Do You Believe That You’re Crazy? That’s Normal
I’ve often asked myself why there are so many “normal” bloggers who like to rant about their wackiness. It is uncommon for me to see “crazy” and “twisted” as their blog’s tagline. I am tempted to maintain my own senseless blog too. I am hoping that a psychologist would come to help me understand why there are so many writers who like to label their blogs as “eccentric”, because when I start to read their blog posts I am more convinced that they are otherwise.
the crazy side of me
I am a huge fan of Reader’s Digest and I have subscribed to their magazines for several years. Now, RD is reaching out to online readers and I am glad that they still have those all-time favorite Reader’s Digest Laughs. Along with that are some of my favorite articles on personality and self-development. One of the topics that caught my eye is Are You Normal or Nuts?
This article provides a good understanding about the common habits that people think are “out of this world”? I am a shy person and I am often afraid that others would hear me. I got the habit of not speaking out online – for fear that others would look at me as stupid. I had to admit, I am sometimes faced with the fear of communicating to new clients through chat. Even speaking through voice conversation evokes fear in me, because I do not like the client to think of me as a stupid person during a Skype or Yahoo chat.
I am happy that RD reached to me with this Are You Normal or Nuts? article to help me understand that I am still a normal person with bouts of madness. Do you think I’m insane when you see me avoiding all the cracks and spaces on the sidewalk?

Hi Gem, Ok lang yan… As for me, wala ako masyado kilala sa mga kapitbahay namin even if I’ve been here for more than 10 years na. Kasi lagi ako nagkukulong sa haus. I’m not the social type kasi. But that don’t bother me. I don’t worry much what other people think… “This is me!” (Tass noo pa yan)
Siguro, what’s NOT NORMAL for me is kumg makita mo akong nangangapitbahay.
Gem, I think it’s “normal” to be a little “mad” — we all have our bouts of craziness. Some are just better at hiding it than others.
If everyone was straight down the line like a robot, the world would be a pretty boring place, wouldn’t it?
Plus, when you have a pretty face like yours, you can tend to get away with being a little more crazy than others, can’t you?
