Most insane people know they are insane and if you know that and it dosen't bother you then you are insane.
The voice in my head told me that.

You can't know if you're insane or not, because if you're insane your whole life will seem absolutely normal to you as your mad brain rationalises it, and you may not even realise what your doing, or if you do not realise that it is strange. I went to an institution for the mentally ill once for a charity thing, and most of them sad in their padded-walled rooms thinging they were on an extended holiday. It was quite heartwarming though - they didn't realise about any of the shit in the world, and so they were much happier then most people. I'm considering insanity myself, have tried it a couple of times but can't seem to get into it. I suppose it just happens :).

I work with a lot of 'insane' people. Most of them are not aware of being insane. It just depends on what kind of chemical/neurological/psychological problem you exactly have.
Most schizophrenics that I've come across are fully aware that they're insane. However, guys that have smoked so many drugs that they're effectively and permanently high. Tend NOT to be aware of their insane behavior.

Also if you've seen the movie Memento that's actually way more what amnesia is like, not what most media portrays it as.

I talk to myself... in english. even though it's not my first language. also when I'm bored I can make up all kinds of insane things. one time I made a drumset out of pot lids and had a very loud drumsolo...
(I get bored a lot, one of the reasons I play videogames...)

EDIT: am I insane?, eeehh, I would go with "bored with vivid imagination" but by human standards, yeah, maybe I am.
*giggles to himself*

BTW this is a song with a theme I firmly believe:

In the unlikely event that anyone ever meets a sane person then please put them out of their misery. This world isn't for them.

I know I'm not insane because I'm constantly telling myself "Don't be crazy", and thus I have achieved super sanity. Insane people don't bother to do that!
Oh yes, those insane people are far too irrational too attempt something like that.

Yeah thats the whole point, if no one knows that they're insane, then how can we trust others to know that they're not insane and tell you that you're insane?

Geddit?

i am merely slightly nuts. Is this the same? And do there have to be voices to be mad anyway? Lots of people act on instinct. Or that's what Mysterious Penguin says. And he wouldn't lie. Would he?
