There are no āNormalā people.
I personally do not have the need or urge to spend a lot of time in person with others afflicted with a severe mental illness.
I have been avoiding going to a bipolar support group - Socializing with Depressed and drug or alcohol addicted people (commonly seen with bipolar and sz) would depress me - I would not find this helpful to my recovery.
Neurotypicals do not bother me as a whole - I see everyone as individuals - No one is perfect
Iām not from a family of normal people. My partner is kind of. I try not to tell normals about my illness so the interaction remains a positive one.
I am surrounded with normal people everywhere, and by guessing, they all think I am normal, I know I am not and I came on terms with that. I like the eagerness of normal people, their visions and enthusiasm, I sometimes envy them but later on I look to my self and start searching for a new goal to accomplish. I am extremely professional at work and very serious to others, I think that was the only way I could hide my very emotional self and empathetic self, I am stronger than before and the only reason is that there are many normal people around me, not only normal but also very successful. I donāt accept failure easily and always try to keep my sheet clean. If they can do it then so can I. I donāt have to in first place thatās what I learned but yes I can lead and I can influence. In the poll I voted for neutral because basically thatās what they mean to me after all. The level of their Impact reduces day by day and I due all of that to employment and self care. By the way, I just bought my favorite perfume from the airport and heading back to office tomorrow to fight another day. Thank you @mortimermouse for being a strong person, you were vital to my journey. Best wishes. Q.
Interpreting the question as, āWhat are your opinions on [people without a mental health diagnosis]?ā my answer would be that there are maybe many people suffering from mental illness who donāt have a mental health diagnosis:).
I mean like they actually are neurotypical (thats what we scz call people without any mental disorders) also used in terms of autistic or not
I donāt really know anyone very well that has been diagnosed with a mental illness so normal people are all I know. In general I find them to be very supportive and cheerful. They give good examples of rich and fulfilling lives I think.
I prefer mayonaise Or micky dās hot mustard.
Generally speaking those without prior agendas like bigotry, racism,etc. are pretty cool but I think ānormalā is a very relative label.
Ive seen normal people that are nuttier than me and I occasionally have voices telling me to kill people.
I was married to a normie for 14 years. He gave me a really hard time and would not let me be myself or grow spiritually and creatively. Now Iām married to an autistic man and he is so supportive of all of my interests and vice versa. We help each other cope in a world full of normies who stigmatize us. In my experience, normies are all caught up in making a good impression and they never really find their true selves, so they highly resent those of us who have or are openly on that journey. A few normies are real and compassionate, very few.
This song can be interpreted many ways.
You got that right. Since I came down with my illness I slowly disconnected from societal goals
I think they are here to stay.
What can you do?
