I kind of think normal people don’t even exist. Everyone is weird in their own way. What we call normal is just the average of all these uniquely strange individuals - but that kind of person may be nothing more than an abstraction, like saying the average family has 2.5 children.
We assume we’re not normal because we know ourselves in far greater depth than we know others. But we call them normal because, from the outside, that’s how they seem to us. Yet, in the same way, there are people who look at us and see normal.

Everyone is normal.
But at least half of us are not average.
If everyone is normal then noone is normal and that’s okay
