Question

Is there even a such thing as "normal"?

Normal does not exist.  And if it does, they must be some boring people!

That's like "what is life?"  What's normal for you may not be to me.

Answer 5

Answer 6

I dont believe so. Its all in our minds.

Answer 7

I wouldn't know because I'm what people would call 'abnormal'........haha =)

Answer 8

everyone's opinions differ

Answer 9

Yes, there is...society determines what 'normalcy' is, and each society is different and changes it's views in time. So really, 'normal' is always different and undergoing changes.

But I don't let other ppl decide what's normal for me, so I don't care.

Answer 19

No, I don't think so. It is just a made up word to make us feel strange.

Answer 20

if there is I seem to have misplaced it a long time ago.

Answer 21

No Just varying degrees of acceptability In a fluid society.

Answer 22

Maybe

Answer 23

Normal is only an imaginary standard. It doesn't really exist, EXCEPT, I think it can be used to describe something such as a bodily part's function. For example, "My toe's green" That's not normal.

However, as far as personalities and general things, normal doesn't exist! EVERYONE is strange in some way, therefore to be strange would be to be normal, which would mean that there is no normal...

Whoa! That took a lot more brain power than I thought! Lol
