Why does Mulder talk about his crazy ideas to random people, even tho je knows nobody will take him seriously as hehas no proof for them whatsoever?

I have noticed on numerous ocasions that Mulder, when having one of his 'supernatural' theories, just goes and tells them to normies. Why? Why not just keep them between himself and Scully? I am watching the episode where the guy can manifest his will onto other people and Mulder goes to court and just says so. Is he stupid? Does he actually think the court will say Oh ok so you think he cotrols people's minds, well let's send him to jail. If anything they would recommend Mulder to visit a shrink. There are numerous such cases
