Why do we want to be normal

But we also want to be special?

The older I get the more different I seem to other people. Gave up trying to be normal and have focused on being me.

@Hanging2 that’s all you can be

Cause we want to fit in and be accepted but also stand out from the crowd

@celine211 it seems like a bit of a paradox but yes indeed

@Fallflower yeah are made from a series of condrudictions

Good question. I think most of us want to be on the special end of the normal range.

Because both general social acceptance and closeness to certain people are important for maintaining healthy self-esteem. Different people require different amounts of these things, but I think that deep down everyone values them.

@SW-User you broke it down quite well

We can be special and normal. Everyone has their own unique skills, abilities, and personalities. We are also special to some people:)

@ravenwind43 if we’re lucky 😊

@Fallflower I'm not lucky in a romantic sense but I do have friends and family I am important to ☺ Normalcy is also perception.

Most people want to be "normal" so they don't stand out so much. But...we want to stand out enough so that others notice us.

Fallflower · 46-50, F

Zaphod42 · 46-50, M
@Fallflower Nah, I'm just a little normal I think, and even that is probably a matter of opinion, lol 🤓

Normal? what's that?
Fallflower · 46-50, F
@Beebo I dunno?
NewBeginnings7790 · 41-45, F
I don’t believe in normal
I'll take normal any day.
Perhaps we want to be unique—but not in a [b]negative[/b] way. 😏
