Simple, you'll finally start thinking you're sane.

It used to be commonly said that the insane always seem completely sane to themselves.

So when you stop worrying about going insane, that's when you know you've arrived at blissful insanity.

It's in a book somewhere, but I'm too lazy to think of which one.

Yeah, but I think science progressed a little bit past that in the 1950s though.   :-\

We're all insane, what we call "insane" is just a developed version of it.

Damn, that's pretty fucking lazy!!!! Can't even sit there and subconsciously let nature takes it's course.....

Aside from that, I've heard the saying/phrase too, but didn't know there was a book about it (kind of a he said/she said/passed down through the years kind of thing).

Although I promised myself I'd not read a thread started by Chavez, I did and I feel it necessary to respond:


You'll know you're ok

:when there's noone nearby to call the ambulance for you.

Either that, or everyone's taken a wide tack around you.

Other signs:

1. At lunch time, you sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.

2. You finish all your sentences with "in accordance with the prophecy."

3. You sing along at the opera, and act out character parts in movies at the cinema.

4. Five days in advance, you tell your friends you can't attend their party because you're not in the mood.

5. In the memo field of all your checks, you write "for sexual favors."

I think I may go for 2 and 5.  A few times at work, I've thought of falling to the ground writhing and screaming "the ants, the ants, can't you see they're eating me alive?!"  Probably wouldn't have fazed anyone though.  ;D

If you're insane than I might be too, cause I agree with about 90% of your posts.  :-X

The cops told me I had to stop doing that, not because I was impersonating them and I could be arrested/fined, but because of all the traffic accidents from people slowing down and being rear ended.
It was great though, getting people to pay me directly and get out of traffic school.... ;D

I think a pretty good tell is if you continue to make the same mistakes over and over and expect a diff/outcome, your either retarded or are losing it...

Nope, that's called spiritual development, we're supposed to do the same s**t over and over until we get it perfect, that's how come God gave us broad shoulders and thick skin...

apologies for getting my 'call the ambulance' post longwinded and wrong...

what I actually meant to say was that you can't have a nervous breakdown if you're on your own and there's noone to call 999/911.  You just cry all night and get over it.

Get well

Others have asked this question.

"When a person is insane, as you clearly are, do you know that you're insane? Maybe you're just sitting around, reading "Guns and Ammo", masturbating in your own feces, do you just stop and go, "Wow! It is amazing how fucking crazy I really am!"?

good ol' copy and paste from wiki  :D

Quote
n his classic book, The Sane Society, published in 1955, psychologist Erich Fromm proposed that, not just individuals, but entire societies "may be lacking in sanity". Fromm argued that one of the most deceptive features of social life involves consensual validation[1]:

        It is naively assumed that the fact that the majority of people share certain ideas or feelings proves the validity of these ideas and feelings. Nothing is further from the truth... Just as there is a 'Folie à deux' there is a 'folie à millions.' The fact that millions of people share the same vices does not make these vices virtues, the fact that they share so many errors does not make the errors to be truths, and the fact that millions of people share the same form of mental pathology does not make these people sane. (in: Fromm, The Sane Society, Routledge, 1955, pp.14-15)
