Version 1: “These Are the Signs That He Is Crazy”
Sometimes, the line between quirky and concerning can blur. If you’ve been questioning someone’s behavior and wondering whether it goes beyond eccentricity, here are some signs that may indicate he is not just unusual—but possibly unstable. These are red flags that should not be ignored.
He displays intense mood swings without clear cause. One minute, he’s ecstatic and affectionate; the next, withdrawn, angry, or even aggressive. These emotional swings can leave people around him walking on eggshells, unsure of what might trigger the next shift.
He talks in circles or obsesses over conspiracy theories, even when shown evidence to the contrary. He might insist he’s being followed, monitored, or targeted, despite having no proof. These could be early signs of paranoia or delusional thinking.
He isolates himself or tries to isolate you. If he doesn’t want you talking to friends or family and tries to control who you see, it may come from a place of deep insecurity or instability—not love. Emotional manipulation is often a tool used by those who are mentally unwell and controlling.
He has violent outbursts—whether verbal or physical. Even if he later apologizes or blames stress, violence should never be dismissed. Broken walls, slammed doors, or explosive arguments are not just signs of a bad temper; they can point to deeper psychological problems.
He rarely takes responsibility for anything. He plays the victim, blames others, and never sees fault in himself. This defensiveness might mask a fragile ego or a distorted view of reality.
He has a history of unstable relationships—with exes, friends, coworkers. He might describe everyone from his past as “toxic” or “crazy,” yet similar patterns keep repeating. That consistency may reveal more about him than it does about the people he criticizes.
He shows signs of compulsive behavior: gambling, shopping, excessive drinking, drug use, or impulsive decisions with major consequences. These behaviors are often attempts to manage internal turmoil or emotional instability.
He lacks empathy. If he seems indifferent to the suffering of others or can’t understand how his actions affect people, that can be a sign of deeper personality disorders or mental health challenges.
He becomes fixated. Whether on you, a goal, a belief, or a grudge, obsession can spiral out of control. If he’s always monitoring your social media, texting nonstop, or becoming upset if you don’t respond quickly, it might indicate unhealthy attachment or control issues.
He threatens self-harm or uses his mental state to manipulate. Saying “If you leave me, I’ll hurt myself” is not just concerning—it’s emotionally abusive. People in crisis need help, but manipulation is a serious red flag.
If these signs sound familiar, it’s important to seek help—for yourself and possibly for him. Mental illness does not make someone a bad person, but it does mean they may need professional support. And you need to prioritize your own well-being.
Version 2: “These Are the Signs That He Is Crushing on You”
Trying to figure out if a guy has feelings for you can be both exciting and confusing. Sometimes, he’s obvious about it. Other times, the signs are subtle but meaningful. Here’s how you might know he’s crushing hard:
He finds excuses to talk to you. Whether it’s asking a random question, borrowing something he doesn’t need, or commenting on your stories, he looks for reasons to start a conversation—even if they’re small or silly.
He remembers the little things. You casually mention your favorite snack or a childhood memory, and he brings it up later. This shows he’s genuinely paying attention.
He’s nervous around you. If he fidgets, laughs awkwardly, stumbles on his words, or avoids eye contact only to sneak glances when you’re not looking, that’s a sign his nerves are kicking in because he likes you.
He mirrors your body language. Subconsciously, people imitate the movements of those they’re drawn to. If you lean in, he leans in. If you laugh, he laughs. This unconscious mimicry is a big indicator of attraction.
He teases you—but gently. Playful teasing, light jokes, and small challenges are classic signs of flirting. As long as it’s not mean-spirited, teasing often means he’s trying to build a connection.
He gives you compliments—especially unique ones. Instead of just saying you’re pretty, he might tell you he likes the way you think or admire your passion for something. Personal compliments show deeper interest.
He gets a little jealous. If he stiffens when you talk about another guy or asks follow-up questions, that might be jealousy peeking through. It’s not always obvious, but the shift in tone can say a lot.
His friends know about you. If his buddies smile when you’re around, drop hints, or seem to know more about you than they should, chances are he’s been talking about you—often.
He offers help or support, even when it’s inconvenient for him. Need a ride, a hand with a project, or just someone to talk to? If he always shows up, he’s not doing it just to be nice.
He finds ways to be physically close. Sitting near you, brushing hands, playful nudges—these are ways to test boundaries and increase intimacy.
He laughs at your jokes, even the bad ones. Especially the bad ones. If he’s grinning just because you’re happy, he’s probably crushing.
He texts you late at night, just to chat. When someone chooses to talk to you instead of sleep, it usually means they’re thinking about you. Those late-night convos can reveal deeper feelings.
He opens up about himself. If he tells you personal stories, his goals, or insecurities, he’s trying to create a deeper bond and show his authentic side.
He compliments how you think—not just how you look. When someone says, “That’s such a smart way to look at it,” or “I love how your mind works,” they’re clearly into more than just appearances.
He makes future plans with you in mind. If he talks about concerts next month, road trips, or “someday” scenarios with you in them, he’s imagining a future that includes you.
If several of these signs are present, chances are he’s into you. The best way to know for sure? Ask—or give him the green light to tell you. Life’s too short to wonder forever.
