Yes, IMHO you may be a bit touchy about being called nuts.

I was diagnosed (wrongly, IMHO) with Type II bipolar depression in 2009. Last year (2023), I finally ditched the evil antipsychotic drugs that turned me from a hyperactive "nut" into a paranoid recluse.

My wife says, "You're back to being your good old, nutty self!", to which I take no offense.

"Nuts to me!", I say.
