Is it normal to want cancer?

is it normal? apparently to some extent yes, I knew a girl who actually told everyone she had cancer and shaved her head and everything, just for attention, but I warn you that your lust for attention is going to mess with your life, she went super emo and always told people she would kill herself, her dad beat her, she was raped, etc which were all lies and eventually everyone disowned her, she got lonely and fat and now lives in her parents basement, lonely and hated by all her friends-its normal to want attention to some extent, but try to want attention for aspects of your own personality and stuff rather than BS, wanting cancer I think shows the focus of your life is so centered around attention you actually feel jealousy over remorse for people in that type of situation, so go so a therapist and figure out why you have this addiction

Omg! R u serious? U selfish monster! have some consideration for those who have actually had cancer!I for another has lost someone 2 cancer my father who's life ended painfully battling this! I'd love to punch u right in your face an then spit on u!!

Thank you for opening my eyes and helping me realise how truly stupid people can be.

Honestly, it's kind of normal. And I dont think you ACTUALLY want real cancer. I think you're missing something in your life. And you're longing for attention. Everyone understands how it feels. But there are better ways to get attention. Work hard at your job, invite family over and make them a nice meal, be lady gaga. You're just going through some stuff right now, but with the right attitude, you will get attention without being Pitied . Good luck and I hope I helped.

Stick your balls in the microwave you'll get ball cancer. If your a woman put your breasts in the microwave it's gotta do somthing? Oh ya btw your sick and twisted to want that.

You are going to get some grief for this because lots of people, including myself, have lost someone to cancer (in my case more than one person). But I understand you are not trying to be insulting. You are being extremely selfish and attention-seeking, but many of us have done that too. It'd be hypocritical for me to criticise you for that.

I understand your need to be noticed. But there are ways of doing it positively. It may take some effort and you may find the world never notices you as much as you need. But hey, that's the world. It's tough sometimes and the best thing to do is to accept it, rather than try to change opinion unnaturally.

At least you are honest.

@DannyKanes not all emos are fakers, some are actually serious about the way they feel. I'm not saying I'm emo but it's a little insensitive to just assume they're all faking it for attension. However the ones who are faking annoy me so much...

Dumb ass attention seeking emos go back to slitting your wrists while listening to my chemical romance.

I know this is an old question but I will answer anyways.

I have mixed feelings about this question as I have a friend who has Cancer and two of my grandparents got the disease however I also can understand what you are going through.

I have never personally craved attention at length but I know what it feels like to be ignored.

Cancer will not get you the attention you crave, and if you are rude to others it will only give you negative attention. The type of attention you seem to crave would come from being popular and loved. I would recommend being loyal and getting a pet for that attention.

Chances are you have some form of Munchausen. This is a dangerous thing at times, a woman near me killed her kid by a salt overdose because she wanted to keep her kid sick so she would get sympathy. She didn't intentionally kill her kid, her ignorance caused her to overdose her child with salt through an IV. Her child was 4 years old.

I would seriously recommend a phycologist to help sort out your feelings and help you understand what you really want. If these thoughts persist and you start seriously thinking about doing something drastic than a phycologist is a must.

These feelings can be very dangerous, people have injected things like feces in their blood for their desire to be sick. Often times people are hurt in the process or the person causing the trouble in the first place isolates themselves into a cave of depression since when their secret is found out no speaks to them anymore including friends, family, and other peers. This would lead to you getting no attention and even if you get any it will be negative.

Chances are the reason you feel this way is due to things like parents not being around enough for you when you were little so you felt ignored. This would lead you to finding and means possible to be noticed. You probably also feel that self worth is measured in how much attention you receive. This can be dangerous as if you will never be satisfied with the amount of attention you receive so you will do crazier and crazier things to get attention until you are discoverd or something goes seriously wrong.

Please, find help. It's not no Cancer that you want. What you want is to feel accepted in society and to feel like you are worth something. You can do that by helping others like in charities or having pets.

I would make your feelings open to your family about your want for attention and find a phychologist, even a school psychologist

It's depression that makes you want to have cancer. Because you may not know if you want to go on or not, you want something that's slow and maybe even painful so that you know if you're meant to go on or not. Feeling this way doesn't make you a bad person. But it means you should talk to someone. Maybe a trusted adult or a therapist. Someone who can work on making you feel better with easy steps. People who say you're sick for thinking this are very one sided. Telling a hurt and sad person that they are worthless because someone they knew died from cancer. Those people could at least show more compassion seeing someone hurt so bad they wished something this horrible thing on to themselves. I hope you get better.

Munchausen syndrome seriously go to the hospital and talk to a psychologist

I feel exsactly the same! I want cancer, but at the same time I dont. I want it for the attention, but I would not be open about it. I would want to tell only my closest of friends. I want to be looked after and want to be noticeed, and when others do find out I want to laugh in there face when they want to know me, because when people have cancer, especially around my age they get all sorts of people pretending to know them and try to be there best freinds when they've never spoke to them before, because they want to say there friend has cancer rat ta tar tar ta FUCK OFF you dint care before for them so dont now!Ive had very close family die of cancer but yet I still want it. i hate feeling like this and wish I could change. My biggest problem is I want to laugh in the faces of everyone who is trying to give you attention because you have cancer, when they dint give a shit before. jack cooper 16

Good for being honest but it's not normal and you need help. My mom told me she had cancer for attention, needless to say, I hate her.

you should be disgusted with yourself. why would you wish cancer on anyone, especially yourself? just for attention? my stepmother died of cancer and she didn't care about the attention she was getting, she cared about living. you should be ashamed.

You're sick! People have cancer and die from it everyday! Why would you want that? That's horrible!! Just because you want attention? You're not ganna get a lot if you die from it.

Shut up u pussy no one wants cancer is it normal for me to fuck ur mother cremate her and use her ashes to fuck my dog

Go visit a few cancer patients. I hope u dont like having hair. Hope u love havi g a needle stuck in ur chest. And i hope u like throwing up. Go getcha some.

My mom died from cancer when I was twelve, it was the most horrible thing I've ever seen happen to someone. Please don't ever say you want cancer again, because you don't.

I lost my mother to cancer. They cut off half her jaw. Dug in the roof of her mouth to cut out cancer. She had a feeding tube for over a year. Never to taste food again. The cancer got to her brain. And six weeks before she died my father died of an unrelated illness. She lived out of state. I was on a plane all the time. Thank God for the hospice nurse. You are being selfish. You are looking for the wrong kind of attention. Do something spectacular, instead of wishing yourself with cancer.

Is this some kind of joke. What kind of sick person are you. My best friend has lost her child because of cancer and is now dying of it herself. And you want that?!?! Next time you post some question like that on here again, think about how that makes the millions of people affected by cancer feel you complete sicko

You clearly have no concept of reality. This is such a disgusting thing to say but sadly your not the only person who thinks this way. I recently lost my brother, so my value of life has rocketed for any body to say such a thing makes me extremely angry. If you want attention get a hobby or put yourself out in the world rather than seeking sympathy through something which you are blessed not to have.

I want to have cancer too, but just so that I'll stop getting my period. I'm a guy, so it's kind of a pain.

your wishing your life away just to get a bit of attention? you can't just get a haircut, a tattoo or a peircing? grow up and realise other people have more serious problems than a little lack of attention. karma's a bitch and one day when you begin to think your life actually means something you'll get something like cancer and wish you never said this.

Fucking disgusting! I hate selfish people like you

^ I actually like My Chemical Romance lol, but it was the first band that popped into my head. I should of said something really gay like Alice Nine or Dir En Grey

Ahahahaha, you're too funny. I have nothing to say, except wow, you're a comedian.

why dont you make something of yourself to make people want to pay attention to you for the right reasons because chances are that if you are not getting any attention now, no one is going to care about you if you have cancer so you will just die a lonely and horrible death for nothing.
its probably better for you to figure out why no one likes you and then change yourself accordingly.

Yes, you are honest and don't always listen to what everyone else says. If you are sad and your family isn't very interested in you, it's normal to want someone to give you love and recognition. Though this is all understandable, never wish for a desease because you don't know how bad it is until you're there. My cousin is terminally ill with cancer and I'm sure he would give anything to be better.
Perhaps your life isn't so amazing right now but saying you want cancer is sort of like saying you want death.
Maybe talk to your family or close friends about this or see a counselor or therapist. I think that could make you feel happy and want to be noticed in a positive way!
