“Going-crazy literature” has become popular, with young people using exaggerated expressions to release stress and find emotional resonance.
Na, have you noticed? These days a lot of young people casually say they’re “going crazy,” and they even seem proud of it.
I’ve noticed. The phrase “going crazy is shameful but useful” is really a joking way of saying: emotionally, I can’t hold on anymore.
In the past, people emphasized emotional stability—like not breaking down was a sign of maturity. Now they’re more willing to talk about pressure.
Right. That’s a shift. From suppressing emotions to releasing them through exaggeration and self-mockery—it’s actually more proactive.
I can feel it at school too. Some students talk about anxiety through memes, which is better than bottling it up.
But there still has to be a limit. “Going crazy” can be an outlet, not an answer—otherwise the problem is still there.
Basically, it’s about letting yourself catch your breath first, then figuring out how to deal with real-life issues.
Exactly. When emotions are seen and acknowledged, people can slowly return to rationality—that’s probably why it’s ‘useful.’
