Is it normal that i want to be insane?

If you were "insane", you'd be beyond rational thought, and wouldn't think you were insane. Of course, it does depend on which kind of "insanity" we're talking about

Take a course in abnormal psychology then. If after that you don't feel satisfied then pretend to be a journalist for your school newspaper and see if you can get an interview with a patient from your local hospitals mental ward.

You're already retarded. You want more? Selfish.

It is not normal. No on asks to be insane, it just happens. You start thinking differently than others, and you start having theories, and sooner or later, you cant decide what is real anymore, your theories rule you, and you are no longer in control of your thoughts. Being insane would suck.

I went through a manic period and convinced myself of ridiculous things. I've been through some stuff, but that was the saddest moment of my life.

People can be insane whenever they want to, depending on the circumstances: deliberately or forcefully!

Insanity is depicted in the movies and series in such a way that a lot of people will find it attractive. I remember a friend couple of days ago saying she would really want an insane guy to have his attention. I refrained from voting, I can tell you it's normal to want to be "cool" as much as insane characters are depicted in the movies, tv series, books etc but I don't think it is normal to be clinically insane for real. It's kind of an oxymoron. Is it normal to be insane? It makes a lot different meaning if you put it the other way around.

You want attention.

Be careful what you wish for :P It might come true :P

Phsyctriatric wards aren't fun and neither is hearing stuff and seeing things (i know) People tell you things that are real to you do not exist and then they tell you what you should and shouldn't be thinking. I'm not insane though.

If you were insane you wouldn't be able to recognize the difference anymore; your mind would be fixed on something irrational. The only way I see that could help you approach that state would be what "Anime7" suggests. Perhaps the hospital mental ward tour could also make you aware of how wrong is to wish for such things.

I imagine it being similar to being on a drug.

I've always wondered what it would be like to lose control of your own mental state. I wouldn't want to permanently be this, but I wish I could walk in a mentally unstable person's shoes or even see through their eyes. Psychology has always intrigued me and had I stayed in school I planned to make a career out of it.

Basically, any type of not normal. A way where I thought completely differently, or saw/heard things no one else did. Maybe even to be a murderer or something of the sort (which I'd never have the guts to do the way I actually am, so don't worry)

What's your definition of 'insane'?
