Actually it's you who doesn't know what you're talking about. Your distribution has excess kurtosis, which implies fatter tails, and greater probability of extreme values (more area under the tails, dipshit). If, in fact, you contend that your distribution does not have fatter tails, then I'm afraid it's not normally distributed. You'll need to standardize your random variable. Good luck to you.
