I would like to give a shout-out to the "how-ever-many-things men say women are crazy about but they really aren't" articles that defend women's rights to say their feelings are hurt, that they are jealous or that they have strong emotions. Go feminism!
All women are crazy, though. And while the things in those articles are justifiable, such as showing healthy emotions and communicating them effectively, our generation doesn't always do so appropriately. And sometimes, you really are crazy.
Here are ten things our generation has normalized that are totally insane:
1. Psycho Texting
One text really does get the message across.
"I'm not crazy. I just want to know where he is. And what he's doing. And who he's with. I'm curious. Also, I want to know if he got my last text. Like is he just not receiving them? Let me try texting you to see if it goes through."
2. Snapchat Friends
Snapchat made it so you couldn't see other people's best friends and scores on purpose. Don't manipulate the system.
"I see that there is no longer a heart next to your name on my Snapchat friends. This is really confusing for me because you are my best friend on Snapchat. So either I'm going to sue Snapchat for getting it wrong or YOU TELL ME WHO SHE IS."
3. Friend Jealousy
Your best friend can't go out. She's tired. She's busy. She has plans with someone else. That doesn't mean she's not your best friend.
"I bet she's really with Trina. I know she secretly likes her even though she talks about her around me. I bet she tells Trina they are best friends too."
4. Fabricating Situations
Picturing your dude with another woman in any made-up scenario in your head is crazy. It's not real. And you probably just piss yourself off.
"I had a dream that you cheated on me. How could you do that to me?"
5. Accusing Dishonesty
If your man tells you he was at the bar, he's already afraid he's in trouble for leaving you at home. And yes, there were girls there. But if he wanted to hit on those girls, he wouldn't be in a relationship with you.
"Oh really? You were just at the bar with your friends? And there were no girls there?"
6. Questioning Compliments
If someone says you look good, you probably just look good. Unless you're Lindsay Lohan and your best friend is a Plastic.
"Do they really think I'm pretty? Or did they just say that to make me think about it? Was that, like, actually a stab? Does that mean the opposite of what they said?"
8. Binge-Drinking
When you're drunk, everything that is normally filtered is actually barfed out onto everyone around you via word vomit, or actual vomit, and that's when the real crazy shows. There is no one single, coherent example of this.
