Is it normal that i daydream about receiving medical attention?

Many people will look at this question and automatically assume this is a form of attention-seeking behavior, but hear me out.

For a long time, I've daydreamed about getting physically injured or becoming ill and receiving medical attention. Fainting particularly was something I thought about a lot growing up.

Now here's the disclaimer: in reality, I actually hate attention. Of any kind, really. I've been in the hospital and it's just awkward and unpleasant. Fainting isn't fun, either. But for some reason, I get this rush from imagining passing out and coming to in an ambulance or hospital even though I KNOW logically this is stupid and would likely be an unpleasant experience.

Anyone else know what I'm talking about here?

    You probably feel embarrased by attention but actually like it....so hears a way to get attention without feeling guilty about it

    I imagine stuff like this too. it doesn't usually involve me though. Usually just involves a person I made up in my mind. When I'm bored, I would imagine him dying in different way, like a unicorn stabbing him with it's horn or him setting himself on fire while in his underwear. Even the guy getting murdered by an undercover cartoon character who's pretending to be a real person.

    The shit I daydream up is weirder than yours. But you're normal, so no worries.

    ...because that's what it is.

    Don't know what you're talking about, but if you don't actually want it to happen, but just feel some kind of rush from thinking it, I guess it's normal. I mean the things I think about that give me a rush would probably give most people a rush, but they aren't necessarily normal, so I guess this is normal. I really don't know.

    Hope my useless answer helped.

    Maybe you just want the experience. The first and only time I fainted I was like "that was kind of fun." I didn't have to go to the hospital though. There are some things I just like experiencing, whether they are good or bad.

    Same here. But i never imagine fainting, only like braking bones and stuff, and then being able to deal with it. In reality I'm not that strong, I'd probs just freak out.
