Nobody take offense to this, as I am not referring to anything said here... But, when somebody tells me that "there is no normal" I literally want to punch them in the face.

Why?

Its SO normal to not be able to function to the point of being able to have a job.

Its SO normal to not be stable enough to enter into relationships of any sort.

Its SO normal to live on a rollercoaster where you can't plan a damn thing because you never know what tomorrow will bring.

And best of all... Its SO normal to not even have my basic needs met. Safety, anyone? (Pyramid of human needs, right above food/shelter/water.) Oh, sorry, you take this one for granted and have NO idea what its like to not feel safe. You have NO idea what its like to know you would simply walk away from everyone and everything just to feel safe for once. NO, this isn't NORMAL!

I could go on... (Thank you, PTSD!)

So please, don't you DARE lecture me that there is no "normal" when you yourself are normal and have everything that I can only dream of having. (Again, vent to those who have lectured me on normal, not a reply to anything said here.)

Thanks for letting me get that out. It was good to vent, but still, I know I will still feel the urge to punch people IRL who tell me "there is no normal". I don't though, because well, I am not a violent person. Nevertheless, the urge is still there.

I guess its kind of like the rich person telling the homeless man that money doesn't matter. Same darn thing.

Sorry, not very chipper with this one, but yeah, it really gets my goat.
