Why aspire to be the same, let's celebrate our differences  |

Normal doesn't exist. It's nothing more than a setting on the washing machine.
If the world and his wife stopped trying to create the perception of 'normal' that some people just can't, (and shouldn't ever try to be) then maybe so many people wouldn't be quite so fucked up.
People should instead be authentic and feel able to be themselves. |

It's a bit like the "professional couple" statement....Most things on here are open to interpretation. For some, "normal" could mean lights out, missionary sex once a fortnight. For others it could be 3somes every weekend. |

There’s an episode from The Fairly Odd Parents (kids show that I watched when I was wee) where Timmy wishes everyone was the same and ‘normal’. And it’s bloody miserable |

"Just to clear up..I'm using normal in the sense of it being a standard by which the majority of people live their life "
it is the standard people might have you believe they live their life.
What is normal for the bird would be ridiculous for the fish.. |

It's a completely subjective term. You could seem entirely "normal" to the folk you encounter in your daily life. But they'd raise more than an eyebrow if they knew you were on here. |

Maybe it's because everyones definition of what 'normal' should be is different for everyone. The very fact there are protests and riots happening yet again over racial inequality just confirms that. |

People work in the exact same analogy.
For example I have adhd so your "normal" is a fucking horrific nightmare for me so it gets called a disability in today's world & you get bullied for it, even as an adult.
No, I just don't see the world like you & don't expect me to conform to you because of it.
Any great thinker/ scientist/ innovators was not "normal", adhd/autism/aspergers.
you can say thank you now.  |

Serious question,
So you said you class yourself in the normal person category.
Why should more people aspire to be the same as you. ?

It still frustrates me that society still doesn't see the damage this expectation of conformity does. Somehow people are expected to change to fit their environment. However if you had a plant that wasn't growing in the shade, you'd move it to the sun.
People are no diffrent.
Sadly though so many are lacking in any ability to see past their own bubble. Or they don't appreciate the beauty of difference.
The idea of contentment is lovely but that doesn't mean people should stop growing or aspiring for more. |

Why be normal when you can be unique
In society normal is just another word for repression
There would be no ambition, art wouldn’t exist, music wouldn’t exist, technology wouldn’t exist
It’s the free thinkers, dreamers and creative people who fall out of the ‘normal’ spectrum that are innovators and bring about change in the world.
Happy to be completely abnormal and not stuck in a restrictive societal box |

Once upon a time I was borderline ‘normal’ as society would have it. I became miserable and in danger of boring myself.
Intentionally broke out of that role and wouldn’t consider myself normal now. But I am so much happier for it.
Lot of good points in this thread. x

I don't know about anyone else, but sometimes I look at other people's normal and think to myself "I don't want to be like them".
But then my normal could be another's insanity

This is exactly the issue! it's why so many people with disabilities struggle to find & keep work and why so many black people are currently protesting against "normal" treatments.
Folk are sick fed up of being hemmed into a one size fits all box, it just doesn't work. |

I think it was your first comment where you stated that more people should aspire to be normal!
Why should they? What do you define as normal? Why can't they just be themselves and be happy whatever that is to them? |

If you asked 1000 NORMAL people if any one of them thought singles and couples on a swinging site looking for others to have sex with was normal at a guess I would say 997 would say. "No that's not normal" the other 3 would be swingers.
