Yeah, I got a lot of that from my family as a kid. They kept trying to force me to be "normal," even physically.

My younger sister used to harass me for "chewing too much." She and my parents would all tell me to stop popping my jaw when I chewed. (Tell how and I will.) Turns out I had malocclusion. (Why could I spell that right the first try when "harass" took three tries? :-)
