What is Normal?

[Professor James]

To Clarify, what exactly is a normal person and what do they do, what do they look like.

 

[Doitpow]

normal is perpendicular to a tangent.
and as my capcha says: end of story.

 

[DrRockor]

Normal is very subjuctive to location, culture and subculture. To be honest I've lost track of whats considered normal in the majority of society now anyway. I think it has something to do with wearing too much fake tan and being a terrible role model.

 

[Da Orky Man]

About all I know about normality is that I'm not.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Normal is not bludgeoning a priest to death with a badger.

Spoiler: Standard deviation

I think in psychology at least, and maybe psychiatry, something is classified as abnormal if it has a standard deviation greater than 2...basically meaning the feature is very far away from what you would normally expect.

Although normality is a very subjective thing. A lot of people would find someone believing that God is talking to them completely different from believing a little green man is talking to them.

I think "normal" is a thing of general consensus, not necessarily about the average/majority. Things that the society generally accepts to the point of indifference are the "normal" ones, I suppose.

Normal is what seems in the norm for you.

 

[Lionsfan]

Normal is the exact opposite of whatever you are. Sorry dude, but you'll never be normal[footnote]Ok, that was just a joke, seriously there's no such thing as normal when it comes to humans and personality[/footnote]

 

[DkLnBr]

Normal seems to be everything i dont do and nothing that i do.

Normal is the exact opposite of whatever you are. Sorry dude, but you'll never be normal

how did you know what I would say before I said it?

 

[RevRaptor]

Normal is a swear word we use to describe people too stuck up to enjoy life the way we do.

Relax I'm kidding, well sorta. I'm a cosplayer and a kinkster and have had more than one "Normal" person tell me my deviant ways are going to send me straight to hell.

 

[ThePS1Fan]

as most people have to eyes.

How do I eyes? How is this important to be normal

 

[Deathmageddon]

There's a saying that people in marketing have that goes: "YOU ARE NOT NORMAL!"

 

[Wackymon]

Normal? What is this 'Normal' you speak of? There is no such thing as 'Normal,' its just a misconception of the populous as to what does not seem to be similar to everything else.
