    Default You're smart if you understand this.

    Normal does not exist because everyone is different.
    Therefore everyone is abnormal.
    Thus abnormal becomes normal.
    But since normal does not exist neither does abnormal.
    So therefore normal and abnormal do not exist.

    it depends on the context. as in, normal what? personality? clothes? lifestyle?

    when you look at normality with respect to one of those or anything specific, then everyone is certainly not different, so the rest of the statements fall through.

    without reference to anything, "normal," and thereby also "abnormal," have little meaning, so I can go with "does not exist."

    You should define what it means to be normal and abnormal. Suppose abnormal is defined as a set where its a member of itself. Otherwise it is normal. I'm going to go a bit mathy

    So a bunch of geeks would be normal since a set of geeks is not a geek. Contrarily, a bunch of non-geeks would be abnormal since they each can be a member of their own set.

    Consider a set of ALL things that are normal N and ask ourselves. Is the set of all things that are normal N actually normal?

    Assume that it is abnormal. If it is, then it doesn't belong in the set N because it should contain all stuff that is normal. But then N does not contain itself so therefore its NORMAL even though we assumed that it was ABNORMAL. Contradiction.

    Assume that N is normal. If it is, then it does belong in the set N. But then N would contain itself as a member. Which is the definition of something that is abnormal. Therefore its ABNORMAL when we assumed that it was NORMAL. Contradiction.

    Basically an extended version of: "Just remember you're different, just like everyone else."
