Using the word crazy is literally “gaslighting”. I have anxiety and some can’t relate. They obviously use the word crazy because they don’t understand. Distance yourself from the negativity and judgment. No one deserves that level of disrespect. It is toxic, not healthy. I also don’t define myself by having an anxiety issue. It lowers your self-esteem. I also don’t have to justify myself to anyone either.

What hurts me is when people... mostly children & family say to me that THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU JUST STOP ACTING LIKE THAT. Thanks Zach I really love your videos❤️

Thank you. I’m not bipolar but I have PTSD and that in itself qualifies for being called crazy or I hear people say PTSD isn’t real or everyone has PTSD and just write me off as self diagnosed

I have bipolar and I'm called crazy all the time. It stinks.

I’m currently experiencing this situation as I write this, my boyfriend calls me crazy in the deliberate way. The worst time was when he said it at a get together with some close friends (twice) and they all laughed. I know I have put him through hell at times but it did hurt hearing him say that. I did explain how it made me feel especially when I know I’ve been working really hard to be the person I want to be. I said this after everyone left. He said that he wouldn’t do it again. We’ll see what happens 🤷🏾‍♀️

I call them psycho right back. It’s not even nice to call someone names. I have autism and people call me psycho or insane. Just leave me alone.

Questioning your own judgment is an unfortunate side effect of any mental illness. It adds lots of stress to an already stressful situation. My way of dealing with this is twofold: First, I examine my thoughts from a third party perspective. I think 'If Andy (a friend of mine) had this thought, what would I think about it?' Examining things from a distance is helpful because it's easy for anyone to lose perspective when something is personal. Secondly, I accept that all humans make mistakes, and that I'll definitely make mistakes. It takes the pressure off the belief that I need to be perfect.

It triggers me. It makes me want to drink and isolate from the world. I get upset, offended, and just angry. That's ok.At work, people call me crazy lady. It's been passed around way too much. I have said it over and over I do not like it. They do it because they know it upsets me. I was out of work for 3 years because of mental illness, BPD,alcoholism and just pure self destruction. I am going to create distance. I am going to create distance from alot of people. It's the world. It's life. It's unacceptable but it happens. To me, it is judgement. People are joking alot but it goes both ways. I get hyper and "joke around" and I need to do my part. I not only need to seek to be understood but also to understand. Wow. In the beginning of my thought, it was all about me but I need to think of others.Thank you for your video.

People call me insane or psycho or different. I’m tired of it.

Yeah, it's really lame and demoralizing. That said, all they're really doing is announcing to the world that they're rude. One thing I sometimes struggle with isn't so much what people say to me, it's what I _think_ that they're thinking about me. For example, if I do something unusual or different, I sometimes wonder if people think I'm out of my mind - and then I sometimes wonder if I am indeed out of my mind. But then I step back and try to think rationally, and I come to the conclusion that it ultimately doesn't matter what other people think of me, and that if I'm doing something that is mentally unsound, I'll eventually recognize it and take self-protective action (such as talk to my psychiatrist, see a counselor, talk to a friend I trust, etc.).

@@ZachGood sir i relate to this so much sir. I've been experiencing this recently. What you just said is what exactly is happening to me now. I'm afraid that if people see me do something that i think is unusual to them ,they might start thinking that I'm sort of some crazy or different. I get so offended and hurt when i hear people call me crazy or not normal. I'm even starting to think that what if I'm really crazy? That i keep doing things that normal people don't usually do. Ugh so tiring.

Yes they are ignorant but a family member calls me crazy any time we argue, and does it on purpose to win the argument. She does it on purpose and like you say, she wants to put herself above me.

@Dman9fp

Nobody really wins an argument-- if nobody backs down. Have learned all too well--- the destructive nature of misunderstandings and complete b.s. unnecessary drama (should let it die on its own by not feeding it, instead of trying to squash it (no matter how much people push our buttons, just avoid them more, they most likely Will feel personally attacked and it all goes to s**t if we tell them how they "should have acted", even if highly warranted)-- happened majorly twice, that is seriously something I very much hate, but cannot if/when it arises again). Letting go is the key, it really seems. We cannot change others' minds, actions speak louder than words. Much as it sucks-- if others have become toxic/ manipulative/ self centered, we don't need them. And at a certain point should avoid them. Just speaking in broad strokes, but it's true we are way incredibly more resilient than we think, and we ought not to apologize for being the person we naturally are... Easy to forget how irrational society/ many many people out there are (especially being isolated so much of the time) and idk all the answers, but fighting someone emotionally until someone gives/ quits/ despises you or what not definitely isn't the key

People call me crazy a lot. I hate that.

I said to my ex boyfriend, currently friend, when we were dating , that I have borderline. When we had fight, he told it to his mom and she contacted me and told me that I need professional help and that im really mentally ill. My ex has autism. His mom is saying he's cured from it. He says that too. I know that's not possible. I just don't understand why is he saying that he forgives me for insulting me, but never apologised for what he has done? I feel so sad and angry because he hasn't apologised. I feel like he's degrading me.. it hurts..

I'm currently experiencing this and I'm still a minor. People around me like my family, friends and classmates keeps calling me crazy. And when they do , i'll keep thinking that...maybe I'm really crazy. Actually back 2019 i already experienced this but then it stopped. Then came back now. I'm so down nowadays i don't know what to do about it. I keep thinking. What is it that makes me look crazy? Did i do something that people don't usually do? Should i change the way how i usually do? What should i do?!? This keeps hurting!!...help me. Even now..I'm really so hurt. I feel like i got no one to vent on. Not even myself. But still thank you sir. I'll keep everything you thought me in my mind.

I think the question you should be asking yourself is 'Am I doing anything that is tangibly harming other people?' When it comes down to it, that's really all that matters in life. If the way you look or act isn't harming anyone, then everyone else's opinions don't matter. At the same time, however, *you* are part of the world, so if your actions are harming yourself, then that matters and you should learn to be more compassionate toward yourself. Otherwise, be you and enjoy your life. After all, this world is filled with too many copies and too few originals.

I'm sick and tired of hearing it. I'm getting revenge on everyone who called me that. And they are out of my life, forever. I'm upset all the time... And I'm never having a relationship... When will someone be on my side? And I don't call others like that, because I try to treat them good...

An idea, if people said "you're wild" instead of you're crazy. It would make the phrase you're crazy much more stigmatized

You gave very good advices in this video. I had a conversation with my friend to let him know, that I don't handle the word ,, crazy" in reference to my bipolar (I have type 1) well now, and he was and still is very respectful about it. But also recently I also had to deal with someone calling me ,,crazy" maliciously in regards to my BP. They are still doing it + they pill - shame me.

Thank you very useful video! Society is sometimes very stupid!

It sounds like you are in an awful situation surrounded by people who don't care about you. I hope you find people who care about you and love your crazy side. ;)

Nothing better than wearing the same clothes everyday and being rusted and called crazy lol

Hi Zach, I love to say: I know you are, you don't have to be soo hard on yourself. Then I walk away and ignore it.Take care and thanks.

Stop being crazy over being called crazy if it hurts you that much you must be crazy

I have personality disorder but bible belt is not kind. Jobs to other such is affected if open. So many ignorantly behave in the US.

Hi. one of my high school students had kind of paralsis and it effected her eye and hand she also had some mental illness but cured and some classmate knew about it and started calling her crazy. psycho etc. so i just tried to support her i wrote to her some questions to ask them when they start harming her like: are u talking to me? crazy? do u think u r safe of getting crazy? do u know other things in my personality more than crazy? do u think i l be in class with u if im crazy? etc. these questions let them pause for moments. some appologize others quit but what helped more that she was an artist participated in art shool show by the end of the term she became confident and it was fine. But in her case maybe different because she already cured and that helped.
