how to hold a decent conversation with others and some will have a sense of humor
so thats my definition of normal...
and by that context, i dont think i am normal at all...
