"Normal"? Who is?

What the heck is "Normal" anyway? Maybe everyone on this site is "Normal", and those who aren't, are just pretending to have it "all together".

The term normalcy was coined to represent what a functioning society needs to be safe. As long as a behavior isn’t dangerous to society, then it’s normal. But what is considered dangerous to one culture is not considered dangerous to another culture. Humans make those decisions and as we know, humans err and make bad decisions. Some people are overly influenced by peer pressure, and some are not. If all of us thought or acted the same, we’d probably still live in caves. But hopefully, a door would be generally accepted and thought of as normal. Viva La Differance…..🥳

YES!!! I understand you're a teacher. That is awesome, btw. I used to help teach those with special needs when I lived in the States. I remember something of my students said that made me sad (it actually made me so sad it got me angry enough to want to make an announcement to the whole school about the term "nerd"). You know how in school they have days where you dress up? Well, they were having "nerd day" at the high school. My student hated that term because he thought that that's what he and my other students were. That was a lightbulb moment for me.

My students were normal for them.

I think "normal" is when you are comfortable with yourself and don't give a frick if you are normal or abnormal, whatever that may be nor care what others think of or how they perceive you.
