I wonder what it's like to be normal.

  • I've never been the mass definition of 'normal'... I like it that way.

    Me neither. Ever since I was young I've had people calling me weird or crazy. I am not really so in the clinical sense of the word but I am learning to appreciate the fact that I am different and don't worry whether people like me or have a problem with me or not. I have friends who accept me as I am and that's what counts.
  • Having a disability pretty much makes you forget the word 'normal' even exists. The word means nothing to me except a tool of power used by the pompous.

    I didn't say disabled people couldn't be pompous shits.. I can be. So can people suffering mental health problems. To say that people who use the word 'normal' as a staple in their vocabulary are pompous shits, does not exclude other people from being pompous shits. I was merely commenting on the word 'normal', the subject of this thread.

    oh god yeah i totally understand the mental health nuts pomposity. i myself have been known to be guilty of that. :)

    normal is a social construct. people use the term without thinking. as if it were 'normal' to do so. :D

    but people seem to think others are weird.......
    if there's no normal, why do people want me to change?

    That's THEIR issues/problem.

    Do YOU want to change?

    Don't do something just to please or appease others.

    YOU are the one that matters :)
