Idk why exactly... I'm not a 100% certain, but I know that being insane has been perceived as cool for a very long time.
When I was a kid, the weirder your mental illness symptoms the cooler you were.
Most of it was fake... but... I think people just grew into it.
Be careful who you pretend to be.
extrapolating from what you thought as a kid to your existence now works for you
but you can't apply it to adults now. your perspective then was quite limited
Well I can. Because people are still doing it.
And my perspective wasn't that limited.
Sometimes I think I was infinitely intelligent at 13/14 in comparison to now.
