I think normal is the word we use for conditions of basic utility and standards of reasonable/decent/good enough. Then there is the plus side of the scale which is optimal, joyous, fun, plenty, suportive, building. And the negative side of the scale which is non functional, stressful, extremely difficult, hardship, destructive. Also normal would have occasional forays into both plus and negative sides, but not chronically. For example getting dressed. Normal is generally finding something to wear that is appropriate for the occasion within a reasonable amount of time and feeling satisfied or meh/ambivilant but fine. you might have to hunt through the socks for a match, but it's easy enough to find a pair, or grab a shirt from the dryer. But it's not a particularly difficult task. Things generally fit, are not too ratty, and look reasonbly well on you. The plus side, everything is clean, put where it belongs, it fits, feels great, and looks awesome. Dressers and closets are easy to close and open and find things. Accessories have homes and are readily available. The negative side, getting dressed is a major ordeal, time consuming hunting for things only to not find it, it's dirty, or ruined, settling for something because it is there and will cover your butt even though you hate it. Things are too big, too small, look aweful, have holes, have stains or ripped, or just don't suit you. Constantly hunting under over behind, not enough and too much An old post but felt the need to remind myself that normal is not perfection

"Normal" means functional I think? Sometimes it's good to get away from being like everyone else so we can use our creativity to solve our problems.

Oh goodie closetofchaos I shall keep on being creatively Not Normal. As I'm typing I'm thinking of mood scoring scales . The midpoint might be 5 but normal is between 4 & 6 .. Regular life , and our bodies regularly throw us to a low 4 or a high 6
