Method 1 Entering the role
1. Think about what illness you are pretending to be. Generally choose a disease that is not easy to worry about and is not serious enough to go to the doctor. Usually colds, fevers, or minor illnesses that last 24 hours are good options. Be aware of the signs of disease and do not exaggerate, otherwise you will go too far.
2. Casually mention that you are experiencing symptoms of illness a day in advance. If you don't want to go to school on Monday, you're going to be sluggish and lethargic on Sunday. Tell people around you that you feel uncomfortable or a little dizzy. She showed a loss of appetite and went to bed early. This way you will appear more credible when you actually "get sick" the next day.
3Think about past illnesses. People know how you were sick in the past. Think about how you felt at that time and how you behaved at that time. Then replaying past symptoms and emotions. It's easier to fake a relapse than to pretend a disease is new to you.
4How to look pale. Applying green concealer to your cheeks and forehead will make your face look pale. Don't apply too much green cosmetics, as the saying goes, too much is never enough.
• Makeup should be natural, otherwise it will be obvious at first glance that you are playing tricks.
• If your makeup is prone to falling off, your concealer will reveal your true colors if someone touches it.
5. If you want to look dizzy, take small, slow steps. Don't get out of bed or get out of your chair all at once. If there is a table in front of you, pretend to lose balance and support the table with your hands before slowly getting up.
• To find the feeling of dizziness, you can rotate yourself when you are alone, savor it carefully, and remember the feeling of dizziness with your heart. If there are people around you, don't go overboard to avoid being discovered.
6Behave abnormally. The patient will not laugh so hard that his branches tremble with laughter, and his mood will be high. You need to appear distracted. If you're the type of person who gets irritable when you're sick, act like it. Even if you participate in an activity you enjoy, don't appear to be enjoying it. For example, when you are invited to watch a movie you like, you should politely decline the request.
7Response should be slow. Stay in bed as much as possible. It's normal to want to stay in bed when you're sick. The human body is resting while also fighting pain and repairing itself. Sitting at the table, he would pretend to doze off from time to time, and curl up and bury himself on the sofa whenever he had the chance.
• Pretend to be shivering even if you are covered with a quilt.
8 Pretend you are worried about your illness. Real illness is not easy, dragging yourself and others down. When pretending to be sick, you repeatedly emphasized that you were sorry that you could not attend the event and did not apologize for the inconvenience it may have caused. Never act like you are happy at home. When others ask you to go home to recuperate, pretend to be reluctant to go to bed.
9. Don't "recover" suddenly. When others believe you are sick, people will be suspicious if you are full of energy the next day. If your parents allow you to rest at home, don't immediately return to being lively and energetic after school.
Method 2: How to pretend to have a fever
1. How to warm up your cheeks and make you sweat. As a disease that is easily transmitted and requires lying still, many people will choose to have a high fever to pretend to be sick. Patients with fever usually have a flushed face and elevated body temperature but still feel cold. Here are some ways to make your face look like you have a fever.
• Instead of washing your hair, just take a hot shower.
• Point a hair dryer at your face.
• Put water on your face to simulate sweating.
• Cover your face with a hot bottle quietly for a few minutes without anyone noticing.
• Rub your face vigorously with your hands.
• Lie head down with your head out of the edge of the bed to create a cerebral congestion effect.
2. Wrap yourself in blankets and clothes. In this way, you will not only sweat, but also appear that you are afraid of the cold. No matter how thickly you wrap yourself, you should always look like you are shivering. Cold sweats are typical symptoms of a cold and fever.
3 Tampering with thermometer readings. If your parent or nurse inserts a thermometer into your mouth, you can use the following methods to fake a higher body temperature. But you must also pay attention to the limit. If your body temperature is accidentally too high, the hospital will treat you as a critical patient.
• Drink hot water before taking your temperature.
• Place the thermometer over the hot light bulb for a while
• Shake the metal tip of the thermometer vigorously. This will shake out some of the mercury (not suitable for electronic thermometers).
Method 3: Pretend to have gastrointestinal discomfort
1 Pretend to have a loss of appetite. Pretend to be picky and don't eat all the foods you normally like.
2. Massage the stomach with your hands from time to time while making an uncomfortable expression on your face . Don't tell anyone that you feel sick to your stomach initially. If someone notices that you feel uncomfortable, tell them.
3. Keep a bowl-shaped container next to you as if you might vomit at any time. Stare at the bowl every once in a while and pretend you feel sick.
4. Use the restroom frequently. Patients may feel like vomiting or have diarrhea due to gastrointestinal discomfort and need to go to the bathroom frequently. Remember actions speak louder than words, if you keep running to the bathroom within an hour, people are bound to notice.
5. Pretend to retching. Go to the toilet at a trot, then make a loud noise on purpose, and make the flushing sound even louder. After repeating it several times, spend some time in the toilet to "recover", and then return to the sight of others languidly.
• Most people don’t want to witness vomiting, so the above symptoms are enough to prove that you do have gastrointestinal discomfort. After vomiting, you can continue to pretend that you still want to vomit.
• When drinking broth, swallow the broth with the minced meat in your mouth. Then he puffed up his cheeks and pretended to be vomiting, then got up and rushed to the bathroom to vomit the food in his mouth into the toilet.
Method 4: Pretend to have the flu
1. Breathe through your mouth. Although you don’t have a runny nose, you can look like your nose is blocked. Breathe loudly through your mouth and slow down your speech. From time to time, pump air inward through your nose to create the illusion of a runny nose.
2 Pretend to shiver with chills. Wear thick clothing and a cotton blanket. Take cold showers to lower skin temperature.
3 Pretending to sneeze and cough is a tricky business. If you don't do it well, your flaws will be exposed. Compared with the two, coughing is easier, although it is not easy.
• Pepper couldn't help but sneeze. Sprinkle some pepper in your coat and inadvertently brush your nose over the pepper-stained clothing, and you will naturally feel the urge to sneeze.
4. Apply a little toothpaste under the eyelids, and the eyes will unconsciously water. Be careful not to let the toothpaste get into your eyes. The toothpaste should stay on for 3 minutes for best results.
Method 5: Pretending to be sick in exchange for a doctor’s certificate
1 Pretend you have a headache. You can pretend you have a migraine, a type of headache that usually occurs on only one side. Describe the pain as a stabbing pain, and you may even squint a little, as migraines can make some people sensitive to light.
• Migraines usually last 4-72 hours.
• Migraine is a good excuse because it's not contagious and therefore less likely to worry others. Additionally, it’s difficult for doctors to “check” for migraines.
2Tell your doctor if you have mild stomach upset or diarrhea. Tell your doctor that you may have food poisoning or that something you ate a few hours ago made your stomach feel upset. Act tired and tell your doctor how much pain you have in your stomach. Other common symptoms of an upset stomach or food poisoning include nausea, vomiting, and watery stools.
• If you want to get a doctor's note, it's not a good idea to fake a fever because your temperature can be easily measured.
3. Tell your doctor or nurse that you have dysmenorrhea. If you are a girl, tell your health care provider that you have painful periods that prevent you from working or going to school. 5-10% of women experience dysmenorrhea during their menstrual period, making it difficult to carry out daily life. This is completely normal. [3]
Method 6: Pretend to be sick on the phone
1. Speak while holding your throat. If you're asking for time off on the phone with your boss, it's best to sound different than usual.
• Speak slower. Pause occasionally when speaking and don't answer too quickly. People who are sick respond more slowly.
• Breathe through your mouth to look like your nose is blocked.
2 implies that the boss's disease is contagious. Although your boss may not necessarily care whether you are sick or not, it is a big deal once it affects the health of employees in the entire office. When asking for leave from your boss, you should emphasize that you think you were infected by other colleagues, implying that if you insist on going to work, you may cause more employees to contract the flu.
3 How to cough and sneeze on the phone. Don't speak directly into the microphone - it's too unreal. The correct approach is to cough or sneeze hard at a distance from the microphone, then apologize to the other party and continue the interrupted conversation.
4 How to pretend to be sick on the phone. Put a glass or two of water on your phone while you sit in the toilet. Retching and pouring water in the middle of the conversation, as if you were vomiting.
5 Too much is too little. Exaggerating the show will attract more suspicion. Tell as few details as possible to avoid having to tell countless lies in the future.
Tips
• It is better to let your parents ask you if you want to take leave first than to ask for leave yourself.
• Say as little as possible when asking for leave from your superiors. Don't give too many details unless they ask. As the saying goes, too much lies can lead to mistakes. Too many lies are self-defeating.
• Pretend to forget routine chores. Such as spraying perfume, combing your hair or brushing your teeth.
• Record the dates, illnesses and reasons for your leave. Avoid routines that draw attention to your time off.
warn
• Do not take medicine if you are pretending to be sick. Otherwise, the body may be damaged. If you must swallow a pill in public, hide it under your tongue after entering your mouth, pretend you have swallowed it, and spit it out when you are alone.
• Don’t be the kid who cried wolf. If you are caught pretending to be sick, no one will believe you when you actually get sick.
• Be careful not to pretend to have a medical condition that would embarrass others, especially in school. Generally you can choose between fever, cough or nausea. But if you have diarrhea, you may attract malicious ridicule from others.
• Please delete your browsing history after viewing this page. If someone stumbles upon your search history, it's easy to expose the fact that you're malingering.
• Don't get up and wander around when no one is home pretending to be sick. Your parents may have dropped off something, or may just want to check in on you and get back into the house again.
