Are You Normal? - Deepstash

Are You Normal?

Am I Normal? It's common to wonder whether we're normal, but we might want to use caution.

But what does normal even mean, anyway?

Well, I guess that depends on how you define it. Since the 1500s, we’ve attached a host of other meanings to the term. Here are a few:

“Conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular; natural”

“Serving to establish a standard”

“Approximately average in any psychological trait, as intelligence, personality, or emotional adjustment”

“Free from any mental disorder; sane”
