Superb post !
Ive never been labelled normal...at least by family and friends.
I've noticed my generation at least is more at ease (at least at the universities Ive visited) with people who differ from the norm. So I hope it'll spread when our generation gets to the "kid making" stage XD
In any case, Ive never tried to "be" normal. Its warranted some exclusion when I was younger, but now others find my personality interesting XD
When I was younger, I was often thought of as "the weird kid in the corner." I never fit in with cliques or groups in high school... although I did actually relate to many different groups in a minimal sort of way. In life I have sometimes chosen things "just because" and some have been part of popular culture and some have been "unheard of," but I tend to think independently of that.
Thanks for the comment!
No problemo :)
