As normal as they come~

I think most people stop caring after they reach a certain age, or at least stop worrying about it.

I'm not a sheep. But I do not completely break myself away from all of societal views.

No, I don't think there's really a normal anyway? Everyone's unique after all. But yeah I'm autistic as well so it's hard to be "Normal" for me.

This. Normal people don't exist. Everybody is unique, and no characteristic is. Nobody is normal, because if I'd take the average characteristics and boiled them into a human, nobody would find them interesting. I doubt people would ever call themselves normal, anyway. If I look at the average instragram feed, it's filled with "lol I'm so weird" and "Why be normal when you can be crazy?". Normal is just the word people use for people they don't find interesting that aren't like them.

Do you eat three times a day? Do you sleep at night? Are you between 5'4" and 6'2"? Indeed probably nobody is completely normal, but most people tick enough boxes for a perception of what generally constitutes a normal person to be a valid enough for the purpose of, say, our preconscious judgements of other people.

Normal is kind of an illusion. Even if you think someone is "normal", they probably build their free time around going to conventions in costumes, or obsessing over toy sail boats, or being a hardcore tattoo artist, or on their off time they really do nothing but play World of Warcraft. I've come to learn that most people have quirks, cause everyone has their own interests. We all try to act normal or more composed, but catch us in our elements and not too many people would fit in any kind of "norm". Even normal retail workers, or scientists could secretly dress up as Dead Pool in their off time.

Besides, if normal is having no specific sets of interests, and working a boring office job where you have no life in your eyes anymore, then count me the heck outta that one. That's not normal anyway, that's just boring.

Remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

Normal people don't exist. Even if you have nothing weird about you, it's actually not normal, because everyone else has something weird. So no, I'm not normal.

P.S. Hahaha, I posted it without reading other replies. My reply is absolutely the same as this one:

normal people don't exist. if there is a person that does the normal thing in every single facet of their life, then that in and of itself is abnormal, so where the heck does that leave you. I don't like classifying people as Normal and Abnormal. it's weird to me. you just are.

We even have the same first sentence, lmao.

I used to be semi normal at one time, as in, I had normal friends and tried to fit in, but I never really succeeded. Now? I consider myself weird, and have been called that multiple times by other people. And Im happier for it XD

I don't think there is such thing as normal people and abnormal people.
Classifying someone as abnormal is like saying what they are is wrong and shouldn't be existing. At least that's how I see it.

Everyone's normal, it's just that everyone is also different in their own ways. Some, like me, are much more different than others.
