Is it normal to wonder if there is a such thing as "normal"

I mean, why is there this idea that it's bad or weird to be different. I admit that I get caught up in the wanting to be "normal" thing and get worried that I am not normal, but as I think about it, what is normal? Why is being unique bad? Isn't everyone different?

    Normal = common. We could just say that we are all weird becourse there are not 2 people that are the same...

    Actually, there is no such thing as normal, because normal only means "conforming to a standard". What we describe as "abnormal" is a general dislike of people who stand out. That's just how society is.

    Being unique isn't "bad". And norms are part of being a society. You should do some research on the subject and you'll feel a lot better about it.

    There is no such thing as normal, you cannot find two people that look exactly to the tee the same with the exact same personality, interests, and thoughts. Society tries to brand what is "normal", but being normal is being unique and being yourself.
