Normal People, and why we shouldn't desire to be "Normal" and just be who we are meant to be

There are many types of people in this world, and there are no two people who are exactly a like. So where did we come up with the word "Normal" and when?

Merriam-Webster says Normal is:


: according with, constituting, or not deviating from a norm, rule, or principle


: conforming to a type, standard, or regular pattern


 : of, relating to, or characterized by average intelligence or development 


 : free from mental disorder : Sane
 examples:

  1. They had a normal, healthy baby.
  2. Normal people don't react that way.

So who laid down the line that separated normal people from the not so normal people? Isn't that stereotypical of us to throw whom ever into a category other than normal?

Did the people who laid out this rule of thumb or example of "normal" know that it would later paranoid the society into thinking that maybe they aren't normal and question their own sanity?

Normalcy is totally 1900s being unique is the only way to be because that is how everyone was intended to be. Just because someone doesn't feel a certain way or do a certain thing a certain way or whatever that you picture as being "normal" doesn't automatically throw them in the "not normal" category! I mean who the heck do you think you are for labeling someone you hardly know or someone you do know and have known for years? maybe they have evolved as a famous scientist proved in his theory of evolution.

Everyone you meet on the street is a form of normal...their own normal...some days you may catch them having a bad day some day you may find them having an off day where they just can't think straight...I would like to know who laid down the first example of this "normal" and I seriously doubt anyone is exactly that that first example...we all were formed in the image of God....But we all fall short of the glory of God...we are far from perfect...we all make mistakes....just because we make one mistake doesn't mean we need to be labeled....just because certain things happen to us we should be labeled...just because we react to certain life trials a certain way doesn't mean we should be labeled a certain way...we all are our own form of normal...yes again I say we have off days we also have bad days we also have stumbles and falls along the way...but thats just life...if we always try and reach a stereotypical "normal" or try to achieve "perfection" we will have to look back on our life and realize we wasted our entire life trying to reach something that was right infront of us the whole time...we are all unique...we are all individuals...no two people are the same...not even twins...they look the same...but are totally different than the other in some aspect of their lives...and that is just the way we were intended to be...ourselves....

So stop trying to reach out for a goal that someone decided one day was the base line of human existence/acceptance in society that just turned out to be stereotyping people and throwing them into categories that deem them normal and not normal....making everyone paranoid that they may not be this normal they laid down as the base line of human existence...just be uniquely you and stop trying to please those around you cause you never will long as you keep trying to look to them for approval cause long as they know they have this control over you and you react to their disapproval of whatever it is you are asking them to approve of...they won't just to drive you crazy...just so they can label you not normal....or insane...I say just snap out of it stop depending on a pill to make yourself someone your not...because you will always be you no matter how hard you try to change...you lived through what you lived through and there is nothing you can do to change that either...you just learn to live with the facts of what happened...and learn to cope with them rather than run away from them or try and cover them or numb them...they will always be there there is nothing you can do or say to erase what is already done...you can only look forward and make the life you have worth living by making choices that help aid you in being the unique person you were meant to be...and if anyone gets in your way as to who you are to be...you don't need that person in your life anymore they are just trying to keep you down under their thumb and use you as a puppet...don't let them control you anymore...ya their words they speak maybe painful...as it is intended to be painful...so stop letting them rule over your world and start taking charge of your own destiny and thats you being you!

I hope this helps someone out there suffering from self esteem issues I am desperately trying to make this my life's moto...and live by it...wish me luck!
