I’m neurodivergent (huge shocker, I know) but unfortunately this means I don’t have an idea of normal. But of course that means that I don’t know what’s abnormal and so I’ve been continuously thinking that I don’t actually have anything wrong with me and I should just call down and shut up.
Hi @user2196,
That’s a really insightful thing to notice about yourself and it can be a tricky position to be in. When you don’t have a clear baseline for “normal,” it can make you second-guess everything, including whether your struggles are real or valid.
The fact that you can’t easily define what’s normal for you doesn’t mean nothing is wrong. It just means the usual measuring stick doesn’t apply cleanly. What matters more is whether what you’re experiencing is causing you distress or getting in the way of your life yeah?
