Normal or Not?

Our Exposé on Common Quirky Behaviours

- BY LORI KOLMAN

You live a normal life. You’ve got friends, you’ve got hobbies and you’re happy to spend 20 minutes hunting for the toothpaste at the pharmacy rather than – No! Anything but that! – asking a shop assistant for help. Trust us, that behaviour is normal, because all of us are a little, well, quirky. And in most cases, our idiosyncra­sies are curable, or at least curbable. We asked psychiatri­sts, psychologi­sts and other experts to weigh in on some odd behaviours that are surprising­ly common. You might recognise one of them in yourself and wonder,

Am I normal or nuts? The answer is always yes and yes.
