2 Cents

Just thought of jotting down what's going on in my head. I notice that when i have nothing better to do, i start thinking. I keep getting random thoughts, from future plans, to movie ideas, some random song that was released ages ago and weird random ideas.

Today, after taking a stroll down the Rundle Mall, Central Business District of Adelaide, i started thinking. Around me are people, people with different personalities, different wants, different needs, and etc. So all of this just comes down to one thing, how do you define someone as NORMAL?

It's been bothering me, and i do question myself, am i NORMAL? I've got bored and i started looking up the definition for normal.

Referencing to http://www.dictionary.com/ and looking up the word normal,

–adjective
1. conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular; natural.
2. serving to establish a standard.
3. Psychology.
a. approximately average in any psychological trait, as intelligence, personality, or emotional adjustment.
b. free from any mental disorder; sane.


Going with the definition stated in 3a, what is the average psychological trait, intelligence, personality and emotional adjustment?

I'm sure mental cases, emos, punks, hippies and etc, may not be considered as normal but i'm sure they consider themselves as normal. So who are the people capable to tell us that you are considered Normal?
If people you consider abnormal says that your normal and think they themselves are normal, does that make you normal or abnormal?

I have an IQ of 130 - 135 from taking those online IQ test. Are those results even applicable? and would i be considered normal?

Think that's all i have at the moment.

P.S. I just have a feeling, people are going to start flaming with the emo chants....
