    The best therapist I’ve known had a neat little cross-stitich on her lobby wall that said:

    “Normal is just a setting on your washing machine.”

    Every mode of human thought and behavior is represented by a spectrum. There is never a clear boundary between normality and mental illness.

      Awesome comment! Thanks for sharing.

      My washing machine only has „scolding hot“ and „heartless cold“. Does it need help? /jk

      Fun fact there was a guy who lied and said he was insane in court. He got stuck in the funny farm for long after his original sentence. He would do his best to act normal and he even dressed in a suite and tie. Everything he did was evidence he was deranged according to the state phycologists.
