What does " normal" mean anyway?

May be you need to be more crowd loving. I believe that you are afraid of crowd. Make them see you and feel your presence. Unless and until you do that people will say the same to you. They used to call me abnormal but since I have been started enjoying parties and going together with my friends, they have started loving me.

Well,you are my soulmate! I was called strange and weird a few times,as well, but that didn't bother me. I guess you are considered weird if you're not an extravert and open to all the crazy ideas people might have Don't take me wrong,I love clubbing and hanging out with friends but with GOOD friends. If I get invited to a party by some people I could care less about I'd have to decline politely. I don't think it's normal to get drunk with people you just met and spend your entire paycheck on some whim but I live and let live. After all,everything's eventual and very subjective,"normal" is different for different people.We consider abnormal something that is beyond our understanding of the order of things

i don't think that your behavior is abnormal at all. i also have those habits. i think that 'normal' depends entirely on the person who uses the word. i mean, who is to say what 'normal' is and is not? who is to say that what society defines as normal is really 'normal' and not actually abnormal? so i think normal is entirely dependent on the person who uses the word and their values and culture

i don't think your behavior is abnormal. I think that 'normal' is based on preference. People with some brain illness might think we are abnormal while we think that they are abnormal. So i think that 'normal' or not is totally based on one's thinking.

i see you photo ,you looks like a chinese . where are you come from.what is you job now,i am i student in fujian province. maybe you is a student too.i think if you want to turn unnormal you must studying hard and work hard.one day you will become unnormal. i prefer like the normal to unnormal. maybe we can make friend.ok

Hello dear lotusmine, 'normal' is a relative term. It depends upon the person who is looking at the things. What is perfectly normal to one is totally abnormal to another. A persons outlook about normalcy is a result of many factors like his country,his society, his family traditions, his religious beliefs, the level of education and so on. The combination of all these help in shaping the personality of a human being and his outlook, for the matter. In the light of these, that one judges the normal and abnormal things. Kissing in public is abnormal in our place, but it is not in many others. So there is nothing to worry about others saying abnormal. Just do the things what you yourself feel to be normal and your normal behaviour should not disturb or annoy others. Just that much. Be yourself. That is the most normal thing to do. Good luck

Normal is supposed to be arrived at by consensus within a culture. Instead, it's come to be whatever each person perceives it to be. It's not at all concrete, certainly, not can it be described by non-existent guidelines.

When I hear the word "NORMAL" for some reason it reminds me of the word Perfect. There's no such thing as perfect in my opinion. Normal could be a number of thoughts for some people. Maybe your normal is unnormal to me and my normal is unnormal to you. I don't think anyone really knows what normal is. Example: You see a person standing on the street holding up a sign that says.. will work for money or spare some change? They are peirced with earings in almost every part of their body. Is that normal? I'd say no.. but maybe that person who is standing out there sure thinks it is. So if people think that you're Unnormal then don't let it bother you because you're only human. Have a great day

You're just an introvert. There's nothing unnormal about that. But sometimes, we tend to label those who are not like us as "weird" or different or in your case, unnormal. Don't worry. The really weird people for me are those who have mental problems. If you are mentally stable then you're just different in terms of preference for music or in your hobbies or in your personality.

I think that normal is in the eye of the person that speaks the word. It is odd but I think that people use it either for a negative or a positive and nothing in between. It is basically immaturity talking.

Well... I feel "normal" is whatever the individual feels it is. Being "normal" could never be a general statement bcuz everyone is different. Like you said you prefer one thing over the other...the other is what they prefer. What you like to do is normal to you, and what they like to do is normal to them but, bcuz you don't like what they like they feel your "unnormal". That's like someone who talks to themselves everyday...if we were watching them we would feel that it wasn't "normal" but, to them it is bcuz they do it on a regular basis... So to me, being normal is simply being yourself...

I think it quite depends on who says the word and whom you are among. When you are within a specific group with certain norms, they tend to share a set of ideology, attitude and belief. If you do something different from them, they would think you are abnormal. While in some other groups, you would be defined as normal. When I was in university, my classmates thought I was a bit abnormal just because I did not do something they usually did. Well, they did not use the word "abnormal" verbally, but I could feel what they thought. For me, I am comfortable to act what I think is ok as long as I will not be singled out. We live for ourselves, not for others, right?
