Just don’t be so much of you that people get scared.
I was shocked at this advice from my insane cousin Ned.
I had no idea that this apathetic guy even cared.

Yes, indeed. Caren, of course you know this, but many years ago people who were different--perhaps brilliant and creative--were considered insane and were sometimes put away.
