Impossible or nearly impossible...aside from God, we are the only ones who really know what our minds are doing.

We all have a degree of insanity and the minority that stand out simply carry a form of insanity not present in the majority. What is insanity? I mean...come on...! Why do we argue and complain that we feel misunderstood yet agree and acknowledge we can not read minds? Why do we stereotype and make assumptions about things we do not fully understand? If sanity means rationale then we are altogether deluded coz our behaviour can be downright irrational sometimes.

Good question. It makes you think, but im leaning towards yes. If you were labeled insane, then how can you make judgements based on what your thoughts are if they are corrupted.
If the given person really considered themselves to be borderline insane, they I would suggest that they get a census from other people to determine if their' conclusion was similar to the people questioned.
This is just my opinion though. :P

it's possible to argue your point but if someone is already convinced you're crazy then there's no way to convince them otherwise cause when you say:
"I'm not crazy"
they're gonna say:
"Yeah, that's exactly what a crazy person would say"

Not impossible (it has been done), but convincing others may be a challenge.

Not impossible but very difficult to do it

Try reading "On being sane in insane places" (Rosenhan) for some insight.

with 90% of people, yes it is
don't bother
If you get labeled Bipolar or Schizo, just learn to live with it.
Get some money for it if you can.

yes!!..it's a catch-22 situation..if you can think logically and prove with evidence that you are insane then that means that you are actually sane and in possession of your mental faculties...

Listen to the voices and just do whatever they say, that's what I do
