Do you think you are normal?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Quite honestly, I don’t think I am and I am totally fine with that. 😜

I knew I was fascinated with dancing, but just now I danced on one leg. Without crutches. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Just for 18-20 minutes, but felt so good - I laughed with happiness haha

I have tried dancing with crutches, but I couldn’t imagine, I’d start independent dancing, before I could even walk.

Had a great time haha 💃

I was randomly listening to some songs and this one got me dancing.

Crimson and Clover - Maybe it can get you dancing too?

I am now about to dance on some slow music. Ideas are welcome.

I've never felt like I fit in with people. My thoughts were always very different from others throughout my life. I've always been philosophical since I was a child and my mom always brings up the time I was 7 years old and asked "When we die, are we the same age as when we die?" And my philosophical thoughts have only went more and more down the rabbit hole since then. I've been anti-social and felt like most people couldn't talk to me about those thoughts. And only now do I have a best friend that seems to be able to relate to me on all my thoughts and is always interested in my insights.

I also can't flirt for my life and I've never understood how people are able to do it so easily and naturally. Physical touch has always been very... awkward for me to initiate. Touching a girl's hand, lap, back, face... I was never an initiator. It's only now after a lot of experiences in my life that I've been able to be more comfortable with it, but still awkward.

I've always been a loner. Always very comfortable in my own space because others don't communicate or think the way I do. I'm sure there are others in the world that think and communicate the same way as me. I just haven't met them.

I guess I'm just another common guy that feels alone/like an alien in the world.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

I've always been rather eccentric even for my own comfort.

One thing that actually helped me a lot was discovering that I'm ENFP on the MBTI test. I read the description and 90% of it seems to describe my quirks in a way that comforted me that others who test this way might share them. I compared the ENFP profile to all the others to make sure I wasn't just getting a cold reading and ENFP genuinely seems to fit me most.

On the dancing, I love to dance but that particular music is almost the polar opposite of the type of music that I enjoy dancing towards! I tend to like ones that have a fairly prominent beat reinforced by a thumping kick drum.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I am ENFP too! Don’t know if that’s relevant.

And I can dance on almost any music. It just happen to be this one right now.

I tend to be attracted to FJ and NJ men.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

Nice! I generally don't know the MBTI profiles of people I meet in person (maybe I should start asking), yet I suspect if any of my friends are ENFP, they're mostly women.

One of my eccentricities is that I can usually have deeper conversations with women and I think I get along with women more overall. It's easy to "soul-share" with women.

With men, I try and they usually close up and so I usually feel like I have to stay cool and not chat so much and just arm wrestle and talk about hot girls or something to keep them talkative.

My wife also teases me and says I tell stories like a woman, since they tend to be very long-winded and I get deep into tangents instead of just saying, "This happened, then that happened, and then this. The end!" like most guys. I'm more interested in the journey of a story than the destination. :-D

My wife is INFP (Mediator type). We tend to suit each other very well and have a lot of overlap in the way we communicate.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Yeah, I can tell you are chatty haha

That’s nice. I like people who can hold a conversation

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

I'm a bit of a chatterbox although my speaking style is rather different than writing. With writing I can't help myself to go on and on. :-D I'm one of those types where my friends might ask, "How R U?" then I send them back a multi-paragraph message about how my day is going. I can't settle for just, "Fine, thanks! And you?"

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

How are you?

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

I'm doing great! Had an uneventful morning and day just trying to get some work done, but my wife got a craving for steak (uncharacteristic of her) and so we tried a new little Australian steak restaurant (not Outback).

It was really nice! I ordered shank just to mix things up (first time I ever tried shank). I thought it might be incredibly tough but it was actually quite tender. My wife ordered a NY strip. We both wanted to try each other's steak so we cut our steaks in half and gave each other the other half.

I can keep going but it's like that. I'm very long-winded! Also usually when my friends ask me how it's going, I might not have spoken to them all week so I discuss the entire week. :-D

It can come off as self-absorbed to some people but a lot of people I meet in person actually praise me for my listening skills. I know when to shut up when someone else starts talking. Actually I crave it when people share a lot with me. My way of sharing a lot is with the hope that they reciprocate.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

How are you?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I am fine, thanks. 😂

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

Short and sweet! I might need to try that more. 😆

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

One very funny thing is that my wife is as long-winded as me in her text messages. That's something our mutual friends pointed out that we had in common. We both write the longest text messages, by far.

I think it's because we both grew up with a love of reading and writing and, even after the internet became a household thing, we adapted our remote writing style to e-mail (which, back then, often took hours to deliver). So I think we both think of sending text messages, even ones that are delivered immediately, like e-mail. We both failed to adapt any further!

[FreyaRed]

Psychologists won't agree with me, but what can they do? I'm have potential to do very bad things but this isn't enough to send me to closed psychiatry.

[KittyKat90210]

Probably not. I'm not even sure what's considered normal haha

[CuriousMufuxka]

Ugh, hearing the first 5 seconds of that song wanted my brain to find much better music. Normal or not here goes..

I know.. I'm not normal.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Well, my brother says the same. 🤣 He listens to very sophisticated music, Jazz, Blues and I listen to funny songs. But who cares, I enjoyed it.

[CuriousMufuxka]

Good on you! normal girlie

[msc545]

You are definitely a little bit strange. Please be careful with this as your leg is still not completely healed and if you mess it up you're going to be in for a long long long recovery again.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Hope, a little bit strange - in a good way?

I have a really good balance, if I didn’t have, I’d not dare dance :P I am very careful not to mess it up and always have some surface near me to grab on it, if I suddenly lose balance.

Of course, I haven’t danced on this leg…

Are you not a little bit strange?

[msc545]

I'm more than a little bit strange of course

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I’d love to hear more about that

[exitseven]

I am definitely not normal. Everyone knows it and I refuse to be something that I am not just to please a bunch of people that I could not care less about.

[Sonorous]

Nope. Maybe when I was younger. But I stopped feeling normal after around late middle to early high school ages.

[Anonymous]

See, you asked that referring to fun abnormal. I saw your question and immediately thought of... Untreated mental illness abnormal. No, I don't think I'm normal. I wish I was.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

To me I’m normal & if truth be told I think the rest of the world is weird.

[FoxyFae]

What is normal? I pride myself in being uniquely me. I don't want to be like the majority. I'm truly my horoscope to the t. Aquarius. Only thing is I have no one in my life. All alone. People only come around for my help. And I do wish people cared about me as a person and not what I can do to benefit them. Being the healer, fixer, and saver is a sad lonely life. The internet showed me I'm not the only one that feels so alone. So I guess in that since I'm a normal New York City girl. . .

[ARWINGx1]

Honestly, it depends on what you'd define as "normal"...

Like, in my case, autism (more specifically, Asperger's) may count as being "abnormal"... to an extent.

[AviatorTom]

I'm not sure what normal means. Each of us has strengths and weaknesses, so what makes a person normal?

I'm probably normal in some areas and abnormal in others.

[Anonymous]

Nothing get's me dancing more than this~

Forget crutches, paralyzed people were cured as they jumped up to dance to this!

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Ahahaha

[NathanDavis]

not in the least... lol

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Less normal than me?

[NathanDavis]

hmm... probably

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Okay, what’s the least normal thing you’ve done?

[NathanDavis]

when I was six years old I decided to become ambidextrous... so I started to tie my right hand and arm to train my left one... and also trained my left foot and leg

by the time I was 12... it had become way more natural to me, lol...

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Yes, you’re a weirdo. Here’s mine, after I broke my leg, I started drawing with my broken foot, just to practice ankle movement. We are even.

[NathanDavis]

I tried that too... LoL

But my toes did not want to cooperate and instead of moving more independently of one another they do move more like a toy's claw, lmfao

[NathanDavis]

@LaFemmeFatale_1

about the update... this one can be a nice one for a slow dance

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfBaVaubcyw

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Thanks, I’ll listen 😇

[DJB72]

No. I want to dance like this...

https://youtu.be/7GaO0oMniMQ?si=SOqM6hFr8pyvbezL

[Sour-rose]

Nah, i'm an evil, racist bitch... aaaand i dont mind that lool

[IslaTheWitch]

far from it :D

You can't be normal if you want to live a decent life lol

[RandomUser1000]

Probably not.

But I don't think it is necessary to be like everyone else.

[RebelinSteel]

No I am not normal, not sure what normal is and it could be scary to be normal.

[WhiteSteve]

No way, lmao. And I’m glad, normal is boring🥱

[patrick994]

No one is normal; we are all a little crazy in my opinion, i don't think i am normal.

[Ms_Facesitter]

No, some are already surprised with my height :c thanks mom and dad <3

[Nikki1989]

Not at all. I don't follow trends and have no interest in anything mainstream.
