I hear so much about people who can't connect to normal people. I'm a normal person and I can't connect to normal people - what's up with that? I'm not brilliant, I'm not talented or gifted. I'm not deep or insightful or questioning. I barely have any interests - yesterday I think I had an actual conversation and it was mostly just the two of us recommending anime to each other. I feel very little towards individuals, even if I want to; I'm often torn between wanting people in my life and wanting to just be left alone, being fascinated and being afraid.

And yet I'm normal. I know I'm normal because I can't relate to people who are not normal. And that actually bothers me, because besides all the benefits of abnormality, I'd at least have a reason for having such a hard time relating and connecting if I wasn't normal.

Wife's definition is what I always thought normal meant, that seemed kind of obvious. I think the whole "normal is subjective!" line is only half-true because of it.
