Is it normal to act insane when you're not?

Hear me out, this is not for attention. My life sucks and is boring, NO I am not some loser that does nothing, I have a job, I have 2 degrees, I have plenty of skills, I have traveled, I am attractive, I have things to do. But I don't give a shit about any of that. I feel like doing things that are "crazy" just so that maybe I could disappear or even be abducted by aliens like some of these other "crazy" people supposedly did. I just want to start living an alternate reality and get out of here but unfortunately since im not "crazy" that is difficult to do. I am a loner I go out for drunk walks in the middle of the night while smoking various herbs (not drugs) in a pipe to alter the mood of life and like to go inside abandoned houses, into the woods, etc. by myself secretly hoping that I die or at least leave this world or find some reason to keep going. I know that alien abductions aren't "real" but it's kind of more like symbolic than literal, of something else happening to my life without disturbing anyone who may care more about it than i do.

    Seems you're seeking an escape from your current reality. Dreaming with your eyes wide open sucks if you're in a nightmare. It's good that you're experimenting with drastic changes to your lifestyle

    I'm like a chimpanzee, in a tree, jumping up and down, warning other chimpanzees when I see a big cat coming through the woods... I'm the weirdo? Because I'm sitting in a tree going OOH OOH AAH AAH AAH OOH AAH AAH OOH OOH OOH AAH AAH AAH AAH AAH!?

  • Had the same mindset when I was younger. Key is to not take yourself so seriously. Your life is insignificant, just like everyone else's. No strange event is going to change that.

    May aswell put up with it, it's all we can do.

    You sound a lot like me, except for the aliens. Go help others: friends, strangers, animals. You're not doing anything better so why not. Be a martyr, but in the good sense of the word. Sacrifice your time for others' well being. It beats wandering in the woods smoking herbs that aren't weed? Lmk! You may find a purpose and meet people and things can be better than just okay.

    You're a special snowflake. Under the imperial degree of His majesty, the Queen of Pane, you are under arrest for violating Normie law section Kappa-321. You will be sent to the mines in downtown L.A. to drone away at piles of paperwork with no meaning or purpose whatsoever. You will do this all monday to friday from 9am to 5pm for the rest of your miserable life for commiting such a despicable act, you'll have free time, including vacations, but your mind is already broken, and it's not like you can ever achieve anything worthwhile in the vacations, or in your allocated time to breathe, breed, eat and sleep. The decision is final and there can be no parole. Ever. Your only salvation is death. If you have the balls to commit suicide, and face the fact your wife isn't going to mourn for even a week.

    The more responsibility you take on willingly, the richer your life will be.

    Find something to be responsible for and bear that burden. A good person to start with is your future self.

      • I'm kind of with bubsy on this. Have you tried doing charity or volunteer work?

        I personally have discovered that living only for myself is boring and unfulfilling.
        There's a certain charm and joy that comes from knowing that you made a positive difference in someone's life.

        Though, perhaps this is better advice for someone struggling with depression.

        If that's too vanilla for you, idk.

        • Heh, I kinda just automatically ignore that guy's advice cuz I've seen from his other posts he's a complete dumbass/troll. And I highly doubt "have kids" is very good advice to give to someone to cure their life issues, that just sounds horribly irresponsible, so I stopped taking him seriously at that point.

          Anyway, yes I have done volunteer work. It is pretty fun and rewarding.

          It helps in the short-run, and I should get back into it one of these days. It's just hard to find the motivation for anything. Thanks though.

        A good example of responsibility taken on willingly is to have and raise a few kids.

        It isn't boring, it isn't easy, but it is fulfilling.

            Just remember this: if you hate yourself, it's because you don't do anything.

            • I don’t hate myself, and as I said in the very first line of the post I have lots going on. Did you even read, or are you just shitposting for attention?

    Are you insane like me?
    Been in pain like me?
    Bought a hundred dollar bottle of champagne like me?
    Just to pour that mother****er down the drain like me?
    Would you use your water bill to dry the stain like me?

    Are you high enough without the Mary Jane like me?
    Do you tear yourself apart to entertain like me?
    Do the people whisper about you on the train like me?
    Saying that you shouldn't waste your pretty face like me?

    Totally feel the same way and did the things you did..But recently got into meditation and hopefully learn to be truly contented with this mundane life.

    Trust me you don't want to be or even considered 'crazy'.
    I used to walk to stupid places in the middle of the night and I ended up getting picked up by the police.
    If the police pick you up and conclude that you're mentally unwell they'll likely detain you for safety. Worst case scenario you get locked up, lose your freedom and get drugged out of your tree.
    If things really suck you should talk to somebody now before things get even more complicated.
    Also, alien abductions are real

    • Sounds fun.
      I have already talked to somebody, 4 or 5 different people actually, they didn't help. They just say "you're depressed" and either give you medications to mask your symptoms, or tell you what you can just read off the internet anyway.
      God I hope Alien abductions are real. I want to meet the Pleiadians so badly.

        Some people say meds are helpful, I'm totally anti meds though so may not be the best person to talk to xD
        As for aliens they're everywhere just be patient.

          Everyone seems alien to me. Plus look at all the weird creatures on this planet alone!!

          I don't know why people want to meet aliens. We wouldn't be able to talk to them. We can't even understand other humans.

            That's because humans are getting stupider and less human every day as we make all these technological advances.
            Anyway you're probably coming into contact with alien life every day. Just as we evolved, other things are evolving from alien microbes all the time.
            We either can't see them with the naked eye, or they've already evolved into something we think of as normal, or maybe you can hear/see things other people can't. I mean who's got the physical evidence to say it's an 'illness' rather than some other life?

              I like how you think on this topic. Perhaps trees are just very slow moving alien life forms that exist on a different time perspective. How would we know??

      • Being suicidal is not freedom, it’s agony. You’re enslaved to your agony. Don’t wish for it.

        What do you mean by the freedom to feel suicidal? I just feel like I do, there's no question of freedom regarding my feelings. No one can police my emotions.

            Well, I'm not saying it's good to feel bad. I've dealt with feeling suicidal before myself, and it's a nightmare, but what I don't understand is not having the freedom to feel feelings. I just feel my feelings, good or bad I just feel my emotions.
