  Normalize ironically normalizing the already normal

  do i get bonus points if its a dirty shoe? >
  
  No, but you do get a cake. >
  
  I saw a meme asking us to normalise not bringing up a story about ourselves, in relation to someone telling us something about themselves (and just listening to their story)
  Then I saw a meme asking us to re-normalise bringing up a story about ourselves in relation to someone telling us something about themselves, as it is how neurodivergent people converse.
  I don’t know what to believe anymore >
  
  normalize normalization of normalcy >
  
  Some shit should never get "normalized" There is a lot of shit out there that a vast majority of us don't anything to do with it. >
  
  Plus there's just shit that's not normal/common/frequent. >
  
  normalize shouting just the word "normalize" at the top of your lungs during formal gatherings >
  
  Instead of asking to normalize something we should stop caring about the opinion of judgemental random strangers who just feel the need to put down other people that are different because those judgemental people are Subhumans who need to compensate their inferiority >
  
  We should normalize this opinion >
  
  It’s either already normal or the person is outting themselves as a horrible person. One guy said we should normalize men missing the birth of their kids because the kid won’t remember or care… as if he didn’t care about how his wife would feel at all. >
  
  *Controversial so beware*
  I think this especially applies to mental health. The best way to describe it, is when you think you might have a rash on your body, and you put that into google and Google says you'll die in 3 days...
  I have been very lucky to grow up in a safe environment where all of my friends that I know personally have little to no 'serious' issues (depression,SA, etc.), the maximum it goes to is maybe some light ADHD.
  However, I've noticed that once they indulge more on the internet, they start self-diagnosing themselves with serious mental illnesses and even physical ones (aka those TikTok videos where people pretend to have Tourette... ) Everyone pays them so much more attention, and you can see how they THRIVE off it.
  I find this trend really disturbing, as I have now moved away from this area and have met friends at uni who have genuine hardships at hand. None of them will advertise themselves as having any 'issues'
  So although mental health awareness is great, it really doesn't do a lot for those affected imo.
