It's not really that straight forward as what's normal for one might not be for someone else. Do you see others as coping better with their issues and it make them appear more normal than you are? What steps do you take to cope well?
But overall I have a bit of a problem with referring to people as normal or not normal. By what standards and who determines what psychological issues are deep and what aren't?
I work with special needs population, some struggle with mental illness and some with cognitive or physical limitation. I never thought of them as not normal.
Sure some people cope better than others or some might have bigger issues than others etc etc but that's a different issue all together
In what sense the issue is with how others see you? People consider me normal. I myself consider other people normal to.
But again what's normal? Sure everyone is unique and have unique struggles. I do refer to specific disabilities by naming a disability or illness ( if need to) rather than referring to lack of normalcy.
Do people perceive you as "not normal"? Do they make it known to you? I am sorry if that's the case
