Does anyone think of themselves as a normie? I appreciate there are degrees of oddness, but surely we’re all a least bit strange.

Not sure if I’m a normie. Every odd person I’ve met thought they were normal too. That angry guy that stared at you at the train station thought he was a normie.

But why would anyone want to be a normie? I’m not saying I specifically want to be an oddball (although I’m often told I am) but an actual normie, that’s like declaring yourself mediocre. And no, I wouldn’t say you were that!

I would love to be a normie. I believe that life as a normie is a lot easier than when you stick out.

Hmm, I guess I believe that normies are pretending, which I imagine is quite stressful and exhausting.
Being more normal would be easier, it’s true, people get angry a lot when you’re *all wrong* but to not stick out at all, to be part of the constant flow, surely you’d vanish?

Sometimes it is a very good feeling – to vanish. I love to dress myself so that I become invisible. Attention, even the positive, costs energy. I agree however that it is two sided sword. To never be seen would also drive me completely crazy.

Hmm, that’s a brilliant answer, made me think. I don’t think I meant vanish from the view of other people, (because I agree, that’s quite nice) but vanishing from myself, so that I can’t see where I exist or why. Because there are too many people already, and if I’m the same, why bother?

Discussing normie reminds me of the following comment. If you want your child to stand out don’t expect him or her to fit in.

Good point, strange how kids are often expected to do both simultaneously, to be different, but not too different.
