I added a bit of content to the post you quoted, before you replied:Rev Erebus said:
I'm not saying you're abnormal. I'm saying you've got a standard of what is and isn't normal based on what most of you do. That's how normal works.
No 'Normal' people here?

Of course it seems irregular to the outsider.
That being said, people tend to get along well with each other once you pass that 1k posts mark.
Things like presentation, post count, and reputation count for much more here than other boards.
To each their own!
Edit: Due to the nature of most posters here, prepare for a large amount of flames and arguments over the definition of normal and other-such TEDIOUS hair-splitting.
I'm normal, the shiny pixies told me so! =D
But really, normality is like appearance, how normal someone is, or how attractive they are, is entirely based on the observer's opinion.

What if I told you insane was working fifty hours a week in some office for fifty years at the end of which they tell you to piss off; ending up in some retirement village hoping to die before suffering the indignity of trying to make it to the toilet on time? Wouldn?t you consider that to be insane? - Serial Killer from con air
which proves the point normal is opinion

Normal is opinion? I think you mean sanity. Normal is the prevailing traits within of a group.hxcfreak said:
It's not an opinion - what normal is can be fact. But, remember, just because something's common doesn't mean it's right. Fifty million smokers can be wrong.
It seems to me that you have some basic misunderstandings of the human race. Let me help you.
You see, it is "normal" for people to have some sort of defects such as the ones you mentioned. Everyone has something or other "wrong" with them. I put the word "wrong" in quotations because it is not necessarily bad to have a defect with your character. It is completely natural.
I don't know what your definition of a "normal" person is, but it seems that you define a normal person as "perfect." And there is no such thing as a perfect person.
So in fact, the true case is the opposite of what you claim. It is normal to have something wrong with you, so the majority of people here are normal.

And OCD isn't necessarily that extreme. It can be extremely varied. I have a bit of OCD, it can be as simple as seeing my computer moniter slightly crooked and being really bothered by it until I fix it. A lot of people have some degree of OCD, and it is perfectly normal.ThrobbingEgo said:
I have no physical or psychological disorders but that doesn't mean that I hold mediocrity (by which I mean the property of being unremarkable, hovering close to the Median of performance and with the most commonly recurring personality traits, whether genuine or staged)in high esteem so I do not try to be 'normal'.
Then again, I suspect that not many people really do, no matter what they have been lead to believe, otherwise 'normal' people would not obsess over celebrities and 'freak shows' the way that they do, as they always have and likely will always do.

Everyone suffers from what I've decided to call "snowflake sheep syndrome" (everybody thinks themselves to be unique and different but the problem is thats now become the norm and people are all like sheep),
Where everyone needs to be unique and have something to define them themselves in today's fast passed and identity blending world. For some people this will be a disease or condition which they may genuinely have but which they will still capitalise on as their "selling point", everyone does it and everyone thinks no one else does it.

For one thing, smarter people tend to have some quirk with them. Also, the internet generally attracts geeky people like ourselves. That's probably why "normal" people are in the minority. And of course, normal people are boring.
No normality? I think you've mixed up your ideas mate. On this forum it's normal to behave and talk the way we do. Problem solved.
Yeah but it just seems so weird that probably like 75% of people here have some sort of (serious ish) disorder, whereas I know only like 3 people with a disorder irl..Bigfootmech said:
