No way the definition of normal I gave is the common one. At some point it doesn’t really matter what the dictionary says, if enough people change the meaning of a word they use, it changes meaning.
Still interesting to look at the roots of a word to see original meanings and so on though.

maybe, but definitely not a rare one. for instance I regularly hear that people deem others weird because the other person cares about their privacy, and does “extreme” things to achieve it, like not using facebook or using a less known email provider. while I think it’s the normal thing to do so, others (mostly who don’t care about privacy) think it’s not normal, reason being it’s not the common thing to do.
I was meaning it mostly about this part:
Something being normal is rooted on it being the norm, as in, something typical. If you think something is odd, you can’t feel like it’s normal just for you, that’s not what the norm means. Maybe it seems natural to you? Sure, but not normal.
