The Kind Of 'Crazy' He Loves In A Woman, Based On His Zodiac Sign

The word "crazy" is problematic; it can make people feel marginalized and can add to the lack of understanding that many people with mental illness face.

I come from a family with mental illness. My mother has a form of OCD and narcissistic personality disorder, my brother had schizophrenia, and my father probably had some form of depression. I have a number of phobias and fears.

My point is, I take mental health extremely seriously and I try to be sensitive in regards to that topic. I would never call someone "crazy" as a way to belittle them or their mental health. When I use the word crazy, it isn't about disrespecting people with mental illness for it can mean many things that there aren't always other words for.

For instance, when someone has that touch of madness that inspires amazing creativity, we might describe them as being "crazy good" at painting, or if they're passionately excited about someone, they might be crazy about Taylor Swift.

Sometimes, crazy just means going totally overboard with an emotion. When I looked up the word in the online dictionary, it had many definitions including impractical, intensely enthusiastic, passionately excited, anxious, eager, impatient, wonderful, excellent, perfect, and infatuated. Those are some very good words and very positive attributes.

When the word crazy was used in the title of the film Crazy, Stupid, Love, the creators weren't trying to slam people with mental illness, nor were they with the title of the popular TV show Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. The thought is that being crazy in love is a very good thing.

Perhaps the answer isn't to strike crazy from our vocabularies but to embrace it as a way to convey when something is special, unique, and positive. Here are the kinds of crazy he loves in a woman, according to his zodiac sign.
