Whatever we experience, we may think of as “normal”. How do you know when something that’s normal to you, isn’t normal for most people? What is it like to discover that you’re way of thinking/being is not normal?

I know it was an epiphany for me to realize one day, that everyone didn’t think like I do. That not everyone crumbled in tears when a mouse died. Not everyone feels horrible remorse over screwing something up. Not everyone worries all the time about saying and doing the right thing. Not everyone is afraid of this or that… etc.
I was shocked at this revelation. It kinda changed my world to realize this back in college. …. my how naive I’ve been
For years I used to obsess about being normal. I wanted to return to the way my life used to be. I wanted this nightmare to end. I couldn’t stand being different. My self-esteem took a hit that I thought couldn’t be repaired. After 14 years of therapy, an extensive self-help library, and thousands of hours trying to heal ny mind, I have come to some conclusions. Many so called normal people do not have a clue about the mind body connection. Many normal people suffer from emotional problems but do not have the courage to go to therapy to fix themselves.I have a disorder but I am alot more normal then the so called normal people.
