Well, we're all different and how our brains are wired can affect how we see things. It is known that people with schizophrenia don't see optical illusions in the same way most people do.
Not saying you have schizophrenia, but if you don't see optical illusions at all or very faintly then I guess it's not "normal" in the statistical sense. Most people do see optical illusions.
TIL I have schizophrenia...
Well it could be something else. I'm not a psychiatrist but as far as I know they don't use the inability to perceive optical illusions as a diagnosis criterion for schizophrenia.
Phew.
