yeah. everyone is odd in one way or another, but there is an accepted standard that a high amount of people fall into in most categories.
this range is called "normal"

of course nobody can be the perfect average person in every aspect possible. it would be statically impossible.

but if you are normal enough then i don't see why anyone would call you anything but normal

I think that the line from The Incredibles says it best...
Mom: Everyone is special
Son: Which a way of saying that nobody is.

There's certainly a range for each trait and behavior which is considered normal, fall within the range for enough of them and you're normal.

There is a normal person... just like there are frictionless plains. It's a concept that is valuable to study, but lacks existance in the known universe.

yes, many of todays youth are normal. Teenagers spend all their time watching MTV, reading cosmo and maxim, and basically have created their own type of person. The fact that so many of them are alike makes me think of them as "normal" people. Being normal is bad, because it means you're just a pawn. You have no opinion, no desire to be your own person, like a barbie doll or something
