Um, evidence? Man, those folks working on the psych wards would love if people knew their own insanity.

Denial is the hardest step to overcome. I know you can do it.

Van Gogh thought he was insane. He was.

There is a fine line between genius and insanity. Gogh was a genius.

No, it is often quite easy to stop denying things. Whereas running 2ks without stopping is quite difficult.

Van Gogh was a genius and insane. He was also Dutch and insane.

Wow, one person. Thanks for the peer review studies, statistical evidence, and/or psychology/psychiatry references

Some people know there is something wrong with them. Some people are not everyone.

Humans are the only animal that can run long distances without stopping. Having run cross country in high school and college, I have run ten miles a day without stopping.

Mad, perhaps, but aren't we all? He was not insane like you.

THe claim 'all swans are white' is falsified by one black swan. Presumably you think otherwise. That makes you spectacularly stupid.

I never said ALL people who are insane don't know it, dipshit. I was looking for evidence for your claim that insane people "often" know they are insane. I never doubted that some do have at least an idea.
