I laugh at people who think they're normal. I laugh at people who think I'm weird. Wanna know why? Because nobody's normal! It's all a matter of perception. There are people who eat paper and never really question it, there are people who would jump into a porno without even thinking about it, there are people who have conversations with themselves and actually learn something. Society has hampered our progress. If more people stopped worrying about being "normal" and "popular" then we'd have more people thinking about new ways to do things, new inventions, people would actually debate each other when a topic rises instead of just going with the flow.

There is no normal but there is a norm and that is what people call normal.

And how is that norm determined?

Norm is determined by social factors like it is normal to see wantabes in big cities but not as normal to see them in smell towns. I have taken psychology in school but I may be off on what I just said, I took it like two years ago in high school.

I have this same logic as well. One time in my art class I was talking to the girl who sat next to me and we had a whole conversation on being normal.

All I say, is that normal is what is typically accepted and typical for that period of time. Weird is what is out of the ordinary, or not normal, for that time. So basically, being normal depends on what people believe in.

This can change though, because thoughts and ideas change. This back to the 70's and the style for clothing and how to live life then compared to now. We may find it a little odd, but they found if completely normal.
