Do you seem “normal” to acquaintances or contacts in real life? Do you think many of these people might accept you as is? Or are they too “normal” for their own good? do you care about not seeming “normal”

How does this vary according to mood status?

I care mostly about whether or not I accept myself. When I am confient in myself others seem to accept me. Not overconfident, but accepting of myself.

I don't know if I seem normal. I don't even know what a general normal for everyone is anymore. There is a 'normal' for me and I think people can tell if my behavior is out of my usual patterns.

I don't care if I seem different. I blend in fine usually, but I don't usually put on a mask just to please people. I have learned to speak my mind in a way that doesn't typically freak people out.

My mood is mostly pretty chill and content. I get upset about the usual stuff, but I'm able to pull myself out of it and get back to where I want to be. I only went way out of bounds the one time I was sick with mania and psychosis. I was terrifying to others in that state. I was terrifying to myself.

What about you Fuzzy?
