Let’s talk about “normies.”
Yeah, the people who post sunset pics instead of memes, hang out IRL without irony, and don’t know what “ratio” means. We mock them, but secretly? They’re onto something.
And I say this as someone who’s logged 10,000 hours in the algorithm mines.


First: What’s a “normie” really?
It’s someone grounded in the physical world. They’re not optimizing their vibe for dopamine or clout. They’re just… existing.
Eating food without filming it. Laughing without subtweeting. Having conversations that vanish into air, not archives.


Here’s the thing: the internet rewards extremes. Hot takes, niche obsessions, curated personas. But normies live in the average—the messy, boring, beautiful middle where most of life happens.
And that middle? It’s where connection survives when the Wi-Fi dies.


To my neurodivergent friends: I get it.
The real world is loud, unpredictable, and full of NT rules that feel like a bad UI. But normies aren’t the enemy. They’re proof that humans can thrive without hyperfixating on existing correctly.
No masking required—just being.


The magic of normies:

You don’t have to become a normie.
Just… let them exist in your periphery. Let their “basic” lives teach you something:
Life isn’t a performance. You’re allowed to enjoy things unironically. You’re allowed to be boring.

The real world isn’t a normie monopoly, either.
They’re just better at accessing its default settings. But those settings are open-source! Go people-watching. Sit in a park. Small talk a cashier. The stakes are zero. You can always crawl back to your niche later.

Normalcy isn’t about conformity—it’s about access.
Access to spontaneous moments, shared silence, the 3D humanity we pixelate online. Normies aren’t “coping”; they’re living in the only reality we all (yes, even you) are stuck in: this one.

Final take:
Being online sharpens your mind, but normie shit nourishes your soul. You don’t have to pick—you can have both. But never let your disdain for “basic” become a cage.


The older you get, the more you’ll crave what normies have: roots.

Just measure your happiness levels when hanging out with liberals IRL, compared to with random autists who only talk about their hyperfixations.

It's so blissful in comparison.

25 normie conversation starters:

  1. “Did you see Love is Blind: Season 87? I’m 90% sure the producers just hate humanity now.”
  2. “I tried ‘meal prepping’ this week. It’s just Tupperware full of regret and raw carrots.”
  3. “My dog learned a new trick: judging me silently while I cry to Ted Lasso.”
  4. “I’m ‘training for a 5K’… which is code for ‘I walked to the fridge three times today.’”
  5. “Why is every Netflix show now Stranger Things but with [insert: vampires/moms/knitting]?”
  6. “I bought an air fryer. My life is 37% crispier and 100% more insufferable.”
  7. “My plant died. I’ve named its corpse ‘Steve’ to cope. How’s your week going?”
  8. “I think my phone is gaslighting me. It said ‘good morning’ at 2 PM.”
  9. “I joined a book club. We drink wine and pretend we read the book. You in?”
  10. “My hobby? Rearranging my Spotify playlist instead of going to therapy.”
  11. “I’m convinced Trader Joe’s seasonal snacks are a cult. Pumpkin spice cheese, Karen?”
  12. “I ‘Marie Kondo’d’ my closet. Now I own three shirts and existential dread.”
  13. “I tried yoga. Turns out ‘downward dog’ is just me napping on the floor.”
  14. “I’m debating getting bangs. My therapist says ‘explain your reasoning.’”
  15. “I went viral once… in my mom’s Facebook group for burning toast.”
  16. “My Alexa misheard me and now I own 17 throw pillows. Help.”
  17. “I’m ‘so busy’—said while rewatching The Office for the 14th time.”
  18. “I bought a ‘hydration bottle.’ It’s just a cup with a straw and a superiority complex.”
  19. “My car’s check engine light is on. I’m choosing to believe it’s just vibing.”
  20. “I’m ‘really into gardening’ now. Translation: I killed a cactus.”
  21. “I downloaded Duolingo. The owl owns my soul and I know three words of Spanish.”
  22. “I’m hosting a ‘self-care night.’ Bring sweatpants and questionable life choices.”
  23. “My new hobby? Taking 800 photos of the sunset to prove I have a personality.”
  24. “I’m ‘investing in crypto.’ Just kidding, I bought a scratch-off and cried.”
  25. “I’m learning to cook! So far: cereal, toast, and a deep fear of ovens.”

THE BRUTAL REALITY
The self-proclaimed "more intelligent than everyone around him" guy. 35yo, lifetime virgin, rigid thinking, skeptic. Ends up on Dr K trying to appear smart

Average "stuttershock liberal normie" google image result person (IRL):
Has had sex with 20+ different girls. Has had long term relationships. Just proposed to his fiancee. Has fun. Doesn't get too stressed ever. "Hey [Normie friend] still training for that half marathon?". Yeah it's been nice and challenging! Haha cool.

Life for these people is COPACETIC.


Part of it is just not overthinking a lot and spending time around other normies. Playing sports, joining group activities, not talking too much about deep topics (unless approved by mainstream media, CNN, BBC at any given time), even then, refrain from that (for the sake of your own joy).

This "avocado toast liberal" archetype is by far the most restorative and nourishing type of person to spend time around. Not sports fans, not an incel friend secretly trying to mog you or put you down, not someone who's trying to use you for their own self-interest.

These NPC-esque liberals are great to be around. Really.

My take is the opposite, as I am getting older the more strange and unappealing I find normies. I could be abstract and say, what good is being a normie man if you have a huge chance of either divorce or a dead bedroom where a woman just tolerates you - but I don't want to get lost in the weeds on these statistics. Quite simply, I find normies boring. I don't care about aunt norma starting a herb garden, I don't care about liverpool getting an upset win, I don't care some guy called mike I've never met quitting his job because of not getting time off. Normies just put me to sleep.

What if you met a girl next door Stacy from your same social background, similar interests and she falls in love with you, and you with her.

And she wants you to play paddleball with her friends.


^ That is the point I am making. "Normie shit" in a vacuum isn't interesting; because all that matters is how company makes you feel.

My main point is that depth and connection are hugely underrated. Blackpillers tend to focus too much on objectivity and things, aiming to be rational - rather than feeling.

What I am saying is, sometimes you can be in a copacetic state with normies, doing normie activities. And they're mostly (if not always) better company than aspies or competitive outsiders.

That doesn't mean you need to hang around doing things you don't like. But sometimes hanging out with true liberals who have no intention to compete or backstab you, can be NOURISHING for the soul.

I need to THINK about it, for a longer while..

My hatred for 'normie shit' is deeply engraved into my soul at this point: always a hipster, jester, can't do activities like you described in some replies without feeling like "it's fucking lame" xD

I know what you're talking about 'tho', like going HIKING with friends is nt normal thing for normies, for me it's boring hell, maybe with htb I can go fucking hiking but not with some silly ass niggas :forcedsmile::lul:
 
You have to have normal childhood and teenage development to be with normies, its not just something that you can just do

Even if ur hanging with normies ur brain chemistry has already been moulded by the time ur an adult so u can't enjoy it
