Hypochondriac

Hypochondriac is a term coined by Carly Pressman and The Creator to describe somebody who claims that he or she is sick or hurt after hearing about somebody else getting sick or hurt. This is a type of trick to easily get attention but can sometimes result in medical malpractice. Many people usually do not fall for this trick unless they are convinced hard enough.

Notable examples

 * Sometimes to avoid going to school, Carly claims to be sick after reading a book in which a certain character gets sick although Carly herself is not actually sick. Most people don't believe her and this trick fails.
