If a coworker made a comment about being “so normal that it isn’t normal,” I would first take a moment to understand the intention behind their statement since it could be meant as a compliment, an observation, or even humor. In response, I might smile and say something like, “That’s quite an interesting observation! I’m glad to stand out in my own unique way, even if it’s by being normal. What made you notice that?” This approach is open and friendly, inviting them to elaborate on their comment and possibly paving the way for a deeper or more meaningful conversation about their perception. Additionally, by receiving their comment with humor and curiosity, I can maintain a positive and genuine interaction.
