So do you think mentally ill people are more likely to be attracted to MBTI[c]? If so why?

I think it can, because their is a stigma for mental health issues. So often times people realize that they are not quite like others, and part of them knows they should probably talk to someone. But the other part doesn't know what they'd do if someone found out, so they explore different avenues such as religion and personality type. So as I was saying their searching for any sort of confirmation that they're normal and as soon as they get it they latch on. I could of course be totally wrong. So opinions, and be honest.

I think you're on to something, in fact I was thinking about creating a thread like this.

It seems to me that many mentally unbalanced people are attracted to this forum and others like it. I guess psychology forums may have some type of inherent draw maybe, perhaps, possibly, conceivably.

Now, is this place attracting crazy people, or does this place make people go crazy?

I'm almost inclined to argue the latter...

Yep, there are some certifiable personas around these parts. You have to wonder if they are only feigning an antic disposition or truly whacked. I can see why true nuts are attracted in particular to the religion and psychology forums. These topics tend to attract their fair share of mumbo jumbo from even the sane. The insane shouldn't be as conspicuously nutty there. From the looks of the thread, the strategy's not working out too well.

Awww, heck, admit it - we crazy people make life interesting for the rest of you...

...as long as we don't come busting in like Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator, I think it's okay.

I'm crazy, sure, but in a lovable way that somehow makes you want to smack me, hug me, laugh at me, and shout at me all at the same time. :devil:

I don't know, who did you have in mine? rep or pm me unless you think the person in question won't be offended. and if it's me no I won't be offended.

I have no one person in mind and it's not Victor.

Really it's not.

Well, Haphazard said I was the only sane one here, and she knows frickin everything, so there.

Now, excuse me while I go see if that tricycle I lit on fire is finished burning yet.
