How much effort do you put into being "normal"?

[Hitokiri_Gensai]

last night i wore heels, jeans and a tank top, matched with a studded leather collar. I dont do normal. i do myself. i enjoy it, most people think im a freak.

When I am at work I have to try quite a bit to keep the real me inside. It's not that I'm a weird guy, I just don't know my coworkers like that. When I am with friends I am more lax, but I really am myself when I am alone. I've caught myself acting flat out crazy before, having an argument with a different side of me. It's rather interesting to look at it in past-tense, but at the time it's just flat out weird.

None. Then again, I'm not a socially awkward introvert that acts like a 14-year-old girl around my friends, so I've got that going for me.

Lesson: Quit acting like a 14-year-old girl. Or something.

Uh, none. I live my life as I see fit. Considering how many public crossplay pictures are floating and linked around here, I'd say it's pretty obvious how little effort I put into trying to follow "social norms".

 

[Blobpie]

I'm always normal!
Of course my definition of normal is me! That makes you all crazy...

I like to believe that there is not such thing as a "normal" person. Im not going to say "we're all unique", im just making the statement that as long as I think no one is normal, then everything I do is more or less awesome.
I live an interesting life...
Would you like to pat my pet Lemur?

None, I couldn't give a fuck about what people think of me.

 

[Crazy_Dude]

Normal is subjective what might seem Normal to me could be seen as very weird to someoene else.

I just try to enjoy life and don't really care what most people think about me.

I have a very active imagination and sometimes when I'm thinking about something I get balled fists and my arms are shivering. I try to hide that =)

 

[tobyornottoby]

People say that ?normal people are just the ones you don't know very well? and I agree with that . everyone has something strange about them that they don?t let the rest of the world know .

That's beautiful =)

As has been said in this thread, there is no such thing as properly normal. There may be certain activities and modes of dressing that society looks down upon but there is NO SUCH THING AS NORMAL. Whereas most animals have something that can be recognised as that animal (cat is a cat, dog is a dog etc.) humans do not.

That said, everyone is unique with therefore could be said to be "normal". So every one of us is as normal as they come!

 

[Hagi]

A decent bit.

I value politeness greatly, so I'll act polite and 'normal' to most people except those closest to me.

 

[Jonluw]

None?
I think I am quite normal without putting much effort into it.

Whereas most animals have something that can be recognised as that animal (cat is a cat, dog is a dog etc.) humans do not.

This statement confuses me.
Care to explain what you mean here?

 

[xXGeckoXx]

I wear hawaiian shirts every day. So yeah...

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

None. I will never be fucking normal. I love being weird and jumpy as I am. For me, being normal is following everyone else, and that's what I will never do.
