People worry themselves over so many neurotic angsty things - does normal doesn't exist: If you are otherwise happy, then who cares if you like the smell of cow dung, occasionally see a film on your own (shock! horror!) or still hope for a Backstreet Boys reunion?
That's very true...what is "normal" is relative to each culture and society.
The problem comes in when human populations explode, normalcy becomes at the same time rigid and flexible and fluid, completely confusing everyone with competing concepts. And then there's globalization...!
being normal if you think about it is not really possable, because if you were normal you would not be different. like calling someone weird i take it as a complement cause to say that means your calling the person different and unique even if it was not intentioned.
Of course there's a normal. All that means is that behavior is predictable. Is it not? Very few people are completely unpredictable. Even those who are off a baseline, are still 'normal' within their category. Like a serial killer....while that's not typical in general, serial killers have their own set of 'normal', which makes them predictable for what they are.
Not really, the deeper you look into an individual regardless of being a serial killer or not the harder it gets to generalize their actions. They may have things in common with people but their motives and methods are all different.
That's like saying because we all have skin, we are all the same. Or, because dogs and humans are mammals, dogs and humans are the same!
Sure, whatever you say. Typical, everyone thinks they are so unique. Get over it, you're NOT.
All sorts of professions use your predictability to get over on you. From advertising to law enforcement to the military, they are taking advantage of knowing how you think, predicting your reactions and behaviors. And obviously, it's working.
