    Yeah i don’t like the contempt behind calling people “normies”. It goes to great lengths to erase personal experiences and suffering. Many people who get called “normies” are also neurodivergent and very much uneased by some situations. It’s not a clear binary…

        Afaik some people assume others are normies as long as they’re able to engage in some form of social interactions with normies. But your special ways aren’t written on your forehead and may arise in specific circumstances. My point was that there’s not as many “normies” as we think and most of us weirdos get better at pretending to fit in (or actually fitting in) over the years, something the “normie” binary doesn’t account for.
