Rant

Note: If this offends you, please tell me. I'm not trying to do that to anyone.


Why does this person I know keep faking mental conditions/mental health struggles???? like no, you DONT struggle to wake up everyday, or with being socially anxious. you have a friend group of literally over 5 people. You are not lonely, please stop saying that!!! They always get mad at me when I'm dry when texting, have they ever thought I'm not in a good headspace at that moment so my texting won't be expressive?? Which recently I have been pretty depressed, and they just get mad at me for being that way, like I thought you felt that way too, show some empathy?? Personally, I'm not diagnosed with anything, but sometimes I feel like I need to be. My mental health just isn't that great, and about mental conditions, you do not have ADHD or Autism, you've hardly done any research! you only know about hyper fixations, stimming, vocal stims and stuff like that from TikTok!!! all these "signs" you speak of all of a sudden starting popping up AFTER you learned about Autism and ADHD. They also think they have Dyslexia, which they don't. for the 3 years I've knows them (a year of that they didn't know what any of this was) they have been fine at reading and spelling, they've just fallen off a bit, but they used to be pretty good at it! and the absolute fakest thing, they fake Tourettes Syndrome. One of the most noticeable things. It's not very "maskable" right? and like I said before, this all started AFTER they found out what these disorders were. It's crazy to me but there is nothing i can do about it without seeming extremely rude. It really bothers me though.


Please help me try and say something to them without being really insensitive about it, thank you.

they might be mentally ill or something, but if it keeps bothering you and making you uncomfortable don't hang out with them. you don't owe anyone anything! they will seek out help if they want it.



It could be that, faking so much might be an actual disorder, but thank you! :)

i dunno if this helps, but if your friend keeps faking disorders or illnesses they never had, then it is most likely they have factitious disorder. not saying that they 100% have it, but if they keep doing this, it is most likely that they do have it.



Honestly, that fits them very well! Thank you! :>
