I sometimes wonder if I'm crazy

Not that it would make me any different than most of the rest of the world

We could settle for unusual perhaps.

Unusual's good.

Harvey assured me that you are perfectly sane.

From what I encounter most days, I'm perfectly happy being insane.

Eccentric, maybe? But that can be fun, people sometimes say I seem somewhat eccentric at times. Luckily, their exposure to me is limited.

Crazy just means the rest of the world hasn't caught up.

Crazy people are the only ones who never wonder if they are insane or normal.

Define "crazy".

I often wonder if other people are crazy never myself, though I often find those who are more sane than I am too.

I wonder the same. In fact I drive myself crazy wondering if I am. I come right out and ask people if I am, if it seems like Im crazy to them. Its a great opportunity for them to really mess my mind up.

I ask others frequently about their thought process in various situations and Ive come to the conclusion that most of us are either fragile and unstable or delusional and in denial.

I find that extremely satisfying, that were all kind of in the same boat. The ship is sinking and theres not a life vest to be found but life is a tragic comedy.

Its true what they say about misery loving company although I personally enjoy my misery in solitude.

I spent some time today speaking with one of the smartest people I know next to you and while he is fantastically intelligent his thoughts are all based on conspiracy theories, ones that actually make sense to me though but it seemed like an awfully tiring place to be in, very dark. In conclusion I decided that he too was crazy which Im very comfortable with.

Rational thinking is overrated in my opinion. I mean we have to be somewhat grounded, mainly for appearance sake but I find crazy much more interesting.

Some nights I sleep so deeply that when I wake up I don't remember who I am. It takes a few minutes until the memories return.

It's not so bad though. It's kind of nice to really be nobody for a few minutes now and then. No past, no sense of having to do anything particularly... just feeling really well rested.

Thats not something I experience often. Ever.

Who among us can say we don't have a little craziness lurking deep within.

You mention you "sleep deeply". How I envy you, I have a terrible time trying to fall asleep at night.

I've to snatch a couple of hours sleep here and there throughout a twenty four hour period.

Strange thing though, (see, I'm strange as well as crazy) I can sleep far better during the day, but I hate going into bed during the daytime sleeps, so I lie on top of the bed with a blanket covering me.

My sleep pattern is all over the place.

Now that is crazy for sure.

Yes, there's a bit of craziness in all of us whether wee like to admit it or not.

Enjoy your craziness, it probably keeps you sane. :wah:

:wah: Somehow I just knew Nomie would make an appearance on a "crazy" thread.

I think you have to be a little crazy to survive nowadays. Be responsible, but don't take yourself too seriously and do something unexpected.
