Isn't it true that nobody actually meets the "normal" that society talks about?

Recently, as I've started having deep conversations with various people in college, I've been thinking about something.
And that is, "everyone is not normal at all."

Oh, I don't want to be misunderstood, I'm not saying everyone is crazy like a mad scientist or anything like that lol

I'm talking about how people who fit the image of "normal" that society talks about are actually incredibly rare, aren't they?

Let me list a few of the "normals" of society as I see them.

  • Parents get along well, and the family goes on a trip together once a year

  • Have a decent educational background, and job hunting goes somewhat well

  • During student days, experienced "youth" like a school festival to some extent

  • In the future, have a normal romance and lead a normally happy married life

  • Have no chronic illnesses and no regular hospital visits

I feel like most people don't meet these standards of "normal."

Let me talk about my extreme prejudices in detail.

・It's a miracle if your parents get along well.
I heard somewhere that the divorce rate is 30%, but I feel like even if they aren't divorced, there are quite a few households where it's like a cold war inside.

・A decent educational background is only for a small portion of people.
The university enrollment rate has only just exceeded 50%, and aren't there quite few universities with a deviation score of 50 or higher?

・I envy those who had a "youth" in middle or high school.
I went to a correspondence school, so I didn't have much of a societal "youth" *cries*
Well, even in full-time schools, aren't those who have a "classic youth" student life in the minority?
I don't know, though.

・The future? Getting married? Having a calm life with a partner? I actually think that's rare too. How many people have children and build a happy family?
As for this, I'm still a student, so I don't really know.

・I think there are surprisingly few people who have no physical chronic illnesses or mental health issues.



Well, these are the only "normals" I can think of right now, but there are probably more.
When I listen to various people's stories at university,
"Wow, you're amazing..."
There are people living with backgrounds that are far removed from society's "normal."
(There was a friend who received no financial support from their parents and worked both day and night shifts to earn all their living expenses.)

Maybe this guy and that guy, everyone has something.
I believe that if I could have a heart-to-heart talk with everyone, I could discover "not-normalcy" in almost every person.
I don't have the communication skills to have heart-to-heart talks with everyone, so I can't do it lol


I think everyone carries some kind of 'abnormality' with them.


People who are perfectly 'normal' probably only make up the top 1% or something like that.
