Sounds like a line from a Tarantino movie

Re: What’s normal?
For some years now, since I found out 'how we tick' (long story that is) I never use the word 'normal' in relation to humans and their behaviours, there definitely is no 'normal' in that sense.Instead I use the word 'usual', it's far more accurate a description for human behaviours. Anyone with an interest in psychology would realise why that is, far too involved to go into here.

Dead right. Talking about what is normal in a social/ cultural sense is open season. As far as the psychology of an individual goes....Big cross and some strong garlic for mine. We can only talk in terms of behaviour. Because behaviour is subject to social norms. What's inside our heads isn't up for judgement......yet.
