10 Signs She's Crazy

No.10 She Controls The Narrative

As a result of their strange and destructive behaviors, troubled people often find themselves the objects of scorn and derision. While you might not be privy to all of the specifics, it’s revealing when someone is always sort of trying to set the record straight. Everyone, from time to time, is the victim of gossip or inaccurate rumors -- but not everyone feels the need to set themselves up as a solitary PR machine for one's own life.

No.9 She's Self-Aggrandizing

People who behave in a way that is almost certain to draw negative reactions tend to construct fantasy worlds in which this is not the case. These fantasies usually form a mirror image of the unpleasant truths that they cannot yet deal with. When someone goes out of their way, for example, to tell you what an otherworldly object of desire he or she is, it will often be because they are isolated, frustrated and lonely. There may be reasons for this.

No.8 She Hates Other Women

In the same way that guys don’t let each other get away with things that girls may be fooled into admiring, girls don’t buy each other's bullsh*t. Across the sex boundary, the haze of attraction can form a cloud around certain unpleasant qualities. This is not so (for heterosexual people, anyway) when we are among our kind. It’s for this reason that vocal, intense, often-beauty/attractiveness-centric statements made by women against other women are a warning sign. The same is true for us guys, too. These sorts of things show that the normal back-and-forths of social competition have become warped and distorted.

No.7 She Has Isolated Herself

Sometimes, there are people we just don’t want in our lives, and very often, it’s their (damn) fault. When you are around people who have come a bit unglued, though, you will find that a degree of discontinuity is pretty common. From family to old friends, the people who have known us the longest are usually the most able to tell when things are going wrong, when we’re not the person they are familiar with anymore. When people aren’t willing to face up to this, they break contact – all contact.

No.6 She's Weird About Her Exes

Ordinarily, the former part of “ex-boyfriend/girlfriend” takes precedence over the latter. They’re done. It ended. It’s all in the past. If she is still experiencing intense, contradictory feelings about these guys, then it's probably best to refrain from (inevitably) adding yourself to their ranks.

No.5 She Makes False Accusations

When you come undone, the world seems to align against you. When you realize what has happened, you change your behavior -- but when you don’t, you lash out. In a world of infinite, internet-aided memory, and Google-proficient employers, one simply cannot get close to the sort of people who will accuse you of wild and unsavory things that never actually happened.

No.4 She Shaves Her Head

In ordinary cases, this is a mere aesthetic choice: totally subjective, and a matter of casual fashion. In cases in which the person is showing significant signs of trouble or trauma, this is often a cry for help. From medieval monks to Britney Spears, shaving one’s head can take on the significance of departing into another world, of signaling detachment and self-abasement.

   

No.3 She Hits Below The Belt

It’s difficult out there, and not everybody gets along. To a degree, we have to allow people their enemies. That said, there are boundaries. If people are slighted, insulted or swindled by a third party, it’s not unreasonable for them to feel and act a little upset when their name comes up. But shamelessly and nonsensically airing the most unpleasant aspects of their lives in an effort to demean the person says about a million times more about the speaker than the subject. Bynes has since deleted the tweets.

 

No.2 She Contradicts Herself

She posted the above tweet only to post this one shortly after. When your mind isn’t right -- and we’ve all been there, to whatever degree -- it can feel like you’re fighting for control of an errant vessel. Sawing at the wheel. Making one wild over-correction after another. Making intense, contradictory-seeming statements in rapid succession is a sign of this internal process.

No.1 Crazy People Think She's Crazy

When Courtney Love tells you to “pull it together,” it might be time for a little self-evaluation.
