Why sometimes
some people call you “Crazy”? It’s All about Putting You Down mentally.
Start
with My story -
I have marked this, sometimes some people call you
in fun, I gonna start this issue wth my own life story - I still remember when I was in school, One teacher (Pattack sir –
Geography sir) call me “Pageli Panda as in love” as I can’t understand anything
even a simple jock also , I ask every answer what the meaning as I always search for some
meaning behind everything, I take everything very serious, I make my life in
a serious mode always. I was funny but in my way , I love to laugh and I felt I
was very simple in my real life "I was never ever complicated that's why it took long time to understand this world" , I was very curious kind of person and I laugh
face problem due to my stupidity , same story happened in my 11th
and 12th also – one sir (Physics sir) he also gave me name as Pageli
panda as my behaviour was a kind of childish type but that was for fun , she
call my name with smile and just to irritate me but I didn’t know one day that
become a part of my life in different way . But time makes you wise, sometimes
people take advantage of it. I am talking about me, lonely ness and haleness
sucks my life literality (Sorry for using bad words) but this is true. In
engineering at first my life was good but slowly slowly that was quit bad but
that was due to some misunderstanding , now I forget all as time heals
everything and I believe in forgiving and stay attach with old friends but one
year I choose to stay alone that is 4th year for my GATE preparation
and my major project and I have to perform well in my exam that’s why I invite
loneliness in my life but I didn’t knew that will damage me and hurt me so
deeply as I always busy in my work slowly slowly it affect me which I can’t
understand , you can’t understand the slowly change in your behaviour but your
loved one like your parents can easily visualize it well , what affected me
they can understand well as I knew – what I was facing nobody can understand as
many people suffer like this in hostel but I was very sensitive and emotionally
attached person by heart , that’s why I was affected much , onside my failure
life another side no much friend and no one was there to listen my voice that’s
why I was quit silent person but when I return back to my home for GATE preparation
at that time my parents can easily visualize my personality well as they know me
and my behaviour so they decided to show me a psychiatrist , but latter on they all get to know it is
due to my depression as I was depressed inside but now I all most recover from
that as I chose to be not to be depressed as ONCE I READ A QUOTE IN FACEBOOK “NOT HAVING FRIENDS IS EQUAL TO A
CHAIN SMOKER , HOW YOUR BODY AFFECT YOU” that’s why I analyse my whole life
and all incidence and I choose to change myself , not having friends still not
dying inside , so how can it possible – Of course it’s quite difficult as many people
in this world I found out who try to down you so whom you believe better do
meditate and try to connect as less people as you can and choose your friend circle
and one day you become habituated , and I am wise than before and I am careless
than before .
So this is all about my story, this also happens
with many but some defeat in life journey and some win, and those who win they
actually make history.
I love to listen many inspirational speeches – like
J.K Rowling, WALT DISNEY etc., many more were there who were alone in their
journey but were not become mad or failure, they become success in life race as
they choose to become like this. So some people born with some bad luck but
they make themselves to success, as they make their mind set up like that. So what
I learnt that from my life.
So
this article is all about those who try to down you emotionally -
In
case you haven't gotten the memo, emotional
intelligence is cool now. And being kind to people, especially when you don't
understand their experience... that's even cooler. Among the endless decidedly
uncool insults it was once totally permissible to sling at people, perhaps
"crazy" is the one we haven't fully addressed as a collective,
awakened humanity. I think this is because that word very gently toes the line
between just an adjective or adverb for something "out of the norm"
and a really offensive undertone, and because we aren't well acquainted with why it would be offensive,
we let it slide.
Let's
first talk about who usually gets called
crazy. It’s used when someone who is going through an intense emotional
experience, or actual mental illness, is behaving in a way that's not
"normal." It's dismissive, short sighted, ignorant and stigmatizing,
but while the freedom of speech (thankfully) prevails, I cannot actually argue that we should never use
this word ever, ever again, but here's a pretty solid case for maybe
reconsidering the next time you want to insult someone with it anyway:
1.
IT’S THEIR WAY OF TAKING POWER AWAY FROM
YOU.
Calling
a person crazy is a good way for other people to try and discredit you. If
they’re running around telling people that you’re nuts, anything that you
say, even if it’s legitimate, will be taken with a grain of salt. Sometimes you
should rise voice and say! Enough is enough, even I am saying even I say
something good people don’t like as they set up their mind not to listen, it’s
not your mistake it’s mistake as they choose. So don’t be offended, but give
them best answer when perfect time comes.
2.
THEY KNOW THAT IT WILL PISS YOU OFF.
People
who are low enough to use this insult often do so knowing that it upsets you.
They’re real-life trolls.
3.
IT’S A FORM OF BLAME SHIFTING.
Many
people just don’t want to admit wrong doing, and can’t stand the fact that they
aren’t enough to be good to you. By saying that you’re crazy, they feels like
they can shrug it off and claim that they did nothing wrong.
4.
SOME PEOPLE CALL YOU CRAZY SO THAT YOU DOUBT
YOURSELF.
This
behaviour is called “gas lighting,” and it’s often one of the first indicators
of a person who’ll become abusive in later years. If you’re dealing with such
people who makes you feel like you’re going crazy, run. They are trying to
control you.
5.
SOME PEOPLE DON’T UNDERSTAND
YOU.
If
some people don’t understand how your mind thinks, he won’t be able to
comprehend the reasons as to why we do certain things. As a result, we might
end up getting called crazy.
I take them crazy who tease others
and above rudely and angry easily and scold others and interfere others life unnecessarily,
what I found most of the youth now are following this principle but why?
Is competitive world or jealously is
the main reason, whatever but they should check their mental status as for them
many people who don’t behave like them their number become few and they are
called as crazy as they become like a single piece in this world. What I found out,
as I take myself as a single piece.
NOW A DAYS
PEOPLE HAVE GREAT INTREST IN YOUR LIFE THAN THEIR OWN LIFE –
“Mariano
Sigman – Your words may predict your future mental health”
Psychological analysis of some of the most
ancient books of human culture, Julian Jayne’s came up in the '70s with a very wild and radical
hypothesis: that only 3,000 years ago, humans were what today
we would call schizophrenics. And he made this claim based on the fact that
the first humans described in these books behaved consistently, in different traditions
and in different places of the world, as if they were hearing
and obeying voices that they perceived as coming from the Gods, or from the muses. What
today we would call hallucinations. And only then, as time
went on, they began to recognize that they were the creators, the owners of these
inner voices. And with this, they gained introspection: the ability to think
about their own thoughts. So Jayne’s theory is that consciousness, at least in the way we
perceive it today, where we feel that we are the pilots of our own existence -- is a quite recent
cultural development. And this theory is quite spectacular, but it has an obvious
problem which is that it's built on just a few and very specific examples. So the question is
whether the theory that introspection built up in human history only about 3,000 years
ago can be examined in a quantitative and objective manner.
And the problem of how to go about this is quite obvious. It's not like Plato
woke up one day and then he wrote, "Hello, I'm Plato, and as of today, I have
a fully introspective consciousness."
And this tells us actually what the essence of the problem is. We need to find the
emergence of a concept that's never said. The word introspection
does not appear a single time in the books we want to analyse.
So our way to solve this is to build the space of words. This is a huge space
that contains all words in such a way that the distance between any two of them is indicative of how
closely related they are. So for instance, you want the words "dog" and "cat" to be very
close together, but the words "grapefruit" and "logarithm" to be
very far away. And this has to be true for any two words within the space and there
are different ways that we can construct the space of words. One is just asking the
experts, a bit like we do with dictionaries. Another possibility is following the simple
assumption that when two words are related, they tend to appear in
the same sentences, in the same paragraphs, in the same documents, more often than would
be expected just by pure chance. And this simple
hypothesis, this simple method, with some computational tricks that have to do with
the fact that this is a very complex and high-dimensional space, turns out to be quite effective.
And just to give you a flavour of how well this works, this is the result we
get when we analyse this for some familiar words. And you can see first that words
automatically organize into semantic neighbourhoods. So you get the fruits,
the body parts, the computer parts, the scientific terms and so on.
The algorithm also identifies that we organize concepts in a
hierarchy. So for instance, you can see that the scientific terms break down into two
subcategories of the astronomic and the physics terms. And then there are very
fine things. For instance, the word astronomy, which seems a bit
bizarre where it is, is actually exactly where it should be, between what it is, an actual science, and between what it
describes, the astronomical terms.
And we could go on and on with this. Actually, if you stare
at this for a while, and you just build random trajectories, you will see that it
actually feels a bit like doing poetry. And this is because, in
a way, walking in this space is like walking in the mind.
And the last thing is that this algorithm also identifies what are our intuitions, of which words should
lead in the neighbourhood of introspection. So for instance, words such as
"self," "guilt," "reason," "emotion, “are
very close to "introspection," but other words, such as
"red," "football," "candle," "banana," are just very far away And
so once we've built the space, the question of the history of introspection, or of the history of
any concept which before could seem abstract and somehow vague, becomes concrete -- becomes amenable to
quantitative science.
All that we have to do is take the books, we digitize them, and we take this stream
of words as a trajectory and project them into the space, and then we ask whether
this trajectory spends significant time circling closely to the
concept of introspection. And with this, we could analyse the
history of introspection in the ancient Greek tradition, for which we have the
best available written record. So what we did is we took all the books -- we just ordered them by
time -- for each book we take the words and we project them to
the space, and then we ask for each word how close it is to introspection, and we just average
that. And then we ask whether, as time goes on and on, these books get closer,
and closer and closer to the concept of introspection. And this is exactly
what happens in the ancient Greek tradition. So you can see that for
the oldest books in the Homeric tradition, there is a small
increase with books getting closer to introspection. But about four
centuries before Christ, this starts ramping up very rapidly to an almost five-fold increase of books getting
closer, and closer and closer to the concept of introspection. And one of the nice
things about this is that now we can ask whether this is also
true in a different, independent tradition. So we just ran this
same analysis on the Judeo-Christian tradition, and we got virtually
the same pattern. Again, you see a small increase for the oldest books in the
Old Testament, and then it increases much more rapidly in the new books of the
New Testament. And then we get the peak of introspection in "The
Confessions of Saint Augustine," about four centuries
after Christ. And this was very important, because Saint Augustine
had been recognized by scholars, philologists,
historians, as one of the founders of introspection. Actually, some believe
him to be the father of modern psychology.so our algorithm, which has the virtue of
being quantitative, of being objective, and of course of being extremely fast -- it just runs in a
fraction of a second -- can capture some of the most important conclusions of this long tradition
of investigation. And this is in a way one of the beauties of science, which is that
now this idea can be translated and generalized to a whole lot of different domains. So in the same
way that we asked about the past of human consciousness, maybe the most
challenging question we can pose to ourselves is whether this can
tell us something about the future of our own consciousness. To put it more
precisely, whether the words we say today can tell us something
of where our minds will be in a few days, in a few months or a few years from
now.
And in the same way many of us are now wearing sensors that detect our heart
rate, our respiration, our genes, on the hopes that this may help us prevent diseases, we can ask whether
monitoring and analysing the words we speak, we tweet, we email, we
write, can tell us ahead of time whether something may go wrong with our
minds. And with Guillermo Cache, who has been my brother
in this adventure, we took on this task. And we did so by analysing
the recorded speech of 34 young people who were at a high risk of developing
schizophrenia.
And so what we did is, we measured speech at day one, and then we asked
whether the properties of the speech could predict, within a window of
almost three years, the future development of psychosis. But despite our hopes, we got failure after
failure. There was just not enough information in semantics to predict the future
organization of the mind. It was good enough to distinguish between a group of schizophrenics and a control
group, a bit like we had done for the ancient texts, but not to predict the
future onset of psychosis. But then we realized that maybe the most
important thing was not so much what they were saying, but how they were
saying it. More specifically, it was not in which semantic neighbourhoods the words were, but how
far and fast they jumped from one semantic neighbourhood to the other one. And so we came up with
this measure, which we termed semantic coherence, which essentially
measures the persistence of speech within one semantic topic, within one semantic category.
And it turned out to be that for this group of 34 people, the algorithm based on
semantic coherence could predict, with 100 percent
accuracy, who developed psychosis and who will not. And this was something
that could not be achieved -- not even close -- with all the other existing clinical measures. And I remember
vividly, while I was working on this, I was sitting at my
computer and I saw a bunch of tweets by Polo -- Polo had been my first
student back in Buenos Aires, and at the time he was living in New York. And there was something
in this tweets -- I could not tell exactly what because nothing was said explicitly -- but I got this strong
hunch, this strong intuition, that something was going wrong. So I picked up the
phone, and I called Polo, and in fact he was not feeling well. And this simple fact, that reading in between
the lines, I could sense, through words, his feelings, was a simple, but very
effective way to help. That we're getting close to understanding how we can convert this
intuition that we all have, that we all share, into an algorithm. And in doing so, we may be seeing in the future a very different form of mental
health, based on objective, quantitative and automated analysis of the words we write, of the words we say.
