People want to look and feel normal, as they always scared of abnormality and craze.

When people behave the way most people behave, they are reckoned normal. It is always difficult to describe what is “normal” as the attitudes and behaviors that are considered normal today might not be so in the past or in the coming days. Similarly, the thing which is considered normal and conform in a society may not be so in the other. So, it’s really difficult to summarize what normal really is.

Normal has been described in many different ways by Dictionary.com. In psychology the term is used to describe almost average psychological traits like emotional adjustment, intelligence and psychological trait. Those who do not have any mental disorder are considered normal.

In Biology normal means something without infection or other kind of disease and malformation. In statistics, this term describes something average or mean.

In general, it means something standard and without any lack of conformity that seems inclined towards standard.

One interesting thing about it is that often people who are not reckoned normal and go against the set norms and traditions are not accepted by the society when they come up with some new thinking, however, after sometime when it is proved that they were right in their thinking, the same people become the hero of this society and the things people used to reckon abnormal begin considering absolutely normal only because of them.

The human history is full of such examples especially the many men of science were reckoned abnormal because of their hard to understand theories that were ahead of their times, but when some time passed and the same was accepted as true, these very persons who were reckoned abnormal because of their odd thinking became the renowned personalities of their time.
