To study the abnormal is the best way of understanding the normal.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
'Normal' is not clinical, it's not autobiographical, and I don't claim to be objective. It's strictly my perceptions and thoughts about the people that I met and the stories that I heard. It was never meant to be an academic work.
I try to have a normal life since I have an abnormal job.
I don't know what 'normal' means, anyway.
The trouble with normal is it always gets worse.
Normal is in the eye of the beholder.
I shouldn't say I'm looking forward to leading a normal life, because I don't know what normal is.
I had a terrible fear of not being normal - of not seeming normal. So I went to the library and read every psychology book I could find. Anything about how normal people behave.
Normal is not something to aspire to, it's something to get away from.
I am very abnormal... But it wasn't very long ago that I wasn't so abnormal. I was very normal and headed for a lifetime of paying medical bills as proof of my normalcy.
I just try and surround myself, for the biggest proportion of time that I can, with people who make me feel normal, because constantly feeling abnormal is quite difficult.
