Had this been applied to me, I would never have attended school on Thursdays. I dreaded and hated PE squaredance day with such a passion that very often I did end up with a stomach ache.
That's where my "probably" comes in. So far, everyone loves gym, but if I know something is coming up that someone would rather avoid (test, project deadline, etc.), I'm frank with them about why I'm saying no. It's hardly been an issue yet, because everyone loves school, which is both why I can do it, in the first place, and why I am doing it. I want to keep them in love with school for as long as I can, and so I figure if I let them not-love it honestly, from time to time, they'll feel less pressure.
By the by, I'm in the corner with the people who would fake sick and then feel the sickness I faked, all day.
These days I pretty much can't say "Oh, I get a headache just thinking about it!" without getting the headache.
Which reminds me. Headache diary. I need to fill that out for my doctor. I'm days behind.
My mom's thing when you felt sick was to say to go to school and then if you still felt bad, to call her to come and get you. Which, given that the point of faking sick was usually to avoid having to get up and go to school in the first place, was incredibly frustrating.
Wow, I am kinda amazed by the getting the symptoms if faking it or talking about it. I have that with anxiety stuff a bit, but not illness. thank dog.
It is no good to lie just to then end up sicky anyway.

Have you met me recently? I'm filling out the headache diary, and I'm running out of space. And memory. I need to find a photocopier to make more sheets.
yeah, I am amazed by you. I do not doubt any of it. I know it is awful and non-stop and highly suggestive. It is just beyond my ability to fully grasp not ever having been like that.
Even as a child when I got every stomach virus that went around and was up sick probably every other week, it was never suggestive. I could talk the next day about getting sick and have no effect.
I still will feel sick if I take a fake sick day.
I guess I am just a "good" liar.

It's almost like a sort of method acting, or was for me, as a kid.
I still will feel sick if I take a fake sick day.
I think I have an assache du jour, anyhow, so it's not a huge step from begging off sick and then finding I don't feel all that chipper. I'm trying to not be assache queen, any more. Of course I started trying, right when my seasonal allergies are making me really congested in my chest.
I still will feel sick if I take a fake sick day.
Me, too. It doesn't stop me from taking it, though.
