    Seems like a stupid damned question. As a matter of fact in reference to a person's behavior, asking "is that normal?" seems generally a far less useful question than the question "is that reasonable?".

    *shrug*

    IMO, don't worry about normal.

    Be reasonable.

    I guess you have to ask this question in a relative context. Maybe you are very normal in certain conditions. Maybe you are abnormal when judging with sciforum standards.

    People always think I am normal until they get to know me. Because I look ordinary.


    Where is the poll?

    I second that motion.

    As I've said before, normal is boring.

    Well, okay I'm partially normal. Mostly when it comes to boobies.

    people really think you're normal? you must be excellent at hiding it.
    it's true, i'm not normal either. i think we'd have a lot of fun minus the computer and plus a few bottles of aquavit.

    That is before they talk to me. So usually I don't say much if I want to make a nice impression. Then I am just shy instead of the weirdo.

    I feel stupid when people ask rethorical questions and I bother to answer them.

    you know sadly it was that I was listening to the radio.. the host was talking to a girl who had lost her father to war as a child. he was asking her is she thought of him a lot and what it would be like if he were around. she said yeah and he said something like "well I think that's pretty normal". which brought the question... wha???? normal? it is reasonable seems like a much more clear point, so I posted something aboot it.

    I'm sure that there are normal people on this forum though.

    Well it took you quite some time to find this thread.

    Is losing it part of being normal or abnormal?

    Sorry...I am going to bed now I think.

    I think that to sustain a normal mental health it is of great importance to get enough sleep. Obviously I have been slacking in keeping up with my obligatory nocturnal resting periods.

    Sleep is a good factor for "normal" behaviour. I find people who have a lack of sleep tend to act rather strange.

    Being "normal" today is a means of denying your true self to both yourself and others. What's the point of living then? And people who get overly embarresed and cry over doing something slightly uncool or abnormal should be shot on sight.

    I'm abnormaly normal when it comes to being called normal but sometimes I find that abnormal behavior makes me feel normal around certain abnormal people.

    In a weird way that made sense. I find that I have to dumb down my behaviour because the normies get uncomfortable about me. I still say talking about circumcising oneself in a restaurant is perfectly acceptable behaviour!

    I gave up living for others at a young age. Here I stand before you....confused!

    I don't believe in normal people.

    Some flaunt their abnormalities, some don't but I have yet to know someone really well that is utterly normal.
