Yea, since everyone is scared of being themselves, someone should tell me exactly what normal is.
If you've figured it out, that is.

Normal is what is commonly expected, accepted and desirable response by majority of the people in society.
It is usually determined by the approval of majority of individuals or by the authentication of any standard authority.

There really isn't a definition for normal if you're talking about fitting in with society and people. What is normal here in CA where I live could be the exact opposite to folks in WY or HI or China. Being normal is being you...I think we all need to relax and stop judging and stop worrying about being judged and all be ourselves. Each and everyone of us have some great qualities and if we would all open up we would see that. Just be you, that's all you can do!!

I'm not normal, I'm different. If people don't accept it, they can go to Hell for all I am concerned.
Normality is the concept of WTMITDALL. What The Majority Thinks, Does, and Looks Like. It's a wrong concept, because people aren't the same. I therefore conclude normality does not exist.
I'm not stupid... I'm special.

Normal = Boring
Personally, I don't think anyone is normal. Everyone has their own quirks and eccentricities.
Think of it this way:
No one is normal. As proof of this, anyone who claims to be normal is thus abnormal because no one is normal.

Normal is me when I need to be in a psychiatric hospital and abnormal when I don't. Or is it visa-virsa. Oh well I'm feeling much better now.

"Normal" is a term relative to ones' environment. I think it is in general a means of striking an average, and maintaining stability. But, even more important: "Normal" is YOU.
