We want, even need, a baseline from which to measure the world, and this need emerges very early in our lives, probably about the time we realize there are other families besides our own, and that they don't all do everything the way we do. By the time we're mature enough to process that fact (a point some people never do reach) it's so ingrained that we find it difficult to purge it from our language.
"They say you're different."
"I sure hope so! If I wasn't different I'd be the same as all the rest of 'em."
pwhodges:
IOW - individuality is difference.

Anyway, you can consider somebody as "normal" only as long as you don't really know them. That's when you understand they are as strange and far from the "norm" than anyone else. Normality is only an appearance.

I dunno, but who claims/claimed normality is important?
Besides being pretty much undefinable, it also seems extremely unimportant to me to be considered 'normal' (even though I probably am by pretty much everyone).

"Beepatrice." Is Jeph telling us the honey-colored she-bot is a sweetie?
BlueFatima:
I'm totally feeling ya, Roko. I am part of a lifestyle choice that works really, really well for my family and I have about 3-4 very different hobbies (if you include my career choice). I currently have no friends who share my lifestyle choice who I consider healthy/balanced (to the point I am not spending time with others who share my lifestyle—beyond my family), and I've yet to meet any non "crazy" people who share my hobbies (to be fair, I'm not super active in clubs right now).
