I wouldn't say being not normal is a bad thing. Nor is being normal. I don't think there is a category for people, being either normal or not. what exactly classifies you as "normal". everybody goes through something, and everyone has issues they need to work out. i really would not say anyone is normal.

There is no actual way of being normal. There really isn't a definition. Someone will do something differently from someone else, making them seem "less normal" or "weird". Maybe they tie their shoes differently. Maybe they prefer walking to work rather than taking the bus. Everyone is different, and there really isn't any way to be "normal". You are who you are, and that makes you special and unique:) Keep being you

That's because no one is! You are special, I am special, everyone here is special! Everyone is their own individual person and has their own interests and thoughts and views and that's what sets you and me apart from other people. That's what makes us who we are! Why be normal and predictable, when you can be special?

No one is "normal," everyone has something different about themselves. That is what makes us individuals. Everyone has their beauties and flaws. That is what makes us human.
