What is Normal?

Have you seen "The Accountant" trailer? One thing for sure, there's a catch phrase that I like, "Define normal."

For years, I've been battling my surrounding about what is normal. Most of my raport book from childhood to teenager been filled with "Lack of social skills and tend to be a loner" comments from various teachers. Extended family me for being "abnormal". "Normal" people, according to them, should be socialized and have a lot of friends. 

Little did they know, I don't have interest in making communications with a bunch of people. Especially the ones that demand affection. Showing affection towards other could be burdensome for me. I believe, the more communication, the more potential problems. Well, maybe I should correct that words. Communication is fine if its only on objective matter, such as biology; arts; neuroscience; etc. It is consider NOT fine when they demanding emotional attachment. Frankly speaking, I don't even have affection towards family. Sometimes, it is haunted me whether is it normal or not. It made me feel guilty, thus exhausting.
