When you were a kid, did you ever pretend to be hurt (or more hurt than you actually were)?

Not really but one time I had to leave my cast I go to Mexico for vacation.

my parents called my uncle to come stay at our house while we were on vacation but I didn’t know that..

upon returning from our trip

i saw our house with them living in it.. it was my uncle , his new wife and children.

on of the kids was a small fat boy.

he was carrying a small lunchbox, the old plastic type. And he was swinging it up into the air and back swinging swinging and I heard something

i said wait!

and I said let me see the lunchbox

and he said no!

unsaid yes let me see what’s inside

and he ran and I ran behind him and I took it away! And I knew it!!! A cat was in there!!!

one of the little ones! He was crying and had blood on his nose

I was so mad, I wanted to beat the kid up. I was a kid myself and I knew I was gonna get in trouble so I went to tell his mom “look what your child did!” “He tortured my cat!!! And he’s a baby, look he’s bleeding!”

but she just say “Abby what did you do?”

and she continue to talk to my parents without reprimanding him at all

i was so angry I went to tell my mom and she just say “okay take them away from him”

noting was done to the damn kid not even scolded nothing! Not even a talk

so I went to my room and I closed the door and I cried like the soap operas haha

I felt my life was a soap opera!! And I cried so dramatically I even imagined the cameras filming me 😂 haha I went to look in the mirror and said yeah I look like the soap operas and went back to the door and deamatically slid down the door as I cried saying”nobody cares! And my days were doing to die tortured to death! Suffocated!!!” 😩😫😭😭😭😭

so I didn’t fake pain or something but I did dramatically overreacted in my own room by myself haha 😂

Sometimes yeah, only with my family when I was already hurt. I wanted attention so I would exaggerate the situation. They quickly caught on and I eventually got over it.

No I have never pretended to be hurt more than I was at any time of my life.

Though I was never a good actor anyway.

But I see sports people on the TV pretending to be badly injured all the time, and then a minute or two later, they're back up, and in full health.

Perhaps this is something associated with adults and not children.

nope... but I did pretend to be less hurt, or not hurt, lol

sports can be like that

just once in preschool. i was treated different than a different cry baby and learnt teachers are evil.

Even as a child I was never that immature.

not that I can recall. It was usually the opposite. I got hurt but would not show it.
