Has anyone called you crazy in a serious way?
Oh yeah, some self-rightjous stupid christians on Quora have thought of me as being crazy. Little do they or anyone else know that I have just said things to fire-up the base, to fire-up these people to get up the discourse and the discussion. Sometime it has worked really well! Nobody really knows how much of a good person I am or certainly have been. Like some dude in New York said to me last May, 2018, “…or do you just love to create controversy!” He was right and is spot-on! But I’m not always that way.. Sometimes, only when I want to, will I sound like a mediocre-idiot who rehearses every known stupid belief system in the world of those psychological-nuts!
Is the though of SIDS driving anyone else crazy?
I know how you feel. My daughter is two, and I'm still releived to hear her wake up every morning. It freaked me out when she started sleeping through the night. I would wake in the morning with a start and think "dear god, please let her be breathing". She was breasfed too, slept on her back, and used a pacifier, all things that reduce the risk. But its still scary. For my next children, I will be buying a co-sleeper so the baby is nice and close for the first several months. I hear it makes night nursings a lot easier, and also reduces the risk of SIDS. Dont worry, you arent alone. At the very least, there is one other paranoid mom like you out there: me.

I pretend to be someone else when I'm alone, am i crazy?
So i am home alone a lot and i get lonely sometimes. I think that in order for me to deal with my loneliness i pretend to be someone else. I pretend that I am famous. (lol) i have the same name and look the same and everything but i will pretend that i am on my favorite tv shows like i make up a character name for myself then act out an episode but put my character in it. I do this all aloud and with props sometimes too. I dont dream to be an actress or anything. i think it would be cool though. The thing that i think is crazy is that i do this ALL THE TIME. even when someones home. if im alone in a room but someones in the house i sort of whisper instead of speaking. I cant even watch a movie or show without pausing it and acting it out. I also pretend that someone is interviewing me and i answer all the questions. i can do that for like an hour! I know that im not actually famous and stuff but am i crazy cause literally i do this all the time?! it doesnt affect my normal life or anything and no one knows i do it so i guess its alright. I dont know, i get really paranoid that i have a mental disorder. My thoughts are that this is just a way for me to deal with my loneliness. Also almost everyday when i put on my makeup and do my hair i pretend i am making a video for youtube showing how to do makeup and my hair and i sorta whisper to myself so no one can hear me. (I dont actually have a youtube or make videos) Sometimes i just talk (or whisper) into my mirror as if im talking into a camera for a youtube video. I pretend that i am a beauty guru and have lots of subscribers. This is all i do when i am home alone. i try to find hobbies but then i get bored of them and end up "acting". Last thing is i laugh at the most inappropriate times! Like i cant sit and eat dinner without bursting out laughing every 5 seconds. I just cant have a conversation without laughing uncontrollably! its horrible! So thats it! Sorry its so long! please tell me what u think!
I feel like I'm going crazy. What should I do?
Whenever you or anyone else is “feeling” like that - it is because:You are unable to silence the noise in your mindThere are too many external signals which are affecting you.Here is a question for you to think about.When you are sleeping or you are in deep sleep - do you feel like you are going crazy?The answer without a doubt is - No.You can ask anyone and everyone this question and the answer will still remain the same - a total and emphatic ‘NO’. For that matter have you ever watched a noisy crazy hyper-active baby when it is sleeping?One of the most beautiful sights you can ever see.Reason being:The mind and body is relaxingThere are no external stimuli that communicate to the bodyThe internal communication is switch offThere is no communication from inside to outsideThink about this for a second.And now I want you to picture this.Someone in deep state of meditation or trance. What do you picture?Do you picture something hyper? fast? out of control? disturbing?Or do you sense a feeling of serene, tranquil and silent peace?Of course - you know the answer this…And to date - I have never met anyone who meditates or who lives a life devoid of stimulation - going crazy.Have you?So now coming to your questionWhy do you feel crazy?It can be a whole host of reasons.So why you are going crazy?It can be because of all the external signals that are bombarding youSocial MediaMoviesMusicEmailsFriendsFamilyWorkTravelPeopleIt can be because of your lifestyleToo less sleepToo much milk, sugar, carbs, artificial or processed foodsToo many stimulantsIt can be because of so many factors.Sometimes even something as small yet very powerful factor like “money” can be a major factor.So what you need to do is - step away from all the chaos and confusion and ask yourself - what is happening. Be aware of what is happening and slow down.So if I were you - I wouldn’t ask myself “Why am I going crazy”Rather I would ask myself - How can I find peace or be more relaxed?Because with the former question, you are finding out all the ways to go fuel the fire of being ‘crazy’ but with the second question, you are looking at ways to eliminate what is driving you mad - and see happiness, peace, calm and achieve a sense of serenity.I hope you find the right answer to the right question and find peace.Loy Machedo
Why is everyone crazy except me?
It's one of the beliefs that they use to decide whether you are crazy or not. You're right about one thing, everyone is crazy. However, you're crazy too. But in a slightly different way to other people.All you can do is try to make your little part of the world a little less crazy. But don't tell anyone. That would be crazy.
Has anyone tried to do something crazy in an Uber?
Oh yeah! After almost 9,000 rides with Uber and Lyft I’ve had some pretty crazy rides.Disclaimer: It’s not as crazy as others, but I’ve had some that were pretty crazy. No rated X stuff in my van. Although I’ve heard of some really wild and crazy things happening. If anything happened that was that wild, I’m pretty sure I couldn’t share it here on Quora anyway.Here goes:One more of my most craziest drives I can remember to share would be that I picked up a bunch of guys from Water Street in Milwaukee, and was going to take them back to the dorms.For privacy reasons, I cannot mention the college. I’m gotta double check what Ican day or not. Just to be in the safe side.Anyways, this guy sitting on the passengers seat next to me was pretty drunk. And , yeah I’ve taken a lot of drunken people home, etc. So, anyways he started making chicken noises. Yeah! Chicken noises!! Bok bok bok! Then he started to get louder. Bok Bok bok!! I thought holy crap this guy is really crazy! Then he started to go around on a tangent like he was a Chicken! Bok bok bok Bok!!!I absolutely had it! I pulled over and said “That’s it!! Get out of my van NOW!” So the guys were laughing and his buddy came up to me and said I’m sorry he’s one of my friends and normally doesn’t act like this. Here’s a tip for your trouble.$2!I’m should of said keep it. But I took it and gave him a 1 Star because I didn’t want to see them ever again.
Everyone thinks and says I'm "crazy"?
Okay, I don't know, but it didn't used to bother me, but for some reason, now it has me wondering, "Am I crazy?" What exactly is "crazy"? Okay, let me tell you a bit about what is going on. I am a mother of two beautiful children who is self-employed. I take care of my own basically. The only thing is that I barely have any friends and most of my family doesn't have anything to do with me. They all say, "(my name), you're crazy, that's why you have no friends!" I don't exactly know how they are getting that "I'm crazy"..... I mean, I haven't done anything to make anyone think I'm "crazy" I don't do drugs, I just eat, sleep, take care of my kids, and work, I'm about as "normal" as it gets! So, I don't know. this all started when I was a teenager when I used to do drugs and some other rebellious things but I've grown out of that behavior! I'm a woman now. I feel like I have to constantly deny their claims that I'm crazy. I don't know, maybe I should just start "playing along"? For example, the other day, I was talking about how my ex-husband was over at my house and he was saying things like, "You make me feel crazy, this is why were not together" I told this to one of my family members and they said, "well, that's because you are". And I said, "well, what do you mean by that?" and they were like, "well, everyone knows you're crazy that's why no one wants to be around you." I mean, what the hell? I don't really talk about anything but regular events on t.v., what's going on with my kids, and my job. Granted, I've been through a lot. I lost my mom, grandpa, two best friends, and grandmother all within 5 years, found out my husband had been cheating on me, so....yeah and got divorced, so I did develop a bit of "anxiety and depression from all of it", but it isn't my fault that these things happened to me and I know this, but yet and still.....I'm crazy? Well, all I know is that I am *lonely* and it's really starting to get to me. I don't know anyone else except for those people who already have negative opinions of me. It's like someone can do the exact same thing as me or say the same thing, but when I say or do something that is (a bit unperfect), it's horrible. So, I guess I really am crazy, huh?
I am always pretending to be someone else. Am I crazy?
I was wondering if escapism can be taken too far or if it is necessarily a bad thing? I have done this as far back as I can remember, even when I was a little kid. I guess I just always felt like I didn't belong/ low self esteem and that life was just pointless and monotonous. So I would start to pretend I was someone else and make up stories in my head about my life as this other person. I know its normal to fantasize, but the thing is I do this all the time, every day. It usually will start by getting really into a tv show or a book or something. I'll be drawn to a character or an actor and become obsessed with them and start pretending I am them. on the outside I act perfectly normal, but on the inside I have all these story lines going on in my head. In a way I guess I'm protecting myself from feeling alone, because in these fantasies I'm always surrounded by people. But i'm also concerned that my own life is passing me by and I should be enjoying being myself. Does this make any sense? Does anybody else do this? I feel completely crazy most of the time and that nobody would possibly understand. I also had an abusive childhood so I don't know if that plays into it but it's really embarassing most the time and nobody understands me
