I grew up and had a very troubled life. And when I talk to people I always make it sound worse and add stuff to make it worse,or just create a huge lie. I get a sort of high off people feeling bad for me. I've never taken this to a very serious length, as in harming myself or others. But this is something I don't think is normal at all.
I think everybody feels tht way sumtimes becuz we all want to feel special ..but nobody wants sumone who is always negative . and thn that will just put u in a worse mood...so cheer up &u will find out tht ppl will enjoy bein around u more !
I do it too! Im such an attention whore lol. I actually wish bad sruff would happen to me so i wouldnt have to feel guilty about lying.
its not normal, but i do it too. i had a very hard childhood, and i for some reason cant bring myself to tell people about it, so it all just sits inside. instead, to get sympathy to make up for everything i went through as a child ill make my medical problems seem worse or start crying, its really annoying for me and for other people. i wish i could stop.
i do this too. its a need for attention. I sometimes find myself exaggerating medical issues to make people feel sorry for me. Or finding other ways to make people feel sorry for me but then i hate it when people think im weak or less of a person. So i still try to appear strong and "damaged" at the same time.
oh i do it all the time. i feel bad after that though. like i'm living a lie. trying to stop but don't seem to have succeeded yet. and it gets annoying when people assumes wrongly. like for example, i'm dyslexic so i have some disabilities but nothing major. but, i tend to add on to that story so that my friends take pity on me cause hey it's hard you know. but they seem to have gotten the wrong idea, they (based on my stories...) think i'm stupid and blur. but i'm not. that's just a lie...you know?
it's unhealthy, but i do it too. I'm young though, so hopefully my meds and therapy will help. my life had a lot of drama, and still does, so I know what you prolly feel like. good luck to you, and if it makes you feel better about yourself then lie a little bit. don't lie or exagerate too much though, or else you might forget details and people might find out! haha(:
