Honestly I don't think anyone knows for sure what 'normal' is. Especially if they claim to.

But I do know, with a relative certainty, that everything you do and have done has NOT been a failure. It's not possible, no matter how much it may feel like it at the moment.

Everyones opinion of success is like everyones opinion of 'normal'.....generally it's a deeply personal discription; for the former we use others as the 'control group' to judge ourselves by, and in the latter we use ourselves as the 'control group' to judge others by. Both are human reactions, and both are flawed.

Try not to be so hard on yourself in either catagory.

I understand what you're saying completely. You took the words right out of my mouth.

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