I've never known normal, and to be blunt enough about it, no one in my family has ever considered me even vaguely normal. Tested "gifted" very early, and I guess they just figured since I'd always perform well enough to support myself one way or another, that it was best to just leave my eccentricities alone. Great plan /s, though from an outside observers point of view, you'd have to acknowledge that it looks like it worked.
Still, I'll sometimes dwell on a "what if", where I would wonder what would have been, had I talked to a psychiatrist in my teens or early twenties.
