Is it wierd that I sometimes like being sick?!
Question: I don't know. I just enjoy the attention. It makes me feel kinda special. Might be weird. But if I'm really bad sick and, like, suffering.. I hate it.
Anyone else like that often?

It's not weird and it's not as rare as one would think. More than merely a physical illness that accompanies it, this behaviour has some emotional or psychological issues also.
You nailed it right on the head: "It makes me feel kinda special". It gives you an opportunity to receive attention, comfort and love, even sympathy, which must be something you believe is lacking in your life. So you feel that people will feel sorry for you, love you more, maybe even give you a break from your responsibilities. But it could very well cause relationship problems (You don't say how old you are, so let's suppose a teen) with your parents, friends, and boyfriend. And later on it may certainly cause troubles with your spouse.
The need for attention, love, sympathy, etc. may be real or imagined deficiencies in your emotional life. You need to talk to your parents, or friend/boyfriend openly and honestly. You are probably just imagining these things, and blowing them out of proportion because oddly enough, the result is that you feel good after. They payoff, but not the right way.
But when you become an adult, get a job, have a spouse and possibly kids, you will certainly not get attention in this manner. Most people don't get attention, but have to give it. Life is just like that. But you possibly have many good qualities, it sounds like to me, and talents, that if you develop those things, people will notice you and your honest motivation, instead of this incorrect means of manipulation for attention. So try to find the positive elements of your character and life that will satisfy your emotional needs/make you feel happier. Have you heard the story of Peter and the wolf?
i like being sick... =no work!! wooo
It's called Munchausen's syndrome.
I don't like being sick, but once i am, I feel released from working and other duties, like I have a good excuse.
Yeah me too sometimes I like being sick but not for too long. I get sick to avoid things like running in p.e.
There is something peaceful about spending the day in bed and being waited on.As long as its not sick like room spinning or vomiting.
i like being sick because i love missing school
Go
Sickness!! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
lol
yeah thats super freaky.
well if i just have i cold i don't like getting a cold but once i have it i can't make it go away so i like getting to lay in bed and watch tv all day and how i get attention
i understand what you mean and i feel that way sometimes too
Yeah, I feel bad that I feel that way sometimes. I also like getting sick to get out of tests, homework, and other stuff.
Its not that wried when i'm sick i have like mixed feelings. I'm happy cause no school or anything and i can just rest and watch movies.
if being sick brings attention that you are lacking in your everyday life, of course you will enjoy it!
try being happy with yourself. you dont need others attention to be happy.
people who are generally negative, unhappy or dependent enjoy sympathy from others.
dont rely on others for happiness! you can be independent and self sufficient!
I sometimes LOVE being sick, and it's not a mental disorder, I don't have to do all the things I normally do, I can take a legitimate time for myself and not feel guilty...I really love it sometimes..biring on the fever!
no your just being self-centered. if the people that care for you find out what yur doing, what will they do the next time you really are sick?
Well you can't say that it is weird like being sick. There could be many reasons why. How do people treat you when you are sick? Do you find yourself more relax because you can spend the day in bed? How often do you get sick in a years time? There could be other reasons for you like being sick.
I think it is completely normal. I like it to sometimes. People often are nicer and do things for you they would not usually do. The attention is nice if you are not used to getting it on other occasions than being sick. You can really see which of your friends care enough to help you out. It feels good to know you have good friends that care about you that much.
nah its not kwl but it has some possitive sides
