I want your own definitions of these words:

Insanity (insane)
Weird
Creepy (as in a person is creepy)

I have been taking notes and jotting down ideas for my first book.
I have accumulated a lot of work now and I'm beginning to put the puzzle together.

I just want to see how other people define these words.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

cant define it better than that lol.

wierd is just out of the normal.

creepy is a certain feeling of aversion to something.

where did you come up with this at?

Einstein.

i know that but its a quote not a definition. people say it like its in the dictionary or something and i never understand why lol.

Sanity is when somebody acts in a rational manner/possesses good mental health. Insanity is when somebody acts irrationally/does not possess good mental health. Perhaps to be labelled insane this irrationality has to be systemic and not just a one-off occurence also.
Weird is simply something other than the normal or expected.
Creepy is an adjective to describe something which puts certain people at unease by its behaviour/appearance.

nope not einstein actually. franklin is believed to have said it but there is an earlier version of it or something. i forget. im sure yall could look it up easy enough.

Not either actually. The quote has been attributed to both and variations abound. Einstein is the most common.

its attributed to mark twain as well.

but the quote is on ben franklins wikipage.

but it says on that page that the earliest occurance is by Rita Mae Brown.

Insanity: lack of rational judgement, usually personally and/or socially
Weird: a statistical outlier, unexpected and not (immediately) comprehensible
Creepy: frightening in a repulsing way OR suspicious and menacing, usually in a perverted way
