Normal is what is familiar to us and what makes us feel comfortable, secure, or even bored. Seeking out the abnormal, or asking what other people find normal, is stimulating and healthy. But it's always good to have a sense of normal to fall back on 🙂
@SunshineGirl That is how the conversation started yesterday. How does it feel when you move out of your “comfort” zone and experience others normal. It was interesting to see how and where some lines were drawn and how open some of us were to different experiences and lifestyles. Fascinating to see human behavior.
Normal and reality, they are different for each of us as well as in our collective groups. What is normal for me is wacky to my own mother. But she and I together have our own normalcy that is different from my own, or me with my family.
When I am working or awake at night, I need to eat. So, I used to search jars at midnight, when was at parental place & when I didn't do such searches, my abnormalcy used to be the burning topic over the morning bfast.
Normal is what the majority does/thinks/has. Loving feet like I do is not normal because most people do not love feet. So liking feet is the opposite of normal: weird.
But what matters is that it doesn't matter if something is normal or weird. Normal does not equal good and weird does not equal bad.
@FeetAreFantastic That’s kind of the point isn’t it? And does the majority define what’s normal or what they expect? And I have always subscribed to the notion that weird is wonderful!
@FeetAreFantastic normal means what's my thing. That way, approach to look at things wud change easily like whatever others are into wud be taken casually too.
