Define: Normal

What does normal truly mean? It is a question I have contemplated for the majority of my life. Relating to someone else's "normal" is our greatest challenge. Our normalcy is a compilation of our environment, influences, and level of control we experience. Not one person will have the same normal as another. An underlining discomfort surrounds sharing our personal lives and what we learn from them. Why does it feel as if exposing my normal is like unveiling a cold case file?
