Normal like other people

Are you waiting to be normal, like other people? Wait no more. You've been kidding yourself all this time. Nobody's normal.

Dysfunctional eaters tend to want to put themselves in a different category than everyone else, perhaps because their psychosis many times, although not always, shows a little more (in the form of overweight).

But everybody's normal til you get to know them, and now that's even the name of a book.

Did you know that, just as eating normally seems difficult to you but simple to other people, other people struggle in areas too:

1. Some people can't seem to take a single drink without overdoing it.

2. Some people can't decorate their own homes to save their lives (yours truly being one of them).

3. Some people struggle to learn simple social skills, and they may never feel they've gotten it right.

4. Some people struggle with being believed, finding love, and being themselves.

5. Some people can't distinguish their right from their left hand. I know such a woman. She has a PhD.

6. Some people can't whistle.

7. Some people can't grow a plant.

8. Some people may be thin, but have hidden, devastating addictions.

It's a waste of time, and too much pressure, to expect yourself to become normal. Just go from where you are, and find a way to make your personal dreams come true. Forget normal.
