OP: "Is it normal I never talk to my sister anymore?"
You: "I never to talk to my sister, so yeah, it's normal"
He means whether you compare the questions to your own life to decide whether or not a situation is normal, instead of comparing it to the life to the 'average joe'.
If, say 70% of people believe its NOT normal to like, for sake of example, chocolate, and vote that way, the poll will come out as 70% "It is not normal".
That is NOT representative of the(again, for sake of example) 65% of people who in fact DO like chocolate.
If everybody voted according to their own believes, we would come up with an astounding 65% "it is normal", which is representative of the true fact that, yes, 65% think and act that way, making it normal for 2/3rds of the people.
If everybody instead voted what they THINK the average joe may think, then you would quite possible end up with 70+% "not normal", totally not representing the 2/3rds that actually make it normal.
Know what i mean? This page _CAN_ only work properly and give surprising results if EVERYBODY votes based ont heir own personal views. Through the number of voters, eventually a pattern will emerge that is representative of the real life situation and untainted by what people think that people think.
I think he means that you lie.
Like Op:Is it normal I never talk my sister anymore
You:Nonsense I always talk to my sister and love her very much. Spend more time with your family(You really never see your sister but you did not want to seem like a bad person)
or "I never talk to my sister, and I don't think that's normal, so no, it isn't normal".
It's a lot easier applying scenarios to yourself than someone you've never met. What's wrong with that? Unless you're not being honest to yourself, and choosing an answer to suit your predetermined beliefs. Maybe that specifically is what the OP was getting at?
Have you ever subverted an IIN poll or story?

but i think thats the whole point of IIN.
