Like, if they're on the bus and sitting near you jabbering away or if they're standing in the alley lecturing to a wall, holding a glass bottle as you walk by. Are you easily eeked out by them or not? And is that a failure of some sort?
I don't think I can work with actually crazy people if I become a counselor or something. I get too scared or worried of what they might do.

Yes, although it embarrasses me to admit it. I used to not be particularly afraid of them, until I got attacked by one (a total stranger, too). I realize that one person within a certain group attacking me doesn't mean that they all will, but now I feel somewhat nervous, or at least cautious, around them.

Unfortunately, no, I do not get so uncomfortable around insane people. Sure, you have to watch out if they have a psychotic fit or something, but usually they "build up" to it. Yes, that's a failure of some sort. Really, I should have more sense than that. I talk to people that could easily blow up and go batty on me, but it's also the sort of person that I've grown up with from when my parents were foster parents for crazy kids. I guess I got used to it so I don't have the same defense mechanisms as most humans.
Funny that you don't ask about the sane people. Did you know that the "most sane" people are psychopaths? Really, it's the sane people you should be looking out for... On the other hand, you should be more careful about mixing up legal terminology (sanity) for a psychological analysis (mental disorders). I *do* get... err... irritable around psychopaths and generally hate them with an intensity that they seem to sense instinctually. Maybe it's a predatory nimwit thing that they get eeked out by me...

The Mentally ill are not being institutionalized , like they used to be , so many years ago. Now our state programs, allow them to be free and roam about at their own liking. Seems like there are more and more of them. Many of the Mentally ill are harmless and are on some type of medications. Then there are some who are out free on the streets and in society who are killing and doing really bad things. Like drugs, liquir, stealing, harassing. Like the woman who killed a mother and her three small children. Our States, need to start committing these mentally insane. Many of the old state run Mental Institutions are almost empty. Very few patients in them. The Psychiatrists now depend on Medications to control many. Years ago, the Mental ill could not be out wandering aimlessly around. They were sent to Mental Institutions, until they were well. It is a sad life , for these who suffer from Mental problems. They can tell who makes fun of them or who shuns them. They lack in many social acceptance with the public, but way down deep they also have many good senses. The Doctors can help to heal broken bones , but it is almost impossible to heal a broken brain. When you see someone who has a broken brain, be Kind.

yeah i do
i have an aunt who sometimes goes crazy for no reason. Like when she is REALLY hyper. I would avoid people like that! But if your the kind of person who wants to help people in your job, then think again and go for it.

Yes, the religious make me very uncomfortable, since society seems to respect their insanity.

yes, i do get uncomfortable, but it's not fair to them , since they don't see anything wrong with themselves.
