No 'Normal' people here?

That gun isn't half as scary as your moobs.

 

[ThrobbingEgo]

no such thing as normal only acceptable

Uh, there is such thing as normal. I wouldn't argue that all things normative are meaningful or important, but such a thing as normal does exist. It just doesn't mean what most people think, so long as you don't believe there's a way human beings are supposed to be.

that's what i mean there isn't a normal way to be or act just acceptable whats normal to one person is completely off the wall for someone else

Of course there's a normative way to act, given certain demographics. Normal works just fine if you account for cultural relativism.

Being a regular on here for a while I've noticed there are a lot of people who have disorders and manias and OCDs and whatnot. For example when I was browsing a 'What's your disorder' topic a while ago there were like 20 pages and there were no posts that had like a minor thing.

Is it really that 'bad' around here?

Are 'normal' people in the minority over here?

Again: no offense to ANYONE

EDIT:

As you should have been able to read: with normal I mean not having disorders and such..

I was unaware that OCD made me so outlandishly Bizarre.

Look! There are sixteen pennies on your desk. Four is the square root of sixteen. Something is going to go horribly wrong!

I don't mean to make light of your condition, or hurt your your feelings, but you have to admit that it's pretty bizarre.

 

[Jennacide]

I'm not even sure there is a 'normal' anymore. I'm probably as close as anyone can be, with minor OCD things like straightening my game/music discs in thier case. But I'd never go through them to make sure they are straight, just whenever I use them, to make them look neat when put away. Everyone has something like this.

Also got a horrible case of RLS and refuse to take some stupid pills over it.

 

[SultanP]

I doubt there are more "normal" people anywhere else, I just think that people usually try to hide their quirks, and as such appear more normal. But everyone has something about them that's a bit off.

Well the example you gave is nothing close to what my OCD is about. I alphabetize stuff and just have to keep my house clean, i Almost look at it as a perk, as I don't let it get to me to badly. It stops me from procrastinating on a lot of things and helps me write better music . (OCD, people tend to think weird things can sketch us out and for some people it is like that, but for me its more or less trying to make sure everything I do is perfect. Surprisingly enough I could care less about maxing out achievements.)

Cool. I think I need that. As a side note, I know a few people with the "random things sketch me out" flavor of OCD. Apparently there's a teacher at my old school who arranges things on his desk just to bug them.

well how about me i am someone who is big in the underground black metal scene my appearance always gets reactions from people when i walk around town i am being called every name under the sun from freak to fag i live with my g/f pay all my bills on time do everything a "normal" person is suppose to do but because of my music taste and appearance to everyone i am abnormal yet in my eyes i see these people as sub-human people because of the way they see people once i had a guy who is constantly being arrested by police for breaking into houses/fighting/drug dealing/stealing cars/has several children with different women call me a complete freak it just makes me laugh when people use the word normal

Normal people use punctuation.

Also, I'm sure there are normative appearances and behaviors in your underground black metal sub-culture.

Basically this. As for myself, I don't have any noticeable disorders or conditions as far as I know of, so I suppose I'm pretty "normal" as per your definition. Though I do sometimes feel like my mind is slipping at times, so I'm not quite sure...

 

[Spirit_Of_Fire]

I would call myself a "normal" person even though I have mild, high functioning aspergus, which means I have better senses than most and I am good at retaining information. I have noticed that a lot of people on here have what society calls "disorders", but you can't really tell.

 

[sneak_copter]

Well, I'm normal. ish.

 

[Adam]

Strange thing about that 'disorder' forum was that I can bloody well guarantee that every single one of those people were normal, they just voted and said they had something wrong with them because thats the new pity trend nowadays and instead of actualy having any personality, little emo whiny dipshits think that slapping on a 'disorder' will make them special. All it really does is insult the people who really do have mental problems...also I think hitler was right! He was just an under-achiever

 

[ThrobbingEgo]

no there isn't actually of course there are a few people who think somethings should be done a certain way but when isn't there people like that

You're saying that most people in your scene don't dress somewhat alike? I mean, you identify yourself as being a part of a scene. That means you're conforming to their social norms, not general society's.

If you didn't, you wouldn't have mentioned that you dress and act that way because of black metal.

Normalcy is a joke. Its an imaginary belief made up by facists to show how perfect their super soldier program has progressed. Nah, I'm kidding.
People have been messed up for years, they just didn't have the tools to identify it.
To make matters worse, a large number of mental disorders are linked to stress. Most adults spend a large portion their lives under tremendous amounts of it. Talk to most working class individuals, and there'll be something amiss. Stress is a part of life, unfortunately relaxation and release are not.
For example -
I was fully diagnosed with various things at 15, however they didn't come to light until I was 17 and moved out on my own. It got significantly worse when my other half lost her job and we were forced to survive for months on only one income. When this happened, a full bi-polar episode occurred on an almost weekly basis.

If you don't have something "wrong" with you, then it just means that you're lucky.
Not to say you are bad for not understanding, or being a part of it. So please don't think that. And don't feel bad, you're a part of the team, the first time I read the original post, my psychoanalytical mind exploded with "Mild Narcissistic" case.

Ah I'm kidding.

Um, Hitler would have killed me because of my ethnicity. Surely you don't think he was right.

Also, there's a wide gulf between a learning disability and "mental problems."

Or when you posted a topic about disorders a hypocondriac could have seen the thread and decided that they have problems, alot of kids at the school I graduated from said they had OCD because they ate their food diffrently, alot of people think they have problems, but posting that you have a problem makes you look interesting

 

[GodsOneMistake]

Nobody is Normal, there is no such thing as Normal. Everyone has their issues, and if you think your normal i guarantee your probably really fucking boring
