"You seem normal"
I've had messages to this effect a few times, so tell me is this a really mediocre compliment, or are you guys saying that some of the beautiful ladies on site are as mental as a box of adorable kittens? |

Normal is great. I can't be arsed with people who are all "look at me, I'm so kooky". Probably not what they mean by it, but I'd take it as a compliment.  |

You have two arms two legs and breasts. That's normal. But yes, it's pretty lame.
The arab blokes in Egypt came out with some pretty overblown stuff on the beach to my step-daughter...I love your eyes and your lips I am a virgin and I have been waiting for you. Your husband (we told them she was married) must be the luckiest man in the world to wake up next to your beautiful face...you are a diamond.
She stayed there with the bloke from the beauty salon and I have a camel farm. |

To be fair, some people are just really shite at starting up a chat with people. We've had that line a couple of times. "we contacted you because we think you're just like us" is another strange one! |

Ha ha ha...yeah I've had that a few times too...always strikes me as a bit strange as they're a couple and I'm a singleton...makes me wonder which one they think I'm like!  |

A large number of single women on here are batshit crazy so to find a normal woman is nice But I wouldn't ever tell her she's normal as it's not a compliment she wants a to hear lol
I think it is a compliment on here though! You should take it as one. |

"Define normal?  "
And there in lays the challenge which is why I think it's a strange comment to message someone I kind of read it like "Hi you seem average" lol |

I take everything message wise with a big pinch of salt as most of it is just a way in.
Normal could be meant as a compliment or oil be that you're not as ranty as the last profile viewed.....

well I would have gone for mad as a box of frogs, and of course normal is a variable which puts you slap bang in the middle of the mad people of fab  |

Outside of fab i usualy keep my scars covered and most people in my life have no idea i have them.
When some prople have seen them (I've forgotten and rolled up my sleeve etc) and they've seen them after the initial freak out "but you seem so normal" has been a fairly universal statement |

You've mentioned your scars on a paranoid way a few times... Your scar is far cooler than any tattoo on here to be honest. I have no idea why it would bother you. |

Not sure why this got on to scars but I have 3 two small ones and one large the small ones were a gift courtesy of the Argintinans the larger one a treasured gift from our glorious field surgeons some people ask me about them I say there just a passage of time no more ..... As for self harm etc I honestly don't know but I tend to find that it's not always someone else that's to blame, I made a mistake, but I live with it, it's always easier to put your shit on someone else as most of us seem to do but you cannot heal a mind that has no wish to be healed. |

They're people ive known for years it would be weirder if they just stared rather than expressing some kind of surprise that many of the cuts were done during the time ive know them. |

fair enough would of thought if they had known you years they could have expressed surprise without freaking out. You must just be unfortunate to know so many rude people |

You seem to be on this like a dog with a bone i dont know why you seem to be trying to start an argument.
I do not take it as rude, they are surprised by the severity of my scaring (its much more severe than usual for self harm) and they are surprised that while going through all that that i remained perfectly happy an normal in public.
And i certainly wouldnt describe my self as unfortunate for knowing them

I was merely curious not starting an argument. Why would mine surprised by your scaring I've been around many self harmers some so!severe they've been in danger of losing limbs, a guy whose eyes which where scared to fuck from constantly looking them until they bled. I just have a different take and experience on it to you, that's why I raised a question. But if you want to see it as trying to start an argument fair play. Not like you have never questioned anyone now is it |

Yeah and it's a sensitive thing and you kept on and on at him then. Who gives a fuck how many people you know that have done it, doesn't give you any supreme knowledge on it. He was saying what his experiences were why couldn't you just accept it instead of arguing the toss.

Wow lots been going on while I've been gone gone from normal to mood swings to self harm in one giant leap 
Self harming is a wide and emotive subject everyone is different and does it for different reason and can get into a circle of self harm and self destruction.
Seawitch if the poster is a friend of yours talk to them but don't judge them but try and get them help |

Phew ... Hoping for normality to return ...just for the record .. I would say normal in fabspeak means easy to talk to and have sensible conversations with .. A good thing .. Not the best compliment every .. But reassuring and safe |

mental illness is talked about on here often.
I was questioning him on his experiences, as I was interested. I've seen different experiences to him. I wasn't rude, abusive, I didn't accuse him of anything I was saying what I had experienced as was he.
I said that I found people that reacted the way they did to him rude as did someone else. And I do think they are rude.
If he didn't want to talk about any of it he wouldn't have answered.

I would have said the way he described it was his friends were freaked out because they found out he has issues that they didn't know about and it was more out of concern than being rude. |
