Poll: Do you think you are or going insane?

[Fightgarr]

Undying and obsessive love of dragons aside, I have my mental disorders under control. In fact, they help me.

 

[Trivun]

People on the internet are insane. But then, that just makes them worse. More ways to spy...

(looks shiftily around)

What?

 

[Sarcastic Chimp]

I swear to god, whenever im comfortable, I hear the phone go off. I get up and the phone hasn't rung or never rung.....Its so weird. But its probably since im usually doing something I can't get up from and vital when that damn thing goes off.......

Then the phone tells me to kill my dog...lol jk

I hear the phone go off and the achievement noise. Occasionaly i have dreams and then they actually happen. Like I have a conversation or do something in a dream and then it will happen a few days later. I've seen TV that hasn't been shown yet and read magazines in dreams, then bought them and felt like I've wasted money because I've read it before. What is that?

I know how you feel I get those too, exept mine realy are promonitions but they happen like one time I'll see somthing and 2/3 months later I see it happen. It feels strange doesent it?

Yeah it does. I've had the same thing you talk about but they seem to be in no order. I can see some things and they'll happen quicker then others. Nice to meet someone with the same problem. I've done what someone else mentioned: planned out someone's death right to the last detail. Eeep.

Everybodys going crazy, the only differences are how fast, and if you are helping it along.

I'v never done that but giving the state of my mind I'm not a far cry from doing it (the death and the plan).

 

[LuckySeven]

Yeah actually, but to me it's ok. I left handers are more prone to schizophrenia anyways

If thats true then im probably going to at least have some mildproblems. You see my parent are divorced and i can clearly remember talking to myself a few years back. But time will tell i guess and whats going to happen will.

 

[Fraeir]

Being normal is overrated!
I'm an artist, we're bound to be insane! 8D
I hear my name being mentioned whenever I'm really tired, such as the time I was up for 57 hours straight. Or I've been tied up in tape, while I was wearing a huge beret and a blanket as a cloak (last year, actually).
I occasionally speak to myself, simple short sentences and that, until the conversation keeps going in my head...


DON'T JUDGE ME! D8<

 

[BardSeed]

I've had those dreams that come true; they're usually about something mundane. Months later I could be doing something trivial and receive a feeling of deja vu. I've also heard the achievement sound when my Xbox is turned off.
When I saw this thread, my first thought was that it was created as a sort of progress check, created by "them". "Them" being the controllers, the ones who pull the strings. Yes, I get the Truman show feeling; I think my life is something like a big social experiment. I especially get this feeling around coincidences, like singing mustang Sally and then hearing it on the radio a few minutes later.. It's like they're playing with my head.

 

[theCMNDER]

With almost every descision I make in my head, a second voice says that I'm wrong and should do the opposite, and if I'm thinking about something complex enough, more voices will give other ideas. Often allows me to think about something from all sides which can be good for forming an objective view - it's just weird that it doesn't feel like it is me considering every angle, but rather many people. It's like theres a small group of people who don't agree on anything with one another in my head. Feels like I have grown out of this though, as it doesn't happen very often or to the extent it used to.

I also consider myself to suffer from mild paranoia. Many people will say they hear things every now and then, and most people have had that weird feeling that theres spiders over them when they try to sleep. But have you seen things or felt things (more substantial than that spider feeling, like a hand on your shoulder). Again, I feel I have grown out of this somewhat though, as I haven't really had any problems like this in a long time, but when I was younger I would get weird images etc. quite often. Also caused me to be afraid of the dark, which I still am to a certain extent.

Hearing gaming sounds as people have mentioned seems somewhat mundane to me, I thought all us gamers had that problem?

EDIT: Totally forgot that I talk to myself sometimes. Not much, like theres someone at my school who does which gets kind of weird, but I have a tendency to speak my thoughts out loud when I'm by myself, and I try to say it as if I was explaining something complicated to someone else.

I must seem totally mad...

 

[Xskill]

My Psyche is slowly deteriorating due to insomnia, my leg is crippled and is in extreme pain, and I keep getting the feeling something somewhere, is going to get me...It's inevitable.

 

[k3v1n]

yeah, don'w worry my fellow crazy bastard, I've also heard being called only to know that there is no one in the house, or sometimes I hear music in my head.....ooh and I once mistook one of those wine bottle openers wth a stimpak, it was after I had played fallout 3 all night

 

[Rock Avich]

Okay, I was on the laptop and crap and I start dosing because I'm laying down on a pillow and suddenly all this noise is there while I'm half-asleep and it starts rising in volume like a wave or something and in the background I can hear music (this happens to me a number of times, always a different song, every time I have no music on or the music I hear is different then what is playing) and suddenly I hear my name being called and then I'm awake again in the length of 5 minutes, never more, sometimes less.

If that happens to everyone, then goody, I'm not insane.

But then there's my paranoia...

I can reason to myself no matter what and it can even be something dumb, but I'm still going to believe in it. Like one night during the weekend I was scared stiff of going outside my room, and no matter how bad I had to pee, I could not get myself out there.

Maybe that's just a little bit over paranoid and doesn't count as insanity.

Either way, I'm answering maybe on this poll.

Oh I talk to myself all the time, but more to sort things out in my brain.

I do have random outbursts of rage though

Damn it! They're on to me!

 

[ProfessorLayton]

I occasionally have dreams about video games if I played nonstop all day, but nothing like this.

 

[Splyth]

Where's the fun in being normal

 

[Twilight_guy]

I'm not insane, just ask my friend Jim. Tell them Jim.
*motions to thin air*


I shouldn't have spent the night in Vault 106.

 

[Combined]

No, Not at all.

 

[xXGeckoXx]

I am insane. I always have known that i was slightly off the hook but i'm not the harmful unconscious sort of crazy who should be locked up but insane never the less. I would list my many glitches but i wont (i dont want to).

No, thankfully I consider myself fairly sane. I would say that the biggest threat to my sanity is my intelligence and need to pose philosophical questions with no answers, but I think that's more likely to drive me to suicide than insanity.

About you though, that's quite odd. I would say that either you're going crazy, your house is haunted, or it's fairly normal to occasionally hear sounds that you often hear and are conditioned to react to. I don't know.

A bit like that except i answer those questions...

 

[Meanmoose]

I consider myself sane....but somtimes my consept of time goes all wrong. Time moves way to fast and i need to sit still and think about nothing or lie down then it goes away eventually.

I also do strange things, but thats not insane because I find it amusing. If there is a reason for doing it it is not insane.

To all those thinking of killing people... I think its pretty normal of imagining things like that. I think its a legacy of our time as apes or whatever. All animals know the best way they would attack something is. Thinking about makes you better.(Pherhaps)Also death is an interesting concept, thinking about interesting stuff is sane in my book.
