I've been watching The Good Doctor recently. It's a show on Hulu about a surgeon with autism as well as savant syndrome, meaning that he's a genius. Although his communication skills suck, his ability to visualize, see things, and solve problems is extraordinary. In recent episodes, he's talked about "being normal" which made me think of my own life. Although I'm not autistic, I've been called weird, different, strange, and many other adjectives (not all in positive ways), many times in my life. Although I don't think I'm special in any way, I can definitely tell I'm not very "normal." I have fewer emotions than the average, and under average person, I have extreme extroversion tendencies meaning I talk to... everyone, and I am quite unapologetically myself also known as "annoying."
Do you need to be normal? No, be whatever you wanna be. You don't like attention, love routine, and want to keep a small circle? Then don't be a loud clout demon. I'm loud, extroverted because I like attention, spontaneity. I won't say "be yourself" because yourself could suck, surprise, there are bad people in the world, not everyone should here "be yourself" be what you want to be, don't be someone you're not, normal is a stupid word, and maybe this is a stupid post.
Now, speaking on the not being "normal" due to the experiences I've had with other people. Being "different" does give you a different view of life. You see people's nature more often, you see how people react to things, you see, well, humans and people. It's hard to describe, but there are a lot of people that would consider themselves "different" such as autistic people (shout out the good doctor would highly recommend).
Anyways, whether you're autistic, gay, an emotional robot, or "normal" you're awesome, different, or not, you are a person, and that is enough to be awesome. Thanks for reading this post, have a great week.
