are you insane???

[dolf]

lots of people assume that BDSMers must be crazy...not saying there's a connection, just curious to know how many here aren't all that sane.

 

[graceanne]

So, do we have to admit to what our answer is?

I'm interested to see how this turns out as well. I've given a lot of thought to this in the past and I wish there was a way to get more accurate info on this matter.

The biggest obstacle I faced when I've tried to do my own research on this is people's inability to distinguish the difference between being someone with issues, who could benefit from psychotherapy and having a clinical disorder that really needs the care of a psychiatrist. Of course, neither of those groups are mutually exclusive or collectively exhaustive.

 

[Daddyslilpet]

I wouldn't lable myself totally sane for anyone.... too much pressure.

I'm sane-ish. Hell ANY Mom is not totally sane, her kids drive her crazy... and I have 3!!!

Actually, yes.

Dolf - good question..

I sometimes worry about my sanity. I constantly see myself dying or being injured.
For example, when at the top of a flight of stairs - I get a weird sensation of having someone finding my crumpled body at the bottom.

Sometimes I worry, as I have these flashes when crossing the road as I do pause or start to walk slower. Not a good idea within busy traffic.

Oh well.

 

[FungiUg]

Well, I clicked on the one that says my nuts are fully functioning.

*snorts tea out of nose* lmao

[navarre]

I clicked on totally normal. To me, I am. To someone else, I might not be normal, however it's what I think of me that counts.

One down and 2 to go.

Perhaps some day you'll reach a level of sanity.

 

[~mystify~]

I'm sane-ish...off and on....

And it looks like I'm in the majority!

Lovies,

Oh well.

Sounds like repressed fears breaking out of your subconscious. Extremely common, but worth getting checked out if it gets out of control.

One can never tell...

 

[shy slave]

Well I would say i am sanish....

But Master may not agree, perhaps we should vote on what we think others are!??

As for Dolf is she sane or not...Well what do you think?? lol

 

[graceanne]

Oh, come on, bytor! I was really looking forward to what you were gonna say on this thread. Can't you do better than that?

 

[AnelizeDarkEyes]

I loved this answer, and totally agree.

In my world, I am normal.

I don't really give a fuck about anybody else's world. LOL.

[Sir_Winston54]

I chose "Sane but quirky," because - at least in my world - I am sane... but I do have a few little quirks here and there... not to mention crops and canes and floggers and paddles and... oh... started to get quirked away a little there....

 

[graceanne]

Ya know, I think that I should get to change my mind on this poll daily. I might not be sane tomorrow. After all I'm on a lot of steroids. . . . lol
