It's not my place to invalidate the way you feel about yourself. Plus, my grasp on sanity is tenuous enough as it is, I'm in no place to judge another lol.

I like crazy. How can you not be crazy in a world like this? That's a pretty sane reaction to me.
Is this meme an autism test? I can legit not tell if this is good or bad, or what emotion the pic is showing.
People tend to experience and therefore express multiple emotions simultaneously.
Im pretty sure this is Love Quinn from the tv show "You." She is like murder people to get what she wants crazy. I guess the expression is more of an "are you sure about that" or maybe something related to whatever scene this came out of idk, we in the same boat here
Or maybe it was meant to be said with the expectation of a "no youre not" and shes upset because she takes it as him calling her crazy
It's bad. The original question is being used as a... standard conversation piece, here (though I've never heard that one IRL, I'm not surprised). Like "How are you", "good, how about you", "good" (which is in reality pretty much just a greeting), the person in the meme is saying "i'm sorry, I don't have an excuse for my behavior" ("sorry I'm crazy").
The expected response is reassurance on the second part ("no you're not" to "I'm crazy"), but the received response is reassurance on the first ("it's okay" to "sorry"). This implies that the other person does believe the first person is crazy, but the first person didn't actually 100% mean the "I'm crazy" bit, so it's an accidental insult that the first person can't actually contest in any way and it hurts more because the other person must believe that for real. Therefore, unpleasant, but keeping it in. Hence the face.
Hope that made some sense!
But also if someone is fishing for reassurance and keep getting it, they'll keep doing it.
If someone really is being unreasonable and is fishing for reassurance, the responsible thing is to tell them nicely what you really think.
If you know you are not crazy, saying "sorry, I'm crazy" is an outright lie.
So, people will assert a false statement and get upset at an honest response? TF is wrong with normies?
Even if I am completely aware that they are lying, I generally don't get a positive response when I call them out on it.
I'll just smile and nod and dismiss whatever they said.
You're right, let me prefix with that.
It's not unusual for normies to casually throw out a self deprecating statement when fishing for a complement; eg., "Ugh, I'm such an ugly cow today" - to which the expected response is something like "no babe, you look SOOO good!"
Personally, I've tended to ignore such statements entirely, which has shrunk the number of people who speak to me significantly...and I am just fine with that.
Do with that information what you will, but I'm also neuro-spicy - so don't use my behavior as a measuring stick.
I’m also autistic and I discovered (accidentally, when I reacted earnestly once) that if you say “I’m sorry you think that, do you want to talk about your self image?,” it ends the conversation without ending the relationship (useful for colleagues or similar).
Oh, I like that a lot.
I can’t tell if it’s anti passive-aggression or ultra passive-aggressive, but it works, lol.
Haha that explains it so well!
There have been times my wife would say stuff like that. When I give the wrong response, she'd say "I was fishing for a compliment."
At this stage in the conversation, any compliment is received as "forced". Apparently after directly requesting compliment, it's impossible to receive a genuine response.
Well I am definitely autistic and I have absolutely no idea. Best to just smile and move on with your life.
I’m one of the most empathetic mfers to ever grace this earth (and humble too) and it’s ambiguous for sure.
Both the dialogue AND the woman’s expression in the photo. (Though, in my experience, someone who’s being self-deprecating like this isn’t looking for comfort, but a compliment.)
Expressions of crazy people rarely match their emotions. Or so I've been told(?)
I'm certain this wouldn't be posted if the emotion was just neutral.
I question whether anyone can remain entirely sane. We all have idiosyncrasies and delusions, and anyone denying they have them would be either a liar or terrifyingly inhuman.
Nearly everyone seems at least slightly crazy to me, definitely including me, but especially neurotypicals.
(chuckles) I'm in danger.
its not ok
