I once had someone who learned about my past ask, "But, you seem so normal! How do you do it?" Told her I'm just pretending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[right][snapback]785075[/snapback][/right] [/quote] I just could never get used to typing out "you all" or "you guys" when I NEVER say those things in verbal conversations. I have always said y'all... Anyhoo, I would argue that there is no such thing as normal, even if the definition of "normal" is "whatever the majority is doing". Because yes, there is a LOT of evil in the world, but there are also a lot of ill-formed consciences... so I dunno. Maybe I'm just rambling, but it seems to me that to be sane is more imortant. But I do know what you're saying, I think. I think I'm confusing myself now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[right][snapback]785056[/snapback][/right] [/quote] what is sanity, anyway? who decides what is sanity? To me, sanity and normalcy are the same things. and there's no DSM diagnosis for "freaking weird." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She wouldn't give you a job you're not qualified for... you'll do fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
