When being different, making minor mistakes, not in line with authority = verbal, emotional and physical abuse, it can feel hard to realize that normal is a setting on a dryer and not reality.

We're all different, we're not cookie-cutter people in a cookie-cutter world, no matter how much culture and advertising try to make us. There's going to be disagreement by somebody no matter what you do--not because you are wrong or weird, but people just disagree, sometimes just to disagree.
