Much eye-rolling

Well, then. That was the second time someone contacted me and said, "I read your blog and I'm worried because you sound so crazy. It's no big deal if some stranger died. It doesn't affect you. Why are you so sad?"
And I truly don't think that my answer of "It's my blog; I'm venting my thoughts. It's nothing you haven't seen before." was placating.
Like... um. Hi. Have you met me? I'm verbose. I'm also mentally ill. Between verbosity and illness, I love to ramble on about life, mind, the universe. To read something I write and automatically conclude that I am "high levels of crazy" is insulting. Thanks, readers. I love you too.
It's basically the same attitude as "Well, maybe Autism Speaks wants to eradicate autistic brains and never bothers to actually help with services for autistic people, but have they hurt you, personally? Why do you fight against them? They're probably doing good things."
It makes my brain hurt. So much. Mainly because ignorance up the ass.

No, I'm not making my journal friends-only. I'm happy to show, publicly, that I know what people think. And that I know how irritating they can be. And how very little they know about who I am. Sucks to be them.
But yeah, I talk about mental illness and how deeply that sort of thing affects me. I use words that might not appear "rational" or "worldly" or "down to earth."
I'm skeptical to a degree, but I'm about thisclose to moving away from the skeptic movement entirely. It's full of assholes.

Wait they actually said you seem crazy? Do they watch CNN? Is everyone crazy by their definition? I...do not understand.

O_o Wow! Talk about harsh not to mention being completely misunderstanding and missing the point entirely! :/ You are certainly *not* crazy and just from what I have gathered reading you journal, I think you have a very beautiful and unique way of perceiving the world. :)

Wtf is wrong with people? What impact does your 'crazy' have on them? (As if being upset about a much-loved celebrity dying by suicide didn't upset the hell out of a lot of people and automatically = 'crazy' anyway. Not to mention us autistic folk often feel things very deeply. That doesn't make us crazy either. And none of their business if you do happen to be crazy.) Bloody concern trolls; i guess you were making them uncomfortable by sharing your experience? They don't effing have to read it.
