Fine Line Revealed Between Creativity and Insanity

tis true, many schizoid people are Vary smart, take for instance my ex-wife, perhaps not always balanced but......

I have always thought that people that are creative may border on all most of being insane. When I am being creative it all most borders on insanity. For it seems to be to Me a insane ideal or ideals that I am thinking. Though I don't suffer from being a schizo-type of personality Myself.

Likewise as with Kevv.
I've always throught that I'm somewhat insane.

I always make odd associations, especially when it comes to bad jokes.
Wonder if I have this.

schizoids rule!




p.s. you're all plotting against me!

Actually, for clarity's sake, I think they're refering to Schizotypal Personality Disorder and not Schizoid Personality Disorder. Schizotypals are more the "fantasy" types while Schizoids are the "reclusives". Though that's a slight generalization.

To be honest, I've noticed a fair few Schizotypals on WP-- it seems kinda common amongst some breeds of Aspies.

People with mental illness enrich our lives: Abraham Lincoln, Emily Dickinson, Ludwig van Beethoven, Vincent Van Gogh, Sir Isaac Newton, Ernest Hemingway, Patty Duke, Charles Dickens, Benjamin Franklin, Virginia Woolf, Vivien Leigh, Leo Tolstoy, Mike Wallace, Sylvia Plath, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Winston CHurchill, John Forbes Nash Jr, Margot Kidder and many more.

There is little I can add here that isn't expressed in my username...
