Stop asking such silly questions. We all know the answer!

As crazy as you…
It’s called teenageritis don’t worry you will grow out of it and its completely normal.
I think you suffer from overpunctuationitis. Common symptoms are: using more than one question mark in a sentence, using more than one exclamation mark in a sentence. The more punctuation marks used, the worse the condition. Don’t worry, it’s not life-threatening and is usually grown out of by about age 25 at the latest, although there are rare exceptions.
a simple no probably does it for most, however dont worry you dont have to be sane, most people are not, as long as you are not insane you should be ok….
Only about 2.5% of people are sane.
Overpunctuationitis is a condition that, like its lettered counterpart – hyperlexia (overly good spelling, frequently corrects others’ spelling mistakes) is easily treatable.
The recommended intervention is to move away from the computer and email, and take up texting (especially on the old flip phones that lack a keyboard). One rapidly sheds the extreme nuisance of correct spelling and punctuation. This treatment has a fantastic record of success. Both of the above conditions resolve completely after just a few days of introducing the treatment program.
Physicians are generally exempt from this, as they simply scribble on a prescription pad, need no punctuation or spelling, and are way too busy dealing with the bludgeoning responsibility of insurance friendly documentation to text, email, or blog. No physician was ever taught how to spell stethoscope, electroencephalograph (only its acronym EEG), or countless other long medical terms.
It is called the teen years, and only time can cure that.
Sanity? Sorry, never heard about it.
ye notasheep, and its more common in females
Its called being alive.
Doctors have reported excellent results by teaching patients to make it through a sentence without using the word “like” when unnecessary.
TLIK – I beg to differ, overpuntuationitis cannot be cured by texting, since most people on the texting treatment program tend to use multiple exclamation marks and question marks.
As for hyperlexia, I will admit to being a sufferer, and have no intention of taking treatment. Bad spelling and grammar is just unprofessional and wrong, and when I see it on menus, shops and school notices (for goodness’ sake) I really cringe. But most teenagers will grow out of overpunctuationitis.
Shopping
I would get a second opinion!
@WIY – I second that! If you’re being serious, you should definitely make sure you’re consulting with somebody who knows what they’re talking about.
Are you sane? that depends what do the voices in your head think?
Mental health is of course nothing to make fun of hence this thread should be closed.
Goq are you being serious?
Yes i am, I don’t think the OP really thinks she’s insane and the line about aspirin was indicative of that, mental illness is an illness and thus should not be made fun of.
Shoppping:
You could go through the same process I did. It took a couple of years, I finally got my certificate of normality. (valid for one year)
she wasn’t making fun of mental illness, she was making fun of insanity. There’s a difference.
I’m still here.
Life tends to be more entertaining when sanity is thrown out the window. (both good and bad. Some of the greatest people in the world would have been classified crazy today)
froggie, what’s normal? Normal is boring…
I think the question shopping asked has passed through everyones mind at some point during their lives. So heres the answer: Maybe. But as long as your insanity is doing no harm (whether to you or the ppl around you) it doesnt matter.
HELP!!! My certificate expires today!!!
Good, now life will get more interesting for you again.
Why?
because being normal is boring
Why be normal in the first place?
To quote someone famous,”Normal is relative; we’re not related.”
To quote someone unknown, “Hey, you don’t even know who I am”.
How do you know? And besides, if i was quoting someone, then it probobly was not you, which would make it completely irrelevant if we are related or not.
I honestly don’t know why someone would choose to be normal. Shudder. Being slightly daft is so much fun!
<<Warning People>> (aliens too)
It’s starting to have an effect!
(hey, where am I?)
Being way eccentric is even funner! (“Funner” is a word. It always was one, but now I invented another definition for is: the original definition multiplied by 3.14000000000.)
How about 3.141592653589?
Sorry, just showing off. Why can’t I remember the other things, like where I put my shopping?
That’s the point. It’s called Pie, not Pi, but it’s raw. Maybe the recipe meant to bake it at 350 degreews, not the way I did it (in a cold oven for 350 minutes)!
+3.14000000000000000000000000 😉
