I admire your honesty. Thats what I love about the internet. You can tell complete stranger thst your an insane bisexual who does drugs ocasionally and nobody flinches.

I think I'm sane, but people always tell me I'm crazy. I think what keeps me so powerfully sane is my lack of compassion for or valuing of human life. My unique logic train is the basis of my sanity, and a key tenet of it is that nothing inherently has more value than anything else. If all things are basically equal- but not basically the same, then I am aware that the universe and its contents exist, but claim no further knowledge than what is in the present and available to my perception. Also my firm conviction that I'm smart, despite all evidence to the contrary.

ZippyDSMlee:
Masturbation,Anime,Writing,...oh wait was I suppose to answer that, truthfully :P

My missah.

The Iron Ninja:

Hey!... I am not bisexual

I think my sanity stays in check knowing that I can irritate the hell out of people, and make their day that much worse.

Honestly when I really think about it I can think of no real reason as to why I shouldn't just off myself. I doubt I ever will though, so I guess what keeps me sane is just my unwillingness to become insane.

Maybe music too. =)

The only thing that keeps me sane is sweet sweet caffine and spore comeing out this sunday WOO!!!

I like to think I'm sane but I admit I secretly know that this is just a fantasy dreamworld and everything else in it is a figment of my imagination. My imagination is pretty dull to come up with things like bills, college but makes it back up with friends and girls.

my normally bubbly personality
my positive outlook on life
my personal relation with god
and my will save of +6

Q: What keeps you sane?

A: The fact that I can wiggle my toes.

Q: ??!!

A: Yes, really.... because I figure that the day I cannot do that any more I will really miss it. As long as I can still wiggle my toes I am still alive and not paralyzed. With that my life cannot be enough shite to warrant becoming insane.

/S

I can also crack the joints in my toes and i can do it each second its cool, ohhh my neck cracking sounds so weird as well. I can also twist my arm around 3 times without it breaking, so thats pretty cool i think.

Then of course there is the question: What could make you go insane?

Well now I can just point at abysss's and Zio's posts and say "Pretty much of that".

/S

as a great man once said: The only people who are truly insane are those who wholeheartly claim they are not. of course this man was the local village drunk and the called him shifty steve.

Oh and also what makes me go insane are kids on x-box live and people who act tough.
Thats pretty much it i think i have more maybe later.

Rickrolling people on Youtube!

I'm an evil bastard, watch out!

abysss:

people like that give me re-assurance in my sanity because i know that even though i act very weirdly 80% of the time that there are people dumber than me

The first four seasons of M*A*S*H keep me sane.

As you may presume from one of my previous posts, I've had and 8 year running involvement with an assortment of psychiatric institutes. From personal experience, I can attest to the fact that the cornocopia of mental problems that can afflict a person are seldom if ever entertaining. More accurately, they are ugly, painful, pathetic and debilitating.

Ironically, both within the 'community' of those diagnosed with psychiatric disorders and in the general public, insanity is fetishized. I suppose most see it as either a desirable eccentricity to add some sparkle to their self concept, or as an avenue to act in defiance of societal conventions while being absolved of the ownership of their behavior.

Within the psychiatric patient community, it can actually engender a degree of empathy or understanding to share your diagnosis to your fellow crazies. Although they might be fucked up, individually, I've found people harbouring any manner of mental disorder to often be more accepting and tolerant of differences in others. I suppose every cloud has a silver lining, if you agree the glass is half full.

Sorry to hear that you have not been at full health. Having had people dear to me, or famliy members of people dear to me, been afflicted with such illnesses, I can attest it's no picnic.

That said... what we are discussing here - when reading between the lines - is not "true" insanity, and everyone knows that.

Perhaps the question would have been better phrased as: "What serves to keep your frustration down, and which allows you to relax from stress and things that annoy you greatly?". It's just aht the question becomes a bit long then.

/S

Thanks for the kind words. I do alright though, respectively.

Yeah, I got the jist of the thread, just figured I'd throw in a more literal anecdote. In keeping with the discussion though...

Incessant creativity: writing, composing music, programming synthesziers, sketching (pen & ink), photoshop-ing, video editing, animation. Keeps the head-noise focused. Beyond that, cycling, videogames, reading, movies, games, collecting things of interest. Head fuel.

I write stand-up comedy jokes and pretend people laugh at them. Honestly, I live a very secluded life and get almost no human interaction, so I need to at least pretend someone is around or that if someone was around they would enjoy being around me.

The Escapist. I have little time between work and collegem so it's nice to be alone and type a few rants and read others for a few hours. Spending time with friends. Watching movies and playing games. As well as attending weekly blood orgies.

Nothing. Muhahahahahaha!

(seriously, though? Video games. Especially big, complicated, impenetrable video games like the ones Paradox Interactive makes.)

The only thing keeping me sane is Canada and how cool it is.

Video Games keep me sane, If I never got to play games like GTA or Counter-Strike I probably would have gone on a killing spree a long time ago.

Other people.

The distant hope that sometime in my life I will get off this damp, dreary Isle and go somewhere warm and interesting -_-
and never look back.
God I hate Britan ;_;

In the meantime, anime, music and video games.

I need a holiday XD
