That's a kind of slippery question to me due to the different things normality can mean to different people. Logically, I'd differentiate between a "less (worse) than normal" and a "more (better) than normal". For a kid who grows up feeling like a social reject, normality might seem aspirational. For an average kid normality might seem boring. They'd reach for something more: uniqueness and (positive) individuality to differentiate themselves from their peers.
Is normality preferable to individuality?

That is a great observation. I completely agree.
