This is not really a question...but really a statement that I would like some feedback on.
I've noticed that a lot of people think that they're weird because they have weird thoughts...is that really weird?
I have weird thoughts all the time, and I donn't think am weird and I am sure a lot of other people will agree...
So am I the only one who thinks that it's okay to be a little different as long a it isn't harmful?
Ok...I just asked a question...lol

I think you're right - it's okay to have weird thoughts as long as it's not harmful to you or others. Also the statement of what's classified as normal if very broad. What's abnormal to one person is normal for another. Thanks for sharing. :)

I think it is definitely "normal" to have what others may consider "unnormal" thoughts in public/private because we all do and have them.
Everyone is normal, but in an unnormal way...get it? LOL Hope you do.
It reminds me of the saying "You're unique just like everyone else." We're all different, but being different makes us normal. I don't think there's anybody that doesn't have strange thoughts. And what's strange to one person may not be strange to another.
Can you really base YOUR judgment of another person based on your own thinking? And who's thinking is YOUR thinking based on? It's all really just one big circle.
