Featured Article  What is normal?

by: Popcorn Popcorn 11th April 09 - Posted in: User Articles
When people ask me what normal is, I normal say it's just perspective, or perception. A lot of people would define people as what the majority of society does, but is that really a good role model of "normal". I like my definition better. People tell me I'm weird, because I act differently and I'm more out going. People tell me to calm down, but I like be energetic and moving, and making jokes.

What is your definition of normal? Is it majority? Different to each individual? People always ask this, and it seems like a simple question no? But how come, no one ever really answers it, but makes a joke, such as, "The exact opposite of you". Maybe it is because we can't define it, because, it is always changing, and never set in stone.

Just some late night thought.

In my eyes a normal person is somebody that follows the crowd, a yes no sort of person that doesn't let their personality show because they may be to embarresed of what others may think of them

Let me tell you what a friend told me. Werid people are the normal becasue everyone is weird. Normal people are the werid ones because they are not like every one else. But then that means that when a werid person is normal, they are werid even though they are normal....what?

Anyway, the world is werid and being normal is boring...if we ever figure out what normal is :)

How about this, what one person calls werid, is normal to someone else. Sorted!

Normal is a façade, used to distract people, to make them feel safe. Everyone is unique, some more-so than others, but we often use normal to feel secure as part of a whole.

People shouldn't try to be normal, like Loaf said, normal is boring. :-)

So, basically, like I said, it's perspective?
