normalness
Being like everyone
Normalness is the quality of being normal—ordinary, typical, unremarkable.
The word exists but rarely appears, since normality covers the same ground more gracefully.
You might encounter it when someone reaches for an abstract noun on the fly: After months of chaos, she craved normalness.
