Normaling is the act you perform when you are in an inescapable environment with many other people, and there is absolutely nothing to occupy yourself with. A given person's social skill level, social status, and personality can be immediately determined by the proficiency and style of their normaling.
The goal of normaling is to do nothing in the most socially acceptable, "normal" manner. Very generally, normaling consists of staring at inanimate objects and avoiding eye contact with others; however, this can vary widely between individuals with different normaling proficiencies and is very dependent on the situation at hand.
Here are two examples of appropriate normaling practices:
Ex 1: You're on a plane filled with people. Your phone is dead and you don't want to pay for movies/tv. In this situation, normaling etiquette calls for you to feign sleeping. Close your eyes and lean your head back. Optionally, mix in an occasional snore.
Ex 2: You're in a British Literature class, which, by nature, is boring. The professor grades attendance, so you can't leave. Your professor is also a stickler on having phones out (it's a small class, so he can spot you if you take out your phone). In this case, the common normaling practice is to lean back in your chair, and alternate between staring at the ceiling and walls. Then (and this is crucial), take out your water bottle, and periodically take 0.5-1.5 minute long sips from it every 5-7 minutes.

I don't know about Wes, dude. His normaling on the bus today was off. He kept staring at people, and it was making everyone uncomfortable. He gives off ex-band kid vibes.
Mark seems chill af. His normaling during bio the other day was on point. We should ask him to hang out.

Get the noralie mug.Normalism is an ideology vigorously practised by a high percentage of homo sapiens. It was formed organically during the agricultural revolution some 10,000 years ago. Subscribers of Normalism all share similar doubts & fears, behaviour in social settings, sleep schedules, meal times, exercise schedules, addictions, social media consumtion, vocabulary etc. Many people are members of Normalism without conscious realisation, their beliefs are past on ancestrally. The tight Normalism belief structure is very effective for controlling people and keeping societal order. School systems and people in higher power enjoy the ease of control over Normalists like a sheep dog and its sheep. Normalist will have negative feelings as they witness someone not conforming.Contradiction to Normalism such as doing push ups in a supermarket will cause Normalists to feel funny inside and stare as they whisper something to the person next to them. Unfortunately the pressures of Normalist duties will keep one to a mediocre life, traits beneficial for conquering and success like candidness, obsession ,excessive ambition, lack of fear, aggression etc, are frowned upon by the Normalist community. One must resign from their duties under the Normalist regime if they wish to rise above in life, exiting is very difficult, it takes will power and undisputed belief in oneself. You will experience presence of envy and anger from Normalists as you begin to change and elevate.
PERSON 1: "Did you just go for a 20km run at 3am?! That is insane, You should have been sleeping!"
PERSON 2: "You sound like a member of Normalism. I do what i want, don't get in my way."

Get the Normality mug.Very strong. Although, she is shy and difficult to communicate, she is the best person you can ever have. She is transparent about her life, she overshares a lot, only in her loved ones. She is easy to fool but she is not dumb. She loves to eat, read and sing but she can't dance. Not sporty but loved to watch basketball game. Not fond into relationships and intimacy. Maybe lost but she knows she have direction.
