Kind of self defeating really because IMHO psyhologically normal people are also psyhologically ordinary. Anything that is ordinary is also pretty boring IMO,


I'm sorry this may be dumb of me, but what do IMHO and IMO mean?

what do IMHO and IMO mean? In my opinion / honest opinion / humble opinion

My mother used to say
"everyone is weird except for you and me, and even you are little bit weird"

I have no idea whose quote it was but I think it was quite true.

What most people call normal is simply a person whos close to average.


Most people look normal... until you really get to know them, as I said above, deep inside everyone is very different to the rest.

Perhaps they were born so, but after decades upon decades of squelching every last remnant of their individuality in order to better "fit in" are they that way any longer, in any meaningful sense?

No.
