[Lovecraft] Does looking at Nyarlathoteps human form make us go insane?

Looking at any of the eldritch gods makes us go mad, now nyarlathotep can shapeshift, would looking at his human form have the same effect or would it be like looking at any human?

An important thing to keep in mind is that for most Lovecraftian entities, the order of operations isn't "see beasty -> lose mind", it's "encounter odd phenomenon -> be tormented by phenomenon for extended period -> exacerbate erosion of mental stability due to lack of sleep and food plus isolation -> finally encounter the cause of the torment -> snap from the cumulative strain".

Just being in the room with human-form Nyarly isn't going to break you. In fact, the complete lack of context would be a blessing in disguise, because your ignorance of the full ramifications of their presence would take a lot of pressure off; as far as you know, it is just some weird dude, or a hallucination or a dream that can be dismissed when it's over.
