I have to beg to differ with you on that one Byz. I think that for me, as I cannot speak for anyone else, I've never known anyone else who's admitted to mental illness and was in treatment. So a lot of the things I do, I have wondered about and many of the things make me feel much, much weirder than I probably am. Mostly because I feel so alone and disconnected. Sometimes just having another person say "I do that too!" can greatly reduce the amount of stress I put on myself to appear more normal, because for good or bad, having one other person in the world to relate to helps me feel better. I believe its a human characteristic to look for people who are similar to you.

Now, I will agree that trying to fit yourself into ANY mold, whether that be of a mentally ill person, or anyone else, you can obviously head down a bad path of trying to mimic someone else.
