Same. People look at me all the time for some reason, although who the fuck knows why.
Comment on Normal people probably don't consider themselves normal.

No one is looking at me and thinking “normal” lol

Honestly, I would. In my opinion, if it exists, then it is normal.
Even what we perceive as shitty/horrid/weird/unorthodox is entirely normal, as everything is part of a deeply complex causal system. We may not fully grasp the tapestry of ramifications which lead to said causal normalcy, but, again, if it weren’t normal, it wouldn’t exist (to further entangle this, nothingness itself thus becomes normal).
Everything beyond that is our biased perception which births opinions. Nothing more. This is not to say that our opinions don’t matter, as some aspects are more constructive than others (eg. honesty vs. deception, life vs. death, etc.) and we have the power to act upon our opinions and directly influence the system of causality within which we exist, which we should do as often and as sincerely as possible.

“Normal” is first and foremost a mathematical concept. And so by definition, everything can not all be normal
latenightnoir@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Respectfully disagree, our interpretation of mathematics is secondary to the entirety of existence. “Normal” is most definitely not exclusive to mathematics, and thus, in this context, entirely unrelated.

Please see updated comment. You were right

It’s just a joke, like saying you have a great face for radio.

It’s also further proof that I absolutely suck at identifying jokes:))
I apologise if I came off as too “dime store philosopher,” this whole normalcy thing has deep roots in my conception. I’ve seen so many people haunted by the feeling of being abnormal (myself included, ngl), that it’s become a sort of a nurturing instinct to try to dispel it as much and as often as I can.
