Like you had thoughts you've always wished to have; what you see in normal people with healthy minds around you....

Did you ever feel normal?
- Thread starter CursedSoul
- Start date
I have had moments, like once every 4-5 months, where I have felt normal for the better half of a day. You know one of those days where you just fit in, everyone gets you, you just say the right things at the right time and people around you actually care. It's a very beautiful feeling, but unfortunately that never lasts

I did up until two years ago. Only starting to feel normal these last couple of months; hope this leads to a state of constant normalcy for the rest of my life.
Congrats, Do you have any tips on getting normal?

MotherWolff felt normal as a little girl. But as MotherWolff hit puberty that's when the normalness went far, far away....

I don't think so. As a child I always felt on the outside of things, though I was quite sociable. I did try to talk to people. I lacked social skills though and my mother has some mental health issues, some of the things she taught me left me with a bit of a skewed perception of the world. I was pretty popular at one stage during my teens. When I got into my first major relationship and left home, I began to realise that my world-view was pretty messed up, and that my mother was really quite ill. It's taken me some time to diffuse her ideology from my own, and I still feel like I'm doing it.
As I've grown older I definitely have moved further towards social reclusion. Partially due to the lack of social skills/weird ideation, partially due to some traumatic relationship experiences. I also have other mental health issues which have led me to withdraw due to intense feelings of shame, regret, fear and embarrassment. I definitely don't feel normal.

No... Except for once, very briefly... Back when I was 13... In cookery class... A friend had forgotten to bring one of the ingredients we needed, my crush had bought extra so he offered her his extra... At which point she decided she really "liked" him... Well, something clicked in me and I decided to embarrass her... I went over to my crush and told him... He responded with "oh, well, tell tell her the feeling's not mutual, but I'm very flattered, so thank you." Which made me happy... I returned to my friend and she was giggling and bright red then she said "Why can't you be normal like this more often? It's so much more fun!" But then, I returned to my normal self, which is completely abnormal compared with everyone else lol.
No wait... I lie! I was "normal" one other time too... Around the same time, maybe a little later, I may have been 14... another friend was play-fighting with a boy I said "You'd better watch out, people will get the wrong idea, you look like you're trying to dance with each other!" Which made them instantly break apart and say "ewww!" lol. (For the record, they were never interested in each other, they were only friends) And again I got the comment "Yay! You should be normal like this more often."
It's rather sad to think that such simple little comments were so far from normal for me, and yet so much more like normal to everyone else... Ah well, I care not. I revel in not being "normal", I'm proud to be abnormal lol. ^_^

I've never felt completely normal. There have been times when I've felt a little "less weird", but I've never really known what normal feels like.

I feel mostly normal. I just have certain quirks when it comes to interacting with other people.
What is normal? I was more social and less sensitive once upon a time. People look at me like I'm crazy when I talk or they're like omg she's saying something? You know the look? When everyone else is talking they get nothing out of the ordinary, but when I talk I get the sharp cut and constipated frown look. Maybe it's just the people I know. I went to a birthday party Saturday and every time I spoke I got a -_-, :-( * blink blink*, their emotions changed really quick. It didn't hurt my feelings by making me sad, mad or anything It was just intimidating.

I honestly cannot remember ever being "normal". But that doesn't bother me one bit, I live my life in abnormality, I couldn't stand being "normal". I go out of my way to not be "normal". It's just the way I am.
Now that doesn't mean I walk around with pig organs hanging from my body or stapling skittles to my face or anything bizarre like that.
