Can anyone describe to me what normal should feel like? As time moves on it becomes less and less clear to me what normal is and what a normal person is expected to act like. Should I just be happy being a twisted form of normal?

A poster here has the perfect response .. Normal is a setting on a dryer. ( props to Halliebeth)
I am me, I'm a human being with a range of emotions same as everyone else. Every person on this planet is in a struggle, ours just has a label.

IMO, Normal is completely subjective.
My normal is not your normal, and vice versa, I believe we all need to decide where our individual settings are on those dryers in our heads. My personal normal? Is when my clothes aren't being ruined and I can wear them out in public no problem

My normal is being happy in my skin. I don't even wanna become what is "normal" in my society lol. I just don't have that in me. So it's about being strong enough when my normal and their normal collides, being able to be percieved normal enough to be able get and hold a job (which was problem in the past, because I was scared I would not be accepted, so I made myself look blah... never really worked out).

There is no normal even among those who do not have a mental illness. We are all different. <3

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
