    By “normal” I don’t mean having no emotions or anxieties at all. I mean not having significant visible mental health problems.

    Not sure what your last sentence has to do with anything. “Normal” people existed both before and after capitalism, and it’s perfectly natural, healthy, and achievable to some to have no significant mental health disorders.

      The terms normal, healthy, and natural evolve depending on cultural and scientific ideas. Being gay is natural again, but some don’t like the word because they associate it with hate. Normal is a word I associate with hate and exclusivity. I have always been, and always will be, abnormal.
