Weird vs. Normal vs. Different vs. Same
I have discovered something. When people say, "You're weird." Most people who like to get smart with them say something along the lines of, " Well technically speaking, everyone is weird in some way so technically speaking no one is normal." I have found this to be ultimately false.
When people say that no one is NORMAL, what they are really saying is that there is no NORMAL. My theory is this: EVERYONE is NORMAL. Everyone wants to be WEIRD. Everyone is the SAME. Everyone wants to be DIFFERENT. See I have met so many people who say that they are crazy fans of this so and so band or this so and so television show. I have met so many people who say that they are doing ridiculous things or that say that they like the most peculiar things or they spend their spare time doing things that no one would ever really do.
Why do these people do these things? It isn't necessarily because they like the things they are doing or enjoy these things that they are becoming. They just want to be DIFFERENT. People want to stand out. They want to show their originality. They want to be someone who everyone else will remember. Someone who will be remembered for more than just the kid in your math class that you can't recall the name of.
I am not saying that all human beings are exactly the SAME. I am just saying that there is a NORMAL, and everyone starts out that way, and if you trace everyone back to their roots, they're are about as NORMAL as NORMAL can get. People say that there is no real defined terms for NORMAL. I say that in fact there most certainly is.
See, this is how this works. Everyone is generally the SAME. Each person subconsciously realizes that they are the SAME as everyone else. With our human rebellious nature, we all develop a desire to become DIFFERENT. So people begin trying interests in newer things that others wouldn't necessarily be interested in. Because of this, everyone ends up being a bit DIFFERENT. Then there are those who decide that they need to be more DIFFERENT, because just plain DIFFERENT is not DIFFERENT enough. So the people who wish to be more than DIFFERENT, try to make themselves more DIFFERENT. This higher amount of DIFFERENT, is the definition of WEIRD.
Why do we think people are WEIRD? We think people are weird, solely because they are more DIFFERENT, than we are. I say everyone is NORMAL at heart. However, everyone is DIFFERENT appearing to everyone else.
Therefore everyone is NORMAL. It does have a definition. The "WEIRD" people are the ones that are supposedly trying to be more DIFFERENT than the rest of us. I applaud them for being ahead of everyone else. Just make sure that in the process of increasing your WEIRDNESS, that you are still comfortably you.
