If I wanted to make people believe I was insane, there are some things I can think of, even though I am kind of already a little crazy. In order for people to truly believe that I was insane, I would have to have the people closest to me in life believe that I was insane. First I would say things out of no where that don't have any relevancy or make any sense. I would have to talk to myself and not perform the same hobbies I usually do. Instead I would pick up some weird hobby like making a ton of bird-houses or something else that I would never do. The last step to making people believe I am crazy is to truly act insane. I could do this by eating grass or running around all over the place. This would draw a lot of attention and if I saw someone acting this way I would definitely think that they were insane. Being very seclusive would also be a very important step in making people believe that I was insane.
If I found out that one of my friends had been spying on me I would be confused and disturbed. I would want to know how long they had been spying on me for and why they were doing it. The trust in that relationship would be completely destroyed and I would question everything that that person and I had experienced for real or fake. The hardest part about that experience would be loosing a friend and also having that constant feeling of someone is watching me all of the time. I would probably disconnect all communication with that person and be very conscious of people watching me. I'm sure I would experience a sense of paranoia after that experience. I would feel extremely violated and kind of creeped out after the whole spying situation.

Natalie,
Great post (I appreciate how thoroughly you cover all the bases here!). But birdhouses? I think there are a lot of retirees across the nation whom we'd have to classify as insane given your description.
I'm anxious to see what you think of Hamlet's response to all this!
