"Sometimes people don´t
feel well because they don´t want to"
Some people are always complaining
about their health. One of the most common phrases is “I do not feel well”.
However, many illnesses are made up in people´s mind, That means that they
really do not have a physical sickness. Following this further, there are many
reasons why people act as if they feel bad by inventing medical problems.
Some people behave as
if they do not feel well because of an inner need to be seen as ill or injured.
For example, these people pretend to have a physical illness such as a
stomachache, a headache and so on, in order to get special attention. As a
result, other people try to help them by providing pills and treatments that
are totally unnecessary.
Other people make up medical
problems looking for practical benefits. For example, getting out of work by calling
in sick has become very popular all over the world. Also, there are some people
who want to avoid a lawsuit or an incarceration by faking a serious disease. As
a result, these people convince themselves that they have an illness in order
to make believe other people the same so they can benefit from it.
Inventing medical
problems is very frequent when a person has low self-esteem. These people do so
because they are looking for excuses to avoid socializing with others. Moreover,
they want to consume medications in order to feel better emotionally. For
instance, there are some people that have the need to ingest medicine not to
solve a physical illness but a psychological problem related to poor
self-esteem.
In conclusion, some people
can make believe that they do not feel well for a variety of reasons. No matter
the reason the person has, it is important to look for professional help. These
people have the option to take psychological therapies to prevent that those
inventing illnesses affect many aspects of their lives.
