How to use "Atypical" in context?
Different is the new abnormal. And in a world where everything is supposed to be average, that can be a hard concept to wrap your head around. But it's worth remembering that not everything needs to be conformity incarnate. In fact, embracing your own unique personality can be a pretty awesome thing.
So if you're feeling a little out of place and like you don't quite fit in, don't worry, you're not alone. There are all sorts of "atypical" people out there, doing all sorts of awesome things. Maybe you're an artist who loves to customize their clothing every day.
