I am totally normal, nothing to see here 🤪

Weird and boring, so I'm told. And proud of it!

Weird - I'm a very quiet, introverted person who just likes to stay at home and live a quiet life - people don't get me and I've been told many times that I'm weird or there's something wrong with me!

Beenaboutabit · 19/03/2024 13:26

I’m normal.
everyone else is weird as fuck tho

TheFancyPoet · 19/03/2024 13:26

Bonkers as bananas, weird and wonderful. Not really. Sensitive, religious, spiritual, loving, solid, emotional, amazing, a deep thinker, a traditional wife and supportive of others - yes

Wordsmithery · 19/03/2024 13:26

Weird, and proud of it 😊

FlamingoYellow · 19/03/2024 13:26

I wonder what makes the people who say they are weird think that about themselves?

I'm incredibly normal and boring.

Einevinefine · 19/03/2024 13:27

Are people necessarily binary, weird or normal?

Strawberrycheesecake7 · 19/03/2024 13:27

I’m definitely weird.

LiterallyOnFire · 19/03/2024 13:27

Weird.

Well confirming to the mainstream is quite a narrow thing. Then there's the rest of us.

Needmorelego · 19/03/2024 13:28

Define "normal"
Define "weird"

EveryKneeShallBow · 19/03/2024 13:29

I’m a duck

HumanbyDesign · 19/03/2024 13:29

I actually think most of Mumsnet are weird so it's not going to give you a fair cross section of society if that was your aim 😂

(And Yes, I am Definitely weird, by the way)

DoYouSmokePaul · 19/03/2024 13:30

Weird. I’m baffled by the majority of my fellow humans’ behaviour.

ForgottenPasswordNewAccount · 19/03/2024 13:30

Most people don't get me

I know I do weird things that people don't understand

My husband wants to get me tested for adhd but i M not sure

I don't think so, surely most people have variety of traits, some closer to "the norm" than others. I think a lot of the time my behaviour/thoughts/style/interests/whatever measure you like falls within "normal" parameters, and other times I'm likely mad as a bag of badgers. Which is normal, right..!?! I think "normal" is pretty hard to define.

brainexplorer · 19/03/2024 13:34

Neurodiverse and spent my whole life feeling like a weirdo. Learning more about my own diagnosis and other people like me has made me realise I’m not that weird at all. I’m a pretty textbook “normal” for an ADHD brain with trauma. But that isn’t exactly normal, even if it’s not super rare.

Clarinet1 · 19/03/2024 13:35

It’s a very broad question - you might dress very conventionally but eat only certain foods for instance; Does that make you weird? Are you weird just because you enjoy one or two specific interests? Are you weird because your idea of fun on a Friday or Saturday night isn’t sitting in a bar/pub/club getting totally out of it? I could think of other examples but you get the idea.

NotSorry · 19/03/2024 13:36

Aren’t we all a bit weird though? What is “normal”?
