Annoying things:
People who consequently refer to themselves as "crazy". As in: "Don't mind me, I'm just crazy," or "I was never like everyone else, I was always a bit crazy," or "crazy me, dancing in the moonlight".
Why would you want to be crazy?
I believe it is linked to the misconception that if you're crazy, you're different, and if you're different, you are not like everyone else. And everybody want to be an individual as opposed to disappearing in the crowd.
Except that I suspect that if you have to draw attention to your alleged craziness like that, you're not crazy at all. And you have an inferiority complex.
Hey, it's Catch-22 all over again: if you're sane enough to realise you're crazy, you're not crazy at all.
So there. Rest in yourself. Forget about what other people think. Be as boring as you like, or as interesting as you like, but stop telling me what you're like. 'Cause it's likely that I won't believe you.
