Your phrasing makes it a bit vague and hard to interpret...
but uh... I suppose humans are pretty comfortable with familiarity. A lot of people enjoy living life in a way that's predictable for them, and isn't too much to handle.
Hmm... well, what do you really even mean by "normal", or "different"? At this point, almost anything could be normal. Countless ideas have been conceptualized for a good while now and it seems like we've still struggled at times to look for something original thanks to the massive number of pre-existing concepts that have already been followed.
Sometimes, it's hard to figure out what counts as normal.
Also, there are a great number of people who aspire to be someone unique. Unfortunately, because of how popular of a concept that is, the idea of being unique, is no longer unique.
So really, I don't have an exact answer. Though, if I were asked why I do "normal things" and not "something different", I probably would just state that I don't find much incentive to be different from everyone, and that i'm comfortable with living life as I do now.
That's not to say I'd rather be the same as everyone else. As far as it means to be an individual, the countless combinations of traits, qualities, and tendencies, already makes each of us individually different or unique in a sense. So it can be argued we're already different. I think that argument may apply to what we do, considering the choices we make in certain situations and the way we deal with things.
