Normal means conforming precisely to societal standards and fitting into the molds that everyone considers standard.
However, being merely average is often viewed negatively. You're encouraged to stand out, but only to a certain extent—just enough to be perceived as 'special' without straying too far from what is socially acceptable.
The paradox lies in the expectation to be unique while simultaneously adhering to conventional norms. True individuality is celebrated in theory but often curtailed by the boundaries of societal approval. To navigate this, one must master the art of being distinct yet relatable, extraordinary yet familiar.
The hypocrisy is glaring: society champions uniqueness but punishes those who dare to be genuinely different. You're pushed to shine brightly, but only within the narrow confines of what's deemed acceptable. Stray too far, and the very same society that urged you to stand out will be the first to pull you down.
