There are billions of people and a version of normal to go along with each one of them. No two versions are exactly the same. There will be hundreds of thousands of little things that make up your version of normal. With any luck you can find people that have close to the same idea of what normal is that you do. These are your friends. Anyone else you try to tolerate as best you can.
....
The exact definition of normal depends on who's running the asylum.

5924 - OCD
AH HA! I knew it! People with OCD have a brain chemical imbalance.
I wonder sometimes about OCD, is it something people are born with or can it be acquired? I know someone who was as normal as anyone else but now has to check several times when locking her doors before going out and the same when she comes home. When she visited me, she had to check for herself that I had locked my door as we left to go somewhere. This was right after she had watched me turn the key.
I don't think I know anyone who I would describe as fully balanced.
ReplyDeleteSue - But OCDers are tipped way to one side.

ReplyDeleteI bet brain chemical imbalances are behind a lot of things. We know so little about the brain and how it works.
ReplyDeleteRR - Thanks.
ReplyDeleteDeb - I think brain chemical imbalances are behind everything! 😁
so if only a little ocd then you only have a small chemical imbalance?
ReplyDeletePeg - Yep, just a few wayward molecules.
