How "normal" do you think you are?

Okay there are few factors that should be acknowledged before this poll takes place, because they're usually what comes to mind first when we talk about sanity.

- People may say you're "crazy" or "wacky" or "weird". Doesn't mean you necessarily think you're on the 'fringes' of society. Rather, those people are probably pretty boring.
- You might think that you're slightly unusual and unique because you have "alternative tastes". Reading webcomics, socialising with the internet, strange music tastes etc. This doesn't necessarily make you "abnormal".

The kinds of "norms" I'm suggesting are like:

- interpreting things differently to those around you
- having different priorities to other people your age/gender
- how 'well-adjusted' you are
- how you compare to your friends

I think I'm pretty sane in the sense that I'm focused and kind of know what I want. I have different priorities and ideas to those people around me and sometimes it's frustrating, but I have lots of different friends and never really feel isolated.

IronOxide:
I like to think myself pretty well adjusted, but in many places, that is a deviation from the norm. I pretty much know what I want, I think I am fun to be around, and I can take care of myself. Growing up in suburban America, that is apparently strange.

KvP:
Most people like to say "normal" is a bogus term, but I'm less normal than usual.

ViolentDove:
I'm curious to know whether or not anyone would consider themselves normal.

est:
Compared to the average person I meet in my day to day activities I am about as normal as Tahoma is to Comic Sans.
