Cuckoo Cuckoo

The world has an endless supply of doctors, counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, free mental health advice dispensers. 
A small number of these people dispense free advice as well as diagnosis whether solicited or most often, unsolicited.

In such case, it's free of charge, you're getting the quality commensurate with the amount $$$ you are paying.

Most of the "dispensers of free diagnosis" are untrained, unschooled, have no idea in Hades what they are talking about.
They're so crazy - I say this in mocking jest.
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

If you like to people watch, as I do, you will likely be a people listener. Some people talk more than others, some people talk less than others. In today's world, it's a stalkers paradise. People are constantly on their phones, speaking with others, spilling the intimate details of their lives.

If you listen, you will hear it:

Enough credit card information to take a nice shopping trip.
Juicy details of a sordid experience of 1 person, a few, many.
Mouth watering details about what's for dinner!
The dirty details of a domestic dispute.
Where the party is going to be as well as when!
When the baby was born as well as length, weight, sex, the name.

For a long time, I clung to my landline for just this very reason. I didn't want to join the mass abundance of unwitting perfect stalker victims!

The stalkers out there are crazy, lol, psychos! 😎

With this preface, here are 2 delightful references just for you.  💜

Cra-zy: adjective.
1. Mentally deranged. Esp as displayed in a wild or aggressive way.
2. Extremely enthusiastic.
3. Having an attitude of unhealthy exaggerated interest.

Psy-cho: slang. adjective
1. Mentally unstable.
2. Afflicted with a psychosis.
3. Slang term loosely used to deflect ones unkind actions toward others or just one person.

***************************************************************************

These 2 phrases are thrown around like confetti in a parade. 

In Germany, referring to another person or people as crazy, is grounds for the accuser to be arrested or fined or both. It's taken seriously!

When I hear someone referring to another person as "psycho" or "crazy", it lets me know that there are 2 sides to every armchair diagnosis. It reflects more on the character of the one pronouncing sentence than it ever reflects upon the one being loosely diagnosed.

The thought processes that go through my mind are:
"Hmm. This person who name calls another person, with the other person, who is unaware or unavailable to refute this, the name caller seems to be one who acts irresponsibly then, won't acknowledge their wrongful actions toward another person." 
(That was long! I'm a deep thinker, often analytical.)

What it distills down to is one who commits unkind acts on another person, then tries to deflect their own accountability by saying the other person is psycho or crazy.

Most often, with history to back it up, the ones who do this are males. 
Up until a bit more than a century ago, female people were property to be treated in any manner their male "owner" wished. This often included having them confined in a mental asylum or a convent for life. Easily disposed of when she became an encumbrance to him. 
Peeps!
I love men! I love everything about them, however, it's most often a guy who speaks of a "crazy ex" or "crazy girlfriend".
In place of seeking to understand, the guy who was acting mean, rude, stupid, deceptively, selfishly, he will blame the girl.

If he was cheating on her, lying to her, causing her emotional distress because she loves him so much that his actions are pushing her to the brink of emotional breakdown, oh, well, she was a psycho, she was crazy!

In a slight recovery attempt, sometimes the other person, having the meltdown (guy or girl) really is just a person who is healthy as well as rational until they are distressed by a loved ones actions.

tbh - We all go there from time to time, when something is just so overwhelming, when we have had more distress than we can take.

Is that psycho? 
Is that crazy? 
Momentarily, maybe. If the reaction to distress were repeated multiple times on a daily basis, this would be great cause for concern. For the most part, this is less common.

This is for your consideration. To be one who considers the effect of your actions upon another person who has shown their vulnerability to you in trust. 
The person who has opened their heart to you whether in the context of friendship, romantic love or situational moment in the belief that you would do the right thing as one human being to another.

Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug.

When people endeavor to be a softer variation of this, the world is a better place. As we all know, there are more than 50 shades of gray, there are most likely more than 500. 
Life is most often millions of shades of every color!

There is a guy who I had a tangential connection with a long time ago in a kingdom far far away. (🙂). One aspect of him that always stuck with me is his kindness, his compassion, his deep effort to understand others. Recently, he reached out to me in friendship.
Relax! 
It's a friendship, person to person. Platonic with great distance between us. No romance, simply good conversation.
We connect.

What strikes me is the way he is so very genuine. It's a rare quality in today's world. I gravitate toward people who are so very real.

If you can be anything at all in today's world?

Please
be
kind.
