Hypochondriac
Do you know one? How do you deal with them without p*ssing them off? How do you hold your tongue or stop from rolling your eyes when they have another episode that requires the media to be alerted?
Re: Hypochondriac
This! I know a couple, one of them is a really good friend.
Well I hope they aren't really dying because that made me laugh.
There was a time when my aunt (who was the diagnosed person) was rushed to the hospital once a year. I know plenty of people that are mostly normal but still totally remind me of her with their health issues/concerns that the tell everyone about.
I've had luck by not acknowledging their complaints or talk of doctors appointments. Act like you couldn't be more underwhelmed. Hypocondriacs crave attention so when no one cares that they think they have cancer of the big toe they tend to bark up the tree that will listen. I have a friend who is always going to the doctor for something or another and everything is a worse case scenario- that gets real old.I physically do not have the energy to always listen to the long conversation so I have to wrap it up.
Also, I've said such things as "You should've been born in a bubble because you are always sick". "Do you think your negative attitude is impacting your health". Or of course you can't come to (xyz)- you are always sick."
