What is the definition of a "normal" person?
Yes, I know that I should define the question a bit more, but maybe not?

i cant help saying this, but in todays world Normality is perhapes the biggest Abnormality..
Even if you don't know the definition of a perfectly normal person, how many times has it been that you felt youve been in contact with a normal person!!! (mind bogglin isnt it ;) )
However, a normal person has been defined by many psychologist world over.
the most common def of a normal person would be a person whose behaviour and conduct are in no way harmful or causing disgust, disgrace and distress to the community in which he lives in and the people around him!!
In my sense, people are always trying to be what they are not, and trying to put on a mask before the world! no one really shows what they are and whats going on in their mind. you might never know what or who a person is, cause they wont let you know :)

Normal is the setting on a washing machine. There is no such thing in human existence. I have only heard one person say that they had a really good childhood with no wants or needs left unmet. I see it as we have all suffered to varying degrees, but all have suffered enough to damage our psyches just by living though our teenage years.

Statistically 1 in every 3 people would be normal.

What is 'normal' for one may be totally abnormal for someone else ! There are 'average' people but 'normal' is abstract. No such thing as 'the norm' !!!! Unless you're talking about temperature !!!

There is no such thing as "NORMAL", so there are no normal person in this world. We are all different in our own ways. We all have our own definitions of NORMAL as well.

Take it from Emilio Estevez in Breakfast Club: We're all bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it.

All those that are truly "normal" are perfectionists. They suffer a lot.

Normal is just a setting on your dryer. We are all unique!
