Are you normal?

What is normal?
In the vast array of human thought and behavior, where is the line that separates normal from abnormal?
I don’t mean abnormal as a pejorative, I use it just to mean outside of the realm of “normal”.
Are extremely creative people normal? What about people with autism? Sociopaths? Professional athletes? The mentally retarded? Physically handicapped?
It’s obviously a word that is dependent on context, but I ask again, do you consider yourself normal?

I don't frick animals if that's what you're asking.

No, I fall into the above normal category.

I think I am but I'm 58, white male, Christian, straight, don't sponge off the Gubmit and pay my taxes, so probably not

I'm self aware enough to acknowledge my peculiarities. I also understand that everyone has peculiarities.
I don't engage in fringe behavior.
While I joke about not being normal, from a general societal/human standpoint, I'm probably normal.

Normal is subjective. Everyone is different. So, in that, we are all the same. I would say that I'm normally abnormal.

I contribute to society, obey laws, and treat everyone with the same level of respect. Yes, I'm a normal person.

This is the OT. We all have larger than normal penises.

Are any of these part of the majority average of the population? If not, then you have your answer.

I don’t consider our lives today very normal, not by any human sense necessarily. If you want to see just how abnormal it is, take away technology and electricity after a solar flare takes it out and see just how abnormal of lives we lived. We would become cannibals in a matter of weeks.

Absolutely not. Some of the bullshite that comes out of my mouth even surprises me

I'm regular if that matters.
