False claims don't project reality. Anyway, no, just means you want attention or an excuse for something.

Can be, yeah.

Munchausen is a mental illness that revolves around faking sickness to get things like doctor's notes, money or attention.

They are still mentally ill, just not with what they think they have.

lack of attention, and all the benefits you can get from having more sympathy on yourself

I used to be obsessed with a YouTube video where a guy got diagnosed with being a psychopath because he was pretending to be one. Like they knew he was pretending and diagnosed him

Yeah its usually just malingering to get an excuse for something or some free dopamine

tbh I unironically think when boys fake mental illnesses the chances of them having actual issues is higher than when girls do it

I think people may also fake it because they maybe ARE already struggling with a mental illness. But they aren't receiving proper care or attention that they need. So they try to overcompensate and make their mental state seem worse so more people take them srsly

%100 agree with this statement, there’s always some other underlying issue.
