Is there such a thing as being "normal"?

Normal: conforming to a type, standard, or regular pattern characterised by what is considered usual, typical, or routine.

Well, doesn't that sound dull?

@Nikki1989 I never did know what "normal' is/was. I like what Morticia said.

I agree with Morticia :P

Thanks for the MHO

Normality is socially enforced conformity. We hold up an ideal and forgive a little deviation as character, but stray only a step over the line and hear, "It's not normal." There's never any justification as to why it's not normal or where the line is but we strive not to cross it.

Normal is a comfort zone installed around us in our formative years. We all live in our normality bubbles and nod approvingly to those in identical ones.

This is a very good answer. I think some step a lot further over lines than others though, often discreetly.

Yeah, normal there ıs, but it really depends on the time and place. Like, being medically normal matters for your health and survival. But socially, “normal” is different everywhere. At the end of the day, as long as you’re not doing anything illegal, people can kind of define their own version of normal. And if being normal means hiding who you are or holding yourself back, then yeah, it’s pretty boring.

Normal is best described by very annoying people that will tell you how to look, behave, and what to believe in all situations, despite none of these annoying people being able to agree on what it is. They typically just like to call it when they see it. Lol.

I wouldn’t know. I always wished I was normal, like my dad’s side of the family. Where they married young, always felt confident and started a family and bought a home and fell into the perfect job. Traditional people. I just never was like that.

My life is quirky and colourful. I’ve learnt to embrace and enjoy it. My friends told me that I’m completely eccentric. I suppose I am.

[William7489]

Well, maybe but overall it’s really subjective. You have to end up comfortable in your own skin, even if it is a little unorthodox to other people. As long as it’s not offensive or illegal, abnormal is just normal to another person.

[RandomGirl42]

If there is I've never been accused of it. 😊

Pretending to be something or somebody that you are not the normality just can not happen however others see something they try ithat too to the norm some may be bewildered having a group of others doing same thing at same time of day or through the day becomes programmed is it normal to escape the program

I do so love me a Morticia Addams quote.

In describing normality, I'll defer to the wisdom of the writers of the scripts that were brought to magnificent life by the lovely Carolyn Jones'!

Cheers!

if there is... I know it ain't me...

[loveslongnails]

There is such a thing according to your basic bell curve behaviors, but yes, it's often rather dull. LOL

[ella617281]

No, because what is ,, normal"? Nobody can say what's normal and what's not, because everyone is different and everyone has a different opinion

[fish5505_87]

No, not anymore, and I am not sure it ever existed.

[AngryCarl3]

Well you have two options. You can either pretend to be normal by pretending to be what you think society expects, or you can be yourself.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Unfortunately yes there is a such thing as being normal

[DavyD65]

Define normal is what I say. What is ‘normal’ to one is not necessarily’normal’ to others. That being said, as long as our actions are respectful to all, then the world should be able to coexist. Sadly, that it’s always the case.

The lanyard with my work badge says "Normal people scare me" along the ribbon.

[slatyb]

No, there isn't. There is only variation.

[AnneTheLady]

Yes. And I’m not normal

[WhitneySnow]

I agree with Morticia

[Jennz6]

No such thing

[nomomrnice]

Is it normal to fuck sex toy daily?
