    So I have maybe an odd question. Your example gives a somewhat common enough experience on the web. So it leads me to believe that a significant portion of the population are this way.

    At what level does this then begin to fall under a “disorder”? If most people do something, then isn’t it really just considered normal and not any kind of pathology?

    I started trialing low dose psych meds recently for anxiety/depression and it has got me thinking. If my thoughts and feelings are the same as almost everyone, then do I really have a disorder?

    If everyone is abnormal, then what really and truly is “normal”?
