The key to being a great artist, is being miserable.. that's what I've heard anyway.

You have explained my personality very well to some extent. I often isolate myself but only on a certain level because I still need to survive. I also don't want to go insane. I still have friends a social life and I feel all of those things to a point. It also might explain why I am so creative/intelligent/see different perspectives in certain ways and a complete moron in other ways. Balancing all of those mental illnesses is the hardest part....who knows maybe I am the next step in evolution because I cope so well. haha thanks this discussion has revealed my self.

Don't get me wrong, being miserable sucks, but it does help develop creativity.
