Happy, normal people

[Frank-The-Hedgehog]

I don't normally go out, but when I do, I just find people with smiles on their faces, talking to each other, having physical contact with one another about pointless things. Is that what normal really is? A happy middle class family? College students hanging out with their friends? A straight couple leaning on each other?

I just don't understand it, at times I feel like I am from another race than they are, and at times I feel like they treat me the same as well, with the way they just feast their eyes at me, like I am some kind of strange object that is just "abnormal".

And the thing is, I don't even remember how I detached myself from those people, nor do I remember how to be like them. I can just remember how mother always told me to "be normal" as a child, and when I asked her how, she never really gave me a proper reply.

How can you even be happy in a time like this? How could you be satisfied with the way this society work? How do you be normal? Even after reading numerous books about human physiology I could not find the answer, and why am I asking you? I am not. But do feel free to post your opinions on this subject.

ok heres the thing people arent happy with the way society works so they hide behind the few good things in their lives. All these stories about rape,murder and theft nad all that people dont care as long as it doent happen to them. Huamn beings are genuinly selfish theres no getting around it so when something bad is going on but they arent affted by it they just pretend to be happy but as soon as someone rapes them and someone in their family or kills someone in their family all of a sudden they ae pissed that no ones is doing anything. Not only that but then theres that be happy nothing can bring you down bullshit they feed you in schools. People refuse to accpet nad recognize the absurdeties and corruption around them.

im sure i got completely off topic but who really cares?

Why make yourself depressed over stupid shit... I've seen hobo's that are "happy" and "content" they try to make the best of things... not think about all the shitty things going on in their life.

Do you mean psychology, or are you reading physiology books?

I ask myself these same questions almost everyday and don't really come up with an answer. I hop on the train and all I see are a bunch of mindless drones buying in to society and our complete lack of culture, hopelessly going to work and going back every morning just for the small CHANCE of a two week vacation in Hawaii in ten years. What bothers me the most is how everyone is okay with this lifestyle. We rule the earth, and as a species have absolute control over everything, why does life have to be so shitty and ridiculous? We go to school all our lives so we can work the rest of our lives and retire to see our pensions disappear at which point we all die alone. And yet, this is all totally cool with everyone?

I've always been a bit of a hippie, and maybe that's where I get all these negative thoughts from, but I find myself wishing sometimes even praying that i'd just end up one of those people with kids and a family and a career, completely satisfied with life and death. Perhaps because I am not one of those people, I think this way.

I attribute it all to be young. I'm sure there is much wisdom left to be gained. Maybe that will be humbling.

It is the matrix , conform or the smiths will delete you.

I havent been happy in 5 years

[Diddy]

Happiness is in the eye of the beholder. I enjoy my own company more than other peoples company.

[TheLuckOf7]

You become normal when you make your NG account gets closed.

[ertysproductions]

There isn't such thing as normal. What those people are is called "boring". Go have a beer man.

[froggerfreak]

your thinking to hard

[Yhtomit]

They are happy because they love Big Brother, and worship the Party. Conform now, or the Thought Police will come for you...

[lolomfgisuck]

Shiny happy (normal) people... holding hands?

[tarahloveshentai]

The media always and in general, only shows the stereotypical sociable and happy people rather than those who are different.

It immediately says that if you aren't like what's pictures than your abnormal, weird, and out of the normal social class.

[Orange-Jews]

too much time on the internet = detachment from other people in real life

[MonkeyV]

I say, you shouldn't worry about it.
The difference between being strange and being normal is meaningless if you are happy.
And if you want others to be happy, you should not try to enlighten them to how miserable they are supposed to be. Happiness is, generally, the ultimate goal in life. Remember that. Everything else is a means of getting there.

[Freaki-boy92]

to be normal, you be different. to be different, you be yourself. to be yourself, you do what you wanna be.

[Fifty-50]

You will never find true hapiness unless you find someone who thinks just like you.

To Frank :

Happiness is a relative thing. Even if a person is comparatively healthy and successful, if you know that other people on the planet are suffering, it is impossible to be 100% completely happy, IMO.

Don't worry about trying to fit in too much, just be yourself. As long as you are not hurting anyone else by doing so.

There is no "norm". Everyone is unique.

[katyperryy]

Lol.

You have 9,210 posts. Hypocrite much? If you really were the anti "normal" people chatting with other people you'd be living in a rock alone away from all humans.

Face it, you need humans too, that's why you're here communicating with other humans.

So, you're not detached from humans. Plus you sound like you have a huge ego, because I bet nobody is looking at you, it's only a phase you're going through, kid. You'll get over it.

Only if the pain and suffering of others brings you unhappiness.
I guess you could say that it's a natural impulse to feel bad about that sort of thing, but still, definitely not physically impossible for just that reason.

On another thought, can anyone actually say what 100% happiness actually means?

I treat you guys as internet bots though. Plus, even if you're not, you guys just seem like short books or quotes to me.

Cheer up Frankie there's no need to cry.

[Zergzealot]

Sounds like Inferiority Complex, you need to grow some confidence and tell yourself that you're a normal person. Cheer up, everybody is unique.

Each with it's own individual genetic configuration.

Hey l'm just lightining the mood!

[BabiesAteMyDingo]

I would rather walk around happy than be a miserable old git. But that's just my out look on life.

[PuRpLe-KusH]

Im only happy when I take my meds.
