I talk to a crazy person..do i look crazy too?

That's just it. Most people dont talk to seemingly crazy people because they are unbalanced. You never know how they would react to what you will be talking about. Sure it might seem nice at first but there are just those times that they can go violent on you in a second. Then return to being nice. They wouldnt know the change in themselves. Its just the fear of them being violent with no apparent reason at all thats why people dont talk to them. Well, I admit that I avoid crossing paths with them but I certainly also do not laugh at them or laugh at a person who is talking to them. People like you have the courage to go near them and know their life story by having a simple conversation. Whereas I cant do that, not unless with a facilitator/nurse/doctor around to monitor in case something untoward might happen. Also, people call other people 'crazy' because they just couldnt understand them. If two 'crazy' people are having a conversation thats because they understand each other. That doesnt mean you're also crazy, its just you understand the seemingly crazy person you talked to.

Yes, people are mean. They do not think something like this could happen to them. I see no harm in what you did, and it was not funny. These people are not funny they can not help the way they are. This makes me angry, to see someone like this made fun of. Have a blessed day.

You did a really nice thing by taking time to stop and talk with this girl. Nothing is wrong with you, it's everyone else that has the problem and I think some of it could be fear. It's kind of the same thing as stopping into a nursing home and visiting random people because no one visits them and alot of them are mentally disturbed and lonely. Who knows, maybe talking to some of these people gets their spirits up and you could be the one person that helps change their life! Some times, just a little bit of attention is what gets someone in a different frame of mind. Everyone wants and needs a friend.

Hello neelianoscet. I don't think that you look crazy after reading your story. Instead I think that you a very nice person to have helped this girl out. At least she would not go hungry because of your helping her with some money. But I have never experienced this though I have also given some money to street beggars. Of course, they just leave away when I give them some small money. Anyway, it is not a crazy action to talk to a crazy person. Thank you for being my friend, dear neelianoscet.

Hey, No in my opinion I wouldn't think that you are crazy, that is a good thing to actually do. Not many people talk to the homeless people on the street, and that is a huge mistake to do. How about if they were in her shoes? Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

well i talk to crazy people too - - - just for the fun of it! you know, the ones hanging around on the streets! I'm kinda crazy myself, but in a good & funny way! my friends label it more as 'cool'... but i used to work in a hospital, and have to deal with mentally disturbed people, we have ways on how to talk, approach or even say aorund them...it comes with the job.

That was a lovely thing fore you to do and definitely not normal. People who are intellectually disabled make others feel embarrassed and uncomfortable...this is what you experienced. Your kindness and generosity and thoughtfulness towards this unfortunate lady embarrassed those around you.

People can be so mean. I talk to people if they look like they could use someone to talk to and be nice to them. I get judged all of the time no matter what I do anyway.

I don't think so, crazy people should be respected and be understood. If you find it entertaining to talk with mentally imbalance person I think that is fine. Specialist and doctors do that, however you ae not a doctor aren't you?I think you should not be judge because of talking to crazy people. They are still human, they should be respected. I think you can talk to them but not constantly. We don't know if it can affect you in other ways just to protect yourself.

i hate people like that. they are so judgmental and very insensitive. i dont think talking to a crazy person will make you crazy, actually i admire professionals whose job requires them to take care of mentally impaired individuals.

Hi there I think you are right.You just do something help a poor girl.People should laugh at you.Sometime i do the same thing just like you.Give money to the poor people but my friend always said 'you don't need to do this this world have many poor people can you save all of them'I said 'when i meet one i can and i can help it i will do it'You are not carzy.I am proud of you.

I also talked to mentally ill person when i was assigned in mental hospital.... as if i have a choice.lol kidding a side. Yes, sometimes i talked back and ask some few person questions like you did in able to understand what lead them to mental problem. what you did is a simple way of showing that you care. It is not nice and proper to laugh on someone who is suffering from mental problem beacuse they are in crisis and need a further understanding from the society. I despise those people who act the way your friend did because he/she, the one on the right mind cannot understand what the woman had been through.

I think that girl is not crazy,after all,she will only be a temporary boost in a state of unusual mental and sometimes also can be forgiven,not entirely sure that she is a lunatic,she Moreover you also state your is a very compassionate,kind-hearted good man!Come on!

Hello neelianosct this is checkmail and often do some talk with crazy as well as poor peoples, and don't think peoples mind it much.But yes its funny or odd for the peoples as well as for me it someone goes and talks to a crazy or poor person, it looks crazt too.But the reason behind this might be the habbit of the crazy or the poor persons not to follow advices, means waste of time.And about our daily instances its all the going around and the response to it, its some funny, odd, irritating, etc which might get crazy as well as looks crazy.

Personally, from what you said, i think the girl would be fine, with the help of someone like yourself, that is willing to be kind. Sometimes, that is all that is needed, is simply to help someone just a little, and give them a boost of confidence. It sounds like she may have had a very hard life already, and the kindness that you showed to her, could make a huge difference in her life.

It is believed that people get the character of a person or a group with whom they are closer though they may be of good nature.

From your story I think she isn't crazy but I think she was damaged mentally. I am saying she isn't crazy because you said after a while of talking to her she talked normally. She was damaged so much that she has no more pride or ego. She should be able to recover if someone gives a helping hand. Since she talked with you she might be able to recover with your help. I say go for it if you are financially capable. You will have a good tingly feeling that you helped get someone back up on her feet. I had a similar expirience but this guy was crazy. He wants to buy something so he asked for a dime. What can you get for a dime?? It also seems also obvious he has no money and is basically living off of what the storage shed owner gives him probably inexchange to watch his storage sheds which is next door to this guy. His hous looks like trash and he has directv and one dog possibly also bought by the shed owner as it barks at who ever comes near the sheds. You can tell he is looney by looking at him. His eyes look exactly the the nut cases they potray in looney toons and old mgm cartoons.

There is never anything wrong with having compassion towards another person. That is what you were doing just that, showing them compassion.

I believe you were very nice to have gave her some money and talked to her. I'm sure you made her day. People don't understand that they are being insensitive because they think that... Oh well they must have dome something stupid or they must be nuts to live on the streets. But it's not like they CHOOSE to be there. Things happen in life that are out of their control and it does happen that they have nothing left. If everyone would help out once in a while like you have done then for sure there would be alot more happy homeless out there with just a bit more in their empty stomachs.

Just ignore them, theres a difference between mental and crazy. I always talk to mentally ill patients when im in hospital.. its really normal if you ask me.
