Eight Signs Your Crazy Is Showing

A generation of normalized psychopaths explained.

Eight Signs Your Crazy Is Showing

I would like to give a shout-out to the "how-ever-many-things men say women are crazy about but they really aren't" articles that defend women's rights to say their feelings are hurt, that they are jealous or that they have strong emotions. Go feminism!

All women are crazy, though. And while the things in those articles are justifiable, such as showing healthy emotions and communicating them effectively, our generation doesn't always do so appropriately. And sometimes, you really are crazy.

Here are ten things our generation has normalized that are totally insane:

1. Psycho Texting

One text really does get the message across.

"I'm not crazy. I just want to know where he is. And what he's doing. And who he's with. I'm curious. Also, I want to know if he got my last text. Like is he just not receiving them? Let me try texting you to see if it goes through."

2. Snapchat Friends

Snapchat made it so you couldn't see other people's best friends and scores on purpose. Don't manipulate the system.

"I see that there is no longer a heart next to your name on my Snapchat friends. This is really confusing for me because you are my best friend on Snapchat. So either I'm going to sue Snapchat for getting it wrong or YOU TELL ME WHO SHE IS."

3. Friend Jealousy

Your best friend can't go out. She's tired. She's busy. She has plans with someone else. That doesn't mean she's not your best friend.

"I bet she's really with Trina. I know she secretly likes her even though she talks about her around me. I bet she tells Trina they are best friends too."

4. Fabricating Situations

Picturing your dude with another woman in any made-up scenario in your head is crazy. It's not real. And you probably just piss yourself off.

"I had a dream that you cheated on me. How could you do that to me?"

5. Accusing Dishonesty

If your man tells you he was at the bar, he's already afraid he's in trouble for leaving you at home. And yes, there were girls there. But if he wanted to hit on those girls, he wouldn't be in a relationship with you.

"Oh really? You were just at the bar with your friends? And there were no girls there?"

6. Questioning Compliments

If someone says you look good, you probably just look good. Unless you're Lindsay Lohan and your best friend is a Plastic.

"Do they really think I'm pretty? Or did they just say that to make me think about it? Was that, like, actually a stab? Does that mean the opposite of what they said?"

8. Binge-Drinking

When you're drunk, everything that is normally filtered is actually barfed out onto everyone around you via word vomit, or actual vomit, and that's when the real crazy shows. There is no one single, coherent example of this.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
