> Normality, if it exists, scares the He** out of me. I am not saying that I really like the way I am at the time, but I'd rather be me then "them." At least that what I tell my-self on some days…
I think that, after being around people that call themselves "normal" - and have a misguided, half-witted, potentially dangerous idea that they could "help" me to become "normal" - that I would rather be myself. Depressed, miserable, unmotivated, useless, purposeless maybe, but *me* nonetheless.
Sometimes, "normal" people are no good for the soul, particularly if they make you feel inadequate or subhuman when you're around them. Respect is everything... including the respect and RIGHT to be whoever you really are!
