How do you talk to someone who is sane but out of their mind?
Question:
Answers:
Once I heard a writer said that if we could understand the logic in peoples brain then nobody was called crazy. As a person who has OCD I must say there is no one on Earth that thinks like I do. I am a very sane person (I have two masters in engineering). I see the world the same as other people do. Only my interpretation and reasoning is different. When I need to think like other people it is like I need to swim against the flow and convince myself it is the flow.
You need to ask the person to change his/her logic and reasoning from the way he is used to. And be honest with you it is not an easy task to do.
Put yourself in their shoes and figure out what makes them tick.
Talk slowly and calmly, and have simple conversations with them
Let them talk, try to be patient, listen carefully.
Ha Ha, With respect - cause it's got to be really hard to do both of those things at once! Seriously though, more info is needed please, it's a little hard to respond to a statement that general!
It's one or the other..Either they're sane or insane.
