What makes you seem crazy to other people?

[angelaa73]

I dress my kids up like the barbies i never had. thanks, ma!

[nursewife]

My basket of medications.

My cabinet FULL of makeup. Is it bad that I kind of need another one already?

My eagerness to share EVERYTHING on my mind without a filter.

My love for assisting with procedures that include a lot of blood, puss, and stitches. Plus I get a bit of a rush in more urgent situations.

[blondemoment123]

I drink most things from a straw.

I prefer to eat sandwiches with a fork.

I love Disney. Not to the point of you see it all over my house, but I do love it.

I can not sleep if the bed isn't made up first. I feel tangled and claustrophobic.

I have to check the windows, doors, and stove probably 3 times before I can comfortably leave the house without fear of it burning to the ground.

I talk out loud to myself and my cats all of the time.

I love my cats like I gave birth to them (we don't have children and probably never will by choice).

I have really bad anxiety in general and sometimes separation anxiety when away from H if my generic anxiety is acting up. H just loves when this happens. Not.

I polish my nails probably 5 times a week (changing colors,playing with designs, etc.)

I'm sure there's more. Positive.

"You can feel deep attachment to a long-term partner while you feel intense romantic love for somebody else, while you feel the sex drive for people unrelated to these other partners. In short, we're capable of loving more than one person at a time. In fact, you can lie in bed at night and swing from deep feelings of attachment for one person to deep feelings of romantic love for somebody else. It's as if there's a committee meeting going on in your head as you are trying to decide what to do. So I don't think, honestly, we're an animal that was built to be happy; we are an animal that was built to reproduce. I think the happiness we find, we make. And I think, however, we can make good relationships with each other." --Helen Fisher

What I mean, is that, I would have more than one sexual partner, more than one connection.

FarmVille you are kidding about the pubes right? Because that is so weird that I must meet you to stare and try to understand.

Imback I don't think you are remotely crazy. I get your love feelings. Wonder if your h felt the way that you do about others if you'd feel possessive of him/the relationship, or no?

I get crushes on people sometimes. I am an obvious crusher when it happens, which isn't often. It is delightfully awful.

This whole episode has been very good for our relationship.  We've talked so much about other people and attraction and re-drawn lines and I have been very, very open with H and he has been so, so understanding and that's all been good.  

I would be more than happy for H to have a connection with another woman if it made him happy like B. made me happy.  We've talked all about it.  The whole thing was mostly a blessing.  I was heart bruised there at the end and I am still getting over it, but I am trying to just walk away with the positive feeling I had during.

I am also very obvious, which just makes everything so messy.  This was my first and hopefully only married crush +.  I haven't even really second-glanced anybody before. We've been married ten and a half years.

It's a running joke that I'm only married to cover my inner "extra" crazy cat lady.

I talk to my pets. But the real crazy is that I have created distinct voices and personalities for each of them and they "talk" to me too. My H also does this. We are both aware that it is certifiable.

[justkly]

I have a dark sense of humor.

I'm loud, but an introvert.

I'm very straight and to the point. I mean absolutely no harm, but I think my lack of femininity in this regard is hard for a lot of women to handle. I am not one of those females that claims to be a guys girl. I love girly things and women, but I grew up with 3 brothers and my dad. No mom. I'm not that good at relating to women or being on their level. If that makes any sense, whatsoever.

I basically feel like I'm one giant oxymoron.

[sugarbear]

I'm ridiculously sensitive and cry at least once a day.

I engage in stupid athletic endeavors without really thinking them through or training for them. I just assume I'll be able to do it.

I don't go anywhere without my kindle. I read in the bathroom, while pumping gas, sometimes even while grocery shopping.

[wannabe]

Oh yeah...I don't drink.

[Captain Serious]

My purple hair

The fact that we adopted "older," special needs kids without first trying to conceive for no other reason than we wanted to build our family that way, and would do it again if we thought we could handle it. Instead, we are thinking of sponsoring a girl in Peru who has significant needs that we just don't feel capable of managing as parents.

That we will leave our comfortable lifestyle to relocate to rural Vermont and start over by choice (not for a job, family, or any of the usual suspects)

That I love adventure travel to mountains and typically hate the idea of a relaxing, beach vacation

[darthnbjenni]

Being an agnostic liberal that married into a conservative fundamental baptist Bob Jones family in South Carolina. I'm surprised I haven't been involuntarily committed yet.

This is where I think you are crossing a scary line that you don't yet realize. It's like the line before the end, unless you make some major changes. I've seen a lot of people toot their own horns about things like this that "make their relationship stronger". In actuality, it is something that you are trying to sell yourself. Step back and realize that this was all so incredibly wrong and never do it again. Coming back from something like that a second time is not very likely.

I don't think this makes you crazy. I think entering into a relationship with "more" doesn't work unless the base relationship is rock solid. You've posted openly about marriage issues that make people worry you are using the outside relationship as a crutch and who worry about your family if things fall apart.

[agnes]

farmvillelover, those roots are oddly satisfying. I get you.

But not the envelope full of hair kind. LOL

[agnes]

I sing all the time. I'm one of THOSE people.

[joenali]

I can't use chopsticks. I've tried, and tried and tried. I must have really bad dexterity and it just feels so awkward and I can't ever grab the food. I'm the ass at the sushi place that asks for a fork.

Lol. You are not alone. My dad has always told me that I have zero coordination. I never really understood him until late adulthood. It's a wonder that I can walk.

[sonrisa]

Eh. If you seem crazy to the people around you, then perhaps it's time for more interesting friends ;-)

[Saint Monica]

I feel perfectly normal...until I see people give me the wtf face.

[luckyval]

I try to make jokes and stumble over the words.

I'm about as fidgety as a crack head.

My eyes water up really easily, particularly when I yawn or start laughing. CWers are perplexed by this.

I dig at ad mess with my right ear a lot because my hearing aid annoys me. I know that's uncouth but I don't care.

No I'm in the DC area.

Washing my hands immediately before I eat. I won't touch anything, or anyone, after I wash up.

It is perfectly acceptable to eat sushi with your fingers! That's what the warm towels are for. Sushi is the original finger food.

Not that I had to research this thanks to own lack of dexterity or anything. I also have a ramen fork/spoon I bring with me I bought at MOMA.

[BaliHai]

My response to any extreme emotion is to cry. It's annoying and embarrassing.

I am a worst-case scenarioist to the bones.

I sometimes eat ketchup sandwiches, and dry Ramen.

I have a whale phobia, mainly humpbacks.

And I've gotten a lot of weird looks and/or responses lately upon mentioning that I have an alarm set for every weekday morning at 715 asking if I've dropped DD off at daycare. Accidentally leaving her in the car is currently my biggest fear/source of anxiety.

[Deleted]

I'm very "sensitive"

I cry easily and I feeeeeeeeeeel feelings very strongly. My poor son, it seems he is the same way. SORRY KID!

[jreeds]

I'm so socially awkward it's embarassing. Either I'll sit there and not say a peep or if I do talk I say all the wrong things and I'm loud. There is no in between.

Similarly, I am a grown ass women who is apparently incapable of dressing herself appropriately or some nonsense. For example, I regularly end up wearing mismatched socks. I have several pairs of stud earrings that look the same but are different colors ( silver, black etc) at least once a week I get home and notice I have one silver one and one black one in and have been oblivious about it all day.
