Neither. What on earth does 'normal' mean anyhow?

Mairzydotes · 19/03/2024 16:48

Probably weird. I've been accused of being weird in my younger days.

I'm possibly neurodivergent

I have no interest in pretending to be someone I'm not in order to fit in . Which is one of the reasons I never fit in.

JaninaDuszejko · 19/03/2024 16:48

I'm neither weird nor normal, I'm super.

Properchips · 19/03/2024 16:51

I'm so weird I can convince myself and others I am normal.

OnHerSolidFoundations · 19/03/2024 17:34

Oh I'm totally normal. Many other people are bloody weird though!

Oh I'm totally normal. Many other people are bloody weird though!

Also I'm awesome.

Hagbard · 19/03/2024 17:45

I used to, until I realised everyone else is weird too. Much weirder than me!

Deadringer · 19/03/2024 17:47

6 of one, half a dozen of the other.

EmilyPlay · 19/03/2024 17:48

I'm just me.

Nothingbuttheglory · 19/03/2024 17:50

Everyone is weird on some level. Therefore I am normal.

citrinetrilogy · 19/03/2024 17:51

Normal is as normal does...😎

FourLeggedBuckers · 19/03/2024 17:52

It’s not so much that I think I’m weird, more that people have spent my whole life telling me I’m weird. Until I started hanging out with other weirdos, and they all tell me I fit right in 😳

ND, and quite happy with my place in life!

I think everyone is normal and those that say they're weird are the most vanilla of the bunch.

Spot on.

But what exactly is it that makes people think they are "weird"?
I like Lego - does that make me weird?

IncompleteSenten · 19/03/2024 18:03

I am normal. I am aware other people think I am weird. I think they are the weird ones.

Loubelle70 · 19/03/2024 18:04

Weird.
Kookie apparantly.
I think im normal... its the others that are weird

Mummyofthewildones · 19/03/2024 18:05

I'm a normal amount of weird 🤣

ilovepixie · 19/03/2024 18:05

Totally weird and I love it!

CurlewKate · 19/03/2024 18:06

Like all those people who go on about "school gate mums" being "too mundane" for them, and they "don't to small talk." Deeply tedious.

BigMandyHarris · 19/03/2024 18:07

How the fuck would I know eh?

PostItInABook · 19/03/2024 18:08

Well, I am autistic, single and childless so am definitely weird according to the opinions of our general society. But I think most supposedly normal people are weird so…….

usernother · 19/03/2024 18:09

Normal. Properly weird people think they are normal and everyone else is weird.

Riapia · 19/03/2024 18:09

I used to be a werewolf but I’m alright nowooooo.

everythingthelighttouches · 19/03/2024 18:11

I used to think I was normal. Certainly spent my childhood without a care in the world and I never questioned myself during my twenties and early thirties, but in the last 10 years I’ve come to realise I’m actually quite weird!

EmilyPlay · 19/03/2024 18:13

I'm mad me and zany. Look at me being all kooky and shit.
