"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.

"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."

Answer 5

A good and simple test is to write down your thoughts or post answers here on YA. A while or days later read your own responses. If comprehension is almost illegible, coherence of thought rapidly in decline, and thoughts are ill considered and negatively worded, it means there is deterioration in brain cell matter.

I noticed this last week and have been trying to rest and still my mind to regenerate my grey matter. It is not easy. Restlessness prohibits dwelling or pondering upon any thought process or situation for long, a need to vent feelings and a strong hindrance in the form of invasive forces seeking to pervert my words and meaning do little to aid my cause.

Difficulty in concentration or focusing upon any matters is also a good sign. Sanity is a tender spun thread. There are three parts to the thinking mind. One forms words and voices them. The other formulates speech from concurrent thought processes, and the third paves thought processed to an conclusive end or agenda. All three must function in unison for mind and thoughts to be concisely iterated.

Possession is my reality regardless of whether any belive or not. When I speak my right side brain is alerted as to who is inspiring the thought, whom it is aimed toward, and for what aim or intention. Ordinarily words are spoken well if all three areas are clarified and intent is known. This process occurs in constant parallel synchronicity.

When this harmony is disturbed we find it hard to form thoughts, or find obvious words and when proof reading posts we find the words jargonised and contrived and far removed from what our mind sought to convey.

Nietzsche wrote his finest and most profound thoughts rarely reached his parchment as if a deterrent sought to subvert his wisdom and restrain him from sending truth as light into the world.

Answer 6

An insane person wouldn't question their sanity. :)

Answer 7

Why not try it out with mirror on the wall?

Decode this lyrics " If you don't know me by now"

In coming up with an answer on a piece of question with those "Three little words" on "Who are you" ?

What do you think?

Answer 8

The second sign of insanity is hairs on the palms of your hands. The first sign of insanity is looking for them. So don't look.

All the world's crazy, save thee and me and even thees's a bit crazy.

The true quote is 'All the world's q***r, save thee and me, and even thee's a little q***r.' I changed it because the word 'q***r' has acquired other connotations over the years.

Answer 9

insanity is wiping out a few folk with a gun and ending up being cared for for the rest of your life.

Insanity is getting up and doing the same stupid job for thirty years

insanity is subjective

insanity is a nice place to visit (been there twice)

insanity is returning to consciousness and drudgery.

Answer 10

If you do not have a reason for what you do, you are insane. (Buying a Pet Rock).

If you have a reason, but the actions you take are unrelated to the result you wish to achieve, you are insane. (Buying Carbon Credits)

If the results you wish to achieve do not promote your own self-interest, you are insane. (Committing suicide)

If the actions you take to promote your own interest are performed at the expense of another, you are insane. (Robbing a bank)

Answer 11

Look at the palms of your hands Look for hairs growing on them.

Answer 12

Read a book and question what is written, not how and what you think about it.

Answer 13

It is very difficult in a world where insane seems to be the norm. Insane being defined as doing something against your best interests, and most of the time people do not perceive their best interests. So if you can leave every situation you find yourself in and it is always a win win situation, nothing taken, only gained then you are probably sane. In the context you mean though, you are not insane for questioning your sanity, at least you are willing to concede that you are not all there :) Whatever you do though, do not consult a doctor! they are more insane than anybody, they will be convinced otherwise, but a slight discrepency in your 'health' and they will cover their own arses soon as. Hope this helps.

Answer 14

i think we are all a little "insane" but as long as you dont have a little voice in your head telling you to kill everyone then i think your ok... We need to be alittle crazy to make life a little bit more interesting :-)

Answer 15

I suppose we all are at some times in our life, what is normal. I don't think I am I go to work and react to people properly with no mental worries about what I say.  

Answer 16

if you have hair on the palm of your hand your insane.

Answer 17

Sanity and insanity project out of the same origin. Insanity does not come from different origin and also sanity does not come from altogether different origin. It is the way we are able to exhibit, demonstrate or present our mental state.

If you (we) start practicing how to present best part of ourselves in the public eye over a period of time, an image is built in the social circles about us. We become socially appealing. We are able to impress others. We leave a mark of such impressions. I think this is sufficient for your small question but big in its potential meaning.

Answer 18

There is no way of knowing that you are insane. Once you have lost control of your consciousness, you are unable to know that you are insane, only those around you can see it and label you insane.

Answer 19

If you think you are or might me, then you are not.  Insane people do not know they are insane and never question their own sanity.

Answer 20

The truly insane have no idea that They are insane.

Answer 21

That's a very good question. I've known many people both online and in person who seem irrational, who can't complete a sentence and who refuse to pronounce words in a recognizable way.

Then again, perhaps I'm the insane one failing to understand them.

Answer 22

To get away from the idea that there is sanity and normality and insanity-

WHO statistics say that I in 3 of us at any one time has mental health problems that is more normal than blue eyes or red hair.

The bandying around of terms such as the above is a social device to make some people outsiders for their differences.

It helps the dynamics of  bonding relationships.

Just choose to present yourself as normal within the proscribed guidelines and keep your difference to yourself.

  

Answer 23

I know I am mad and have been for years. Bollocks.

Answer 24

An insane person will always deny his insanity, and a sane person will never admit it.

Answer 25

Every one is normal, btu to their own personal degree.  The easiest way to tell is you are insane is if you purposefully keep doing things you don't like for no reason.  If you don't fit in with society then you are socially unacceptable, however if you keep doing the same thing and expect a different result then that is madness.

Answer 26

If you look in the mirror and your reflection is sticking its tongue out and going cross-eyed and its sticking 2 fingers up at you whilst dancing to something like abba , then im afraid there is no hope... you would be sane to yourself but insane to everyone else.

Answer 27

if you ask yourself if you are insane, then that proves you are sane. an insane person "knows" their sane, when really they aren't.

Answer 28

Some of the greatest minds this world has ever seen were considered as insane/mad. Sanity is only measured by how well you live up to societys expectations. In my humble insane oppinion

Answer 29

It is rude to answer a question with a question , so excuse my rudeness.. What is Madness... ?  there are 5 main mental health recognised illnesses in the medical books listed... if you fit into one of these catergories then the answer is yes ..  I will not list them here for fear of offending .. but if you if you do not fall into any of these catorgories then you can be rest asured you are not insane .. my answer would be .. that if you wre insane you would not be asking this question .. insane people are rarely rational :)

Answer 30

This is something many of us ponder to the extreme.  There is so much literature on that subject.  The psychiatrists are no better than we are.  It's a human condition.  If you're not at least a little insane, you're not paying attention.  

View the Barbra Striesand movie "Nuts."  It remains a classic in my mind.  Also, "Girl, Interrupted" by Susanna Kaysen, played by Winona Ryder in the movie, with Angelina Jolie, Whoopi Goldberg, Brittany Murphy, and others.  

You are so not alone.

Answer 31

Sanity is for crazy people.
