When you're with a group of semi-psychotic people, you kind of lose track of reality; it's almost like being in some sort of cult or something.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My experience is that when one is in psychosis, you're on a mission and nothing is going to stop you. At some level your brain is telling you you probably shouldn't be doing this, but you're on a mission.
When I create characters, I create a world to inhabit and they begin to feel very real for me. I don't belong in a psych ward, I don't think, but they become very real, like my own family, and then I have to say goodbye, close the door, and work on other things.
Psychopaths are actually, really, really, really rare in our culture, are people who don't... Or in society, in the world. They're people who don't feel guilt. They're people who don't feel fear. I think that most of us feel those things. There's a kind of... They're almost like superheroes. Not to glorify them, but you know what I mean?
I'm not psycho... I just like psychotic things.
Sometimes it's the crazy people who turn out to be not so crazy.
There is no such condition as 'schizophrenia', but the label is a social fact and the social fact a political event.
I always think that people who are - maybe 'insane' is too strong a word, but there's more of a spiritual connection. Sometimes they can see below the surface.
To some extent, people who are insane are nonconformists, and society and their family wish they would live what appear to be useful lives.
The experience and behavior that gets labeled schizophrenic is a special strategy that a person invents in order to live in an unlivable situation.
Please hear this: There are not 'schizophrenics.' There are people with schizophrenia.
