According to the dictionary, "normal" means conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular; natural. Free from any infection or disease. Sane.
According to people, normal means average. And according to the majority of people, everyone is average while they themselves are special. However, when these people spot someone who is truly out of the ordinary, they stay away. No grudges, no prejudices. It's just that our society rejects anyone who's different.
