Do you think that you're a "lunatic"?

[Susannah]

Just curious about how everyone think of themselves, in your way.
Me, I consider myself normal. I follow rules, I'm polite. I pretty much follow up things and I keep my attitude, as usual. I'm "normal". But I do see crazy people everyday, several times, "normal people" like me, acting very irrational and do stupid things that makes them look crazy. And I think, am I a minority or a majority?

Anyone else?

Yeah, I can relate. There are two masks - One for society, the public in general and pretty much whatever is outside of my home. And one, where it's the grimdark truth.

If I talk all the things that I think and feel, probably yes. That's the main reason that I keep quiet some topics inside my head. No, there's nothing related to be an murderer, it's only to feel that every day is a struggle to keep me anchored in the real, common world.

Yes because a lot of people are aware that I've been hospitalised. I met someone who was actually calling me a 'psycho' and referring to me as 'Hannibal Lector' to my face which I thought was quite insensitive given that I was hospitalised for a severe manic episode.

That's just horrible to hear. So sorry on behalf of us "normal people"..❤

In terms of the way I act I guess I'm little weird at times. Overall I'd say I'm relatively 'normal' though.

Who ever that person was: They are the "psycho" for insulting someone with mental health issues. If they mocked someone for physical health problems they would likely attract anger.

No, because I want to die, that's a very smart decision.

Most people think I'm rather odd/ strange/ awkward. Nuts on the occasion

 

[EraseRewind]

I think most people think I'm just a boring quiet guy. I do my bit in life, help where I can and when it's possible try to join in and enjoy others company.

I do wear that mask but I'm not sure who I am since I quit drinking I feel I'm a bit of a vacuum.

 

[mathieu]

Yes I'm pretty crazy. Manic depressive and BPD. I'm very paranoid too constantly suspecting people of conspiring against me.

 

[Stavrogin]

I'M NOT CRAZY, I PROMISE...

 

[stillweary]

No, although I suspect I appear that way from the outside. My only problem is that there aren't enough people who see and experience the world the way I do. It's just a numbers game. If there were more people like us, perhaps we could reorganize our society in such a way where people like me could freely wander through it. I can't fathom the freedom to speak and exist and simply "be" in a way that feels right and natural to me. Perhaps if the freedom to just "be" existed for me, I wouldn't be quite so depressed. In the meantime, I get to play the role of the lunatic outlier living with the disappointment of never having managed to budge the social needle in a meaningful or coherent way.

i think theres this line of insanity and because of my personality disorder i tend to cross over it a lot. i remember in my early teens i sewed one of my long sleeve sweaters into a straightjacket and i tell my friend that im insane and should be in a mental hospital. of course the dissociation doesnt help me see things sanely either.
