Creativity and mental illness tend to go hand in hand. There's even a wiki article about it!

Not really a smart comment coming from someone in that group.

Really though, if a guy enjoys spending 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in his closet petting a sock... is he really wasting his time? I think the real character flaws are those that lead people to believe their own opinion is somehow valid for everyone else.

To be more precise, creativity and bipolar disorder.

Well that's the most common. Depression is too. As is the case with our friend Van Gogh. Or, more specifically, Major Depressive Disorder. I read that the main factor is latent inhibition. There's a wiki for that.

You should have read the second part of my post. It kind of makes the point that you're not wasting your time by being here if you enjoy being here.

Do you think you're wasting your time here?

It's an easier to just relax at, after a school day and day with my mom trying to be as they wish I was.
