in·san·i·ty\in-ˈsa-nə-tē\
noun
1 : a deranged state of the mind usually occurring as a specific disorder (as schizophrenia)
2 : such unsoundness of mind or lack of understanding as prevents one from having the mental capacity required by law to enter into a particular relationship, status, or transaction or as removes one from criminal or civil responsibility
3 a : extreme folly or unreasonableness
b : something utterly foolish or unreasonable
Other forms: plural in·san·i·ties
Examples
his incurable insanity requires that he spend the rest of his life in a mental hospital
everyone laughed at the latest insanity from the town eccentric
had the insanity to think that taking over a government building in protest of our foreign policy was a good idea
First use: 1590
Synonyms: aberration, dementia, derangement, lunacy, madness, mania, rage [archaic]
Antonyms: mind, saneness, sanity
You do have a vivid imagination, and perhaps some behavioural peculiarities, though.
'Eccentric', is probably a better descriptor.
Thanks for the word definition, I never knew that "Insane" was such a big word. "Eccentric" definitely describes my personality better but only when speaking about my mind since I am usually very ordinary psychically.

Greetings, Mr Pedant!
"'Eccentric', is probably a better descriptor."
I think you mean 'description'!

All the best!

We are, all technically 'descriptors', since our subatomic 'signatures', are being stored digitaly in a database in null space.
