If you are really crazy, do you know it?

[badmouse]

If you are truly insane (or whatever PC word I should be using), do you know it? Or do you go around thinking you are just fine? If you think you are fine, but you think the rest of the world is majorly f*cked up, that's probably not good. But if you think you are fine, and you think most other people are fine too, and you seem to make it thru the day without too many hassles, and you keep your bills paid and your laundry up-to-date, etc, could you still be a raging lunatic even though you don't know it?

If so, how would you find out you were bonkers? When they locked you up?

if a hypochondriac thinks he's a hypochondriac is he?

 

[bradruth]

It doesn't matter, you're all just manifestations of my multiple personalities. I've never seen any of you, so how can that be disproven?

 

[Crappopotamus]

depends on how messed you are i guess. 'developmentally disabled' kids know that theyre different.

The voices in my head tell me I'm normal. I find it's easiest to believe them.

I think it depends on your mental health before you went nuts and just how you went nuts. Sometimes you know, sometimes you don't. And when you don't, you usually end up on the news after having done something stupid.

Other than the situation where a change in a person is obvious, most people just fall within some range of dysfunction. If you are reasonably responsible, nobody is going to haul you away or point at you. Thing is, a lot of very disturbed people are hiding behind respectable faces--all levels of income, position, etc.

What you probably don't want to know is that out of every 10 people, there are 4 character disorders, 4 neurotics, 1 psychotic, and 1 medically normal person.

That's why it's good not to fvck with people--they may be crazy enuf to waste you.

and 1 medically normal person.

Hmm. It's been a while since I did statistics, but if only one person out of ten is something, that isn't normal, is it? Interesting.
