Well, this explains a lot...

I read that creativity is linked with mental illness. Not sure if it's true though... Also, if you're in a group and you all start laughing, you'll look at the person you like the most.

creativity is linked with mental illness

Bullshit. I'm in a story-writing rut and I'm still anxiety-ridden from real-life concerns.

you're in a group and you all start laughing, you'll look at the person you like the most.

How would this work in an internet forum? Do you look at the comment the user you like the most made and take in every word?

Or is it a real life group of friends?

3929516 To number one, I feel that in all of this sort of thing, it wouldn't be 100% accurate. However, I do know a ton of creative people who have mental illness, so I'm willing to bet they didn't do a study, they just worked on what they knew. As for the second one, yeah, I think they mean real life.

Back to number one, I don't think it has as much to with writing/art, as the actual state of being creative as a person.

Really now...........those are some strange claims..............is it scientifically proven?

Oh, well. Everyone has their differences.

And to answer the sentence you edited out, I don't have any mental illness; you're right about that.

I really hope the people whom you know have mental illnesses get better and still retain their creativity, though. Life can be shitty enough without these kinds of curveballs thrown at them.

As for the second one, I...guess it would make some kind of sense? I mean, you'd be gauging how they would react to whatever made the group laugh.

That, or keep on laughing instead of looking at anybody else.

Did the source you read mention "like the most" as "Friendship" love or "Romantic" love?
