if u want to know the definition of NORMAL as people would sometimes like to be here it is:

Normal: Adjective / Conforming to a standard; usual , typical or expected.
Noun/ The usual average, or typical state or condition.

I think the normal is just a word, not something u have to be in order to turn your life under the state to be normal but hey what is normal? is there a normal I don't see it maybe you do as someone who is nt- neurotypical as we like to call are self's these days well if you are one? I define myself as a strange outgoing don't give a crap, person that maybe have crazy ideas that one day will be BIG. So people define it, what is normal.

Normal is a setting on a washing machine.

Normal can also be subjective. What is normal for one person may be abnormal for another. For example, it is normal for me to stay up late a lot.

It's also interesting to think about what we consider normal today that was abnormal generations ago. It's normal in this day and age for both parents to work for a living, and for women to wear pants.

I'm really into sociology and anthropology, so these topics fascinate me. :)

Normal is DULL. We don't have all the magnificent inventions and advancements in knowledge that we have today because of normal people.

Many normal people seem abnormal to me and normal is supposed to mean average, but why would anyone want to be average?

Normal is what a majority group of people say it is at the time

Wanting to be different and abnormal is normal in today's society.

Normal is a cat sleeping on your favorite sweater.

That's really all there is to it. NT's usually have no problem keeping up with all the latest unwritten, unspoken demands on the collective.

People being snarky, mean and nasty to others to get ahead, and to make themselves feel better.
