How do you know when you’re crazy? - Help.com

People who are crazy don’t even suspect it.
So, if you think you’re crazy, you’re not.

Most of the time if you are crazy you will not even realize it. You will think that you are the only sane one in the room.

Three out of four people are not insane.
Look at your three closest friends.
If they appear normal then it must be you.

lol

Most crazy people either don’t know they’re crazy or are so far off the deep end they can’t do anything about it.

**** I’m in a group of exactly four friends. I think they’re crazy. They keep telling me I’m crazy. Eep!
lol, yeah right. As if I’m crazy..

Crazy is just a word that means being seriously mentally ill. There are many ways to be mentally ill, but if you are hearing or seeing things that aren’t there, that would the most common meaning for crazy. Do you think you’re mentally ill?

I don’t believe this…Sorry, just different opinion. I have two friends who constantly have the desire for getting attention and having something be “wrong” with them. Has anyone ever met guys who go on about their battlescars? Or one who puts plasters on just so people think they have sores? Like that. They want to feel crazy so they can be sympathised with, but thus it feeds their addiction. I think wanting to be crazy has made them crazy! Like a virgin having a STI tests, blood/HIV tests and other sorts to see what is wrong with them. Starting to self harm AFTER having counclling for it. It’s made them worse. The worst thing is it’s almost like they’re having a competition with each other to see who has the most problems…

“I’m going to tell you a story,” said Zedka. “A powerful wizard, who wanted to destroy an entire kingdom, placed a magic potion in the well from which all the inhabitants drank. Whoever drinks that water would go mad.

“The following morning, the whole population drank from the well and they all went mad, apart from the king and his family, who had a well set aside for them alone, which the magician had not managed to poison. The king was worried and tried to control the population by issuing a series of edicts governing security and public health. The policemen and inspectors, however, had also drunk the poisoned water, and they thought the king’s decisions were absurd and resolved to take no notice of them.

“When the inhabitants of the kingdom heard these decrees, they became convinced that the king had gone mad and was now giving nonsensical orders. They marched on the castle and called for his abdication.

“In despair the king prepared to step down from the throne, but the queen stopped him, saying ‘Let us go and drink from the communal well. Then we will be the same as them.’

“And that was what they did: The king and the queen drank the water of madness and immediately began talking nonsense. Their subjects repented at once; now that the king was displaying such wisdom, why not allow him to continue ruling the country?

“The country continued to live in peace, although its inhabitants behaved very differently from those of its neighbors. And the king was able to govern until the end of his days.”
