Community Munchausen's by Internet (Malingerers, Munchies, Spoonies, etc) - Feigning Illnesses for Attention

I don't really get the paw thing, though... Does he think that those are paws now? Or even look like paws?

Furries are weird, who knows. I just thought it was funny that he looks so miserable in the photos where he realises he had to get his hands chopped off and afterwards. Metokur featured him in his latest furry video.

Meh, a man already used the same dry ice method for his leg:

Man freezes off 'hated' leg

An Australian father-of-three who had "hated" his right leg for 25 years has told how he plunged it in a bucket of dry ice for six hours.

Or you could just bash it with a rock, I guess:

I thought that myself.

I guarantee the time will come when he wonders why he didn't just stick to dragging his arse along the floor.

He hasn't even got anything to defend himself with now when he gets a smack with a rolled up paper for sniffing random crotches.

And I was called a munchie during the part that mentioned me. My personal, other accounts were already mentioned here as I said, along with I believe my full name, which was never on any of my accounts except Facebook, so someone had to have dug in order to have found it. I think unless someone makes their personal other accounts known that it shouldn’t be shared on a site like this. Just saying my opinion again.

And what if it was someone in your private life who shared the information?

That happens as well. An acquaintance/friend observes suspicious behaviour regulary, puts two and two togheter, feels hurt and scammed and posts/forwards the information so others are aware. Would that be "kiwifarms's fault"?

... And where does personal responsibility begin with situations like these?

It's not like somebody hacked you - they just gathered the information you publicly posted.
Nobody is stalking you either - somebody just shared posts you deemed were fit for the world to see on social media.
(And if it was a "private, friend-only account", check above point.)

That doesn't harm your privacy - It's public information.

Other than that, I like how easy it is to find the information here just by putting a name in a search engine.

Munchies want attention, engagement and sometimes more (be it material or emotional "support") and the people willing to give them that are good, honest maybe a bit naive or actually sick themselves.
Munchies milk resources others need all the time (hospitals, gofundme, etc) , manipulation and soul sucking is nothing for them, they are attention junkies and are ready to die or kill to get their fix.

Having a list of people labled as such combined with logical reasons for reaching that opinion and all the accompanying evidence around it in one place is a good thing. That way everybody having second thoughts about a certain person could check and have it in mind. At the end It's their choice what to decide based on threads like this but people have a right to know where their money/care/emotional support is going.

And most Munchies are dramatic, (bad) liars who sabotage their lifes while having the most vile and entitled personalities... That's an entertaining trainwreck to follow. As well as analyzing their mental disorder. For example, when and where did the mental illness begin and their morals end...

And I'm sure you would ask, so:

We ourselves have no need to falsley lable someone as a Munchie - if we wanted to laugh about someone who happens to have a disability/illness, we would. If someone is making an ass of themselves on the Internet we wouldn't need any excuse about their disability or illness to do it. Neither would we target someone just for being ill or disabled, being an ass is the biggest factor.
You could even research the forum's history on that.

Anyways, wouldn't it be more logical to have the legs cut off so the length matches the arms? And try walking on all fours?
That' s more of a "dog thing" than having lumps for "front legs"...

I know it was no one in my personal life because the person who posted about me mentioned how they found me and because no one in my personal life knew about the account at the time. My account also was public at the time but I changed that.

I’ve had testing for my condition twice and both times were positive test results for my condition, so again, definitely not a munchie. I also have medical records from the testing. But it was because of reading the comments on here that I started to believe maybe I was making the symptoms up and thought the second testing would be normal. But if it had been I would have let things go. Again though, I understand no one can make me feel anything, it was just my interpretation that led me to feeling that way. I’ve had a long journey, as I suppose everyone has. My thoughts though is that you claim you know when someone is faking it but you can’t always know that based on posts online.

I’ve never asked for money for my condition and never will. But like any human being I do need emotional support, although I wasn’t accepting it until recently even though people were offering it.

I will probably stop posting soon as I just wanted to know why.

Imagine being HuskyMischief and one night while asleep in bed you start hearing tapping and dragging...

*Tap-tap*

*Shuffle-shuffle*

You jolt wide awake with fear - there must be an intruder!
You turn around to wake up your newly-handicapped, armless fiance... But he isn't there.

The shuffling enters through the open door in the dark bedroom while your heart races with fear... You keep thinking about your defensless fiance who has no arms - you need to be a man, you need to protect him from now on... You need to do something, now.

The dragging mass is almost near you.. And then it tries to make a sound. Your heartbeat is pounding in your chest, you can't hear anything, sweat drips from your forehead...

The black mass drags itself closer - you realize It's covered in what looks like blood, shit and vomit. The stench hits you.

The... Thing, it opens It's maw as if to speak...

Instead it shrieks, "Baw! BAW! I'm a real dog now... I became a real DOG for you... Am I not the bestest doggo?"

You start weeping as you see your fiance's missing legs.

The question that remains to this day is...

Who was phone?

I don’t think it’s ridiculous to try and reach out for support by making a whole separate account, but that is just my opinion. And I was called a munchie during the part that mentioned me. My personal, other accounts were already mentioned here as I said, along with I believe my full name, which was never on any of my accounts except Facebook, so someone had to have dug in order to have found it. I think unless someone makes their personal other accounts known that it shouldn’t be shared on a site like this. Just saying my opinion again.

I’m allowed to express my opinion so I don’t have to shut up. I also know it would be stupid to mention my account here again since it’s now private and has not been mentioned in a while, I just found all of this recently. I also don’t think it is relevant to me asking why.

You’re obviously in this thread thanks to making a fool of yourself and indulging in absurd dramatics and munchie level narcissism online.

There are millions of people with illnesses who get support online and don’t like act like ridiculous twits and they don’t end up in this thread. Most people with chronic illnesses don’t wallow in them online nor define their identities by medical conditions - only munchies get off on that shit.

The people this thread profiles are so desperate for attention they make their lives an entire side show of pity grubbing and trying to look sick in selfies, not to mention wasting the time of doctors and nurses.

We are simply giving you what you so desperately want - attention. The problem is we are also giving honesty with it. Don’t fool yourself though, probably half of the “support” you get online is from factious people who think you are full of shit but like watching the absurd stupidity of it all.

My only advice to you is to find something to do with you life that doesn’t involve other people needing to give you “support” and attention. Try to look outside yourself for once.

I actually do have other things in my life besides needing support. Again, you don’t really know my life. I live a mostly normal life.

BIID is fucking creepy as shit on its own, why did furries have to pick it up and make a mega freak show out of it?

I swear, BIID is it’s own circle of hell crazy. The scary kind of crazy that would usually end in prison if they hadn’t cut off their fucking limbs.

 

[Daughter of Cernunnos]

Lol at SOS talking about the homeless and trying to fake sympathy for one sentence.

That KickingGeese person who reacts to all of ALR's videos has MS and when she was in the hospital a few months ago she was documenting her solu-medrol binges on social media. I don't find her particularly entertaining but I thought that was pretty funny. Of course, like a good lolcow, she later tied it into her woo-woo Starch Solution diet that promises to help people "beat MS" and she admits she doesn't take her medication regularly, and vapes, and doesn't do her PT... And yet harps on fatties for taking their health for granted.

If this is the same Youtuber I'm thinking of, she used to be obese and quite a successful Youtuber called jp metz. She's been on many fad woo woo diets in her life. Do you really think jp metz is a full blown cow? I'm pretty sure I'm thinking of the same person because jpmetz also had a second channel called Kicking Geese and had MS.

 

[MirnaMinkoff]

I actually do have other things in my life besides needing support. Again, you don’t really know my life. I live a mostly normal life.

Then why do you feel the need to dramatize illness for attention and pity online to such an extent thousand of people are laughing at your antics? People with “normal” lives don’t waste their time with such theatrics. Nor do they do selfies to show how sick they are.

What you have shared it obv worthy of mockery and derision, nor is it redeemable by other “normal” behavior. It’s like saying a serial killer had lots of good qualities besides the “murdering others” part of their life. You’re a nasty husk of a human abusing the wonderful quality of compassion for narcissistic ego gratification.

Then again if you end up in this thread the only ppl in your crazy choir are other gross munchies egging each other on in the pity Olympics. One grim day, if you don’t munch your way to an early grave, you will be old and sick and realize how twisted it was to waste the best years of your life playing sick.

All Munchies have empty lives, mistaking attention and sympathy for love or human connection. Playing sick gives a poor substitute for human interaction and affection. But munchies can’t tolerate two way relationships, munching gives them away to demand one way relationship but usually brief ones because no sane person outside family will tolerate that BS. So munchies are left jonesing for likes and meaningless asspats online.

Instead of coming her to defend your pathetic behavior maybe attempt to understand why it’s awful and people are rightfully mocking you for it.

I'm so confused by this chick.

Sounds like she's tired of everyone catching her in her lies? Then stop telling them? At this point I think there's two things going on

She had an NG and knew she was getting a G from the get go and wanted extra attention points for 'hur hur! look at my even extra special tube but wait they fucked it up! Gonna sue!'

Or she's dumber than a box of rocks and legitimately only heard what she wants to hear. Or doesn't understand when the doctors speak to her. And if she's this dumb should she be in charge of raising spawn?

 

[Nobody Loves Milhouse]

I actually do have other things in my life besides needing support. Again, you don’t really know my life. I live a mostly normal life.

Then why do you care if you're mentioned here? If your illness is legit, and you don't think you're being OTT or weird about it, then nothing that was said here should bother you. The fact that you decided to make an account to 'defend' yourself, is pretty telling.

Anyone who posts hospital selfies, pics of their devices, or complains about their pain via social media posts, is an attention seeker. Normal people with healthy self esteem don't post that shit, nor do they make speshul accounts to chronicle their speshul illness story.

Okay this is getting old. I have no idea who you are so I can’t answer specifically why you were mentioned or discussed. But this is a gossip site/message board, plain and simple. People discussed here aren’t always faking- maybe they’re annoying AF, obsessed with attention and spreading piss poor medical information or a myriad of other things. Beyond that I really don’t know how to help you. I think people are actually being quite gracious in their replies but that patience is going to run out fast. I suggest moving on.

It's funny because as she is spinning this web, she is now constantly deleting story posts as she goes along. Even pointless ones about how she can't sleep for the billionth time.

She played the scared little waif card last night. She got a consultation with ir about her tube, I'm guessing threatened with lawyers and got them to change the tube out for a gj. But now is terrified because the same guy is doing the procedure? The one she just threatened to sue? Yep I'd be scared too. Idk why she couldn't request a different surgeon. Also funny that she complained about local numbing when she has spent weeks complaining about how dangerous it is for her to go under anestesthia. She continues to go back and forth talking tough about lawyers and then saying she would be too scared to get them involved. My guess is she doesn't have a case to involve them in but since her followers suggest them she has to touch on this.



She has been only surviving off saline (she also got lactate ringers which is a step between saline and tpn, has dextrose, sodium, and potassium), Zofran and morphine which sounds so purely awful that they are actually helping her pain. I don't think she understands how rare it is to actually get morphine unless you're dying because of the respriratory suppression. Posts the entire woe is me saga:
-I am regretting marriage and kids
-everything that happens to me is totes real and scary even though I could have gone home weeks ago and continued trying to eat on my own.
(when she mentions her roommate with gp and how they are so alike... I doubt it. Your roommate is probably doing everything to not have a tube
Out of every GP patient I have seen, not one has a tube in real life. They come in for flares, get iv Zofran and Phenergan, get patched up and sent home and they eat just like everyone else)
-talks about her two year Olds headaches which could be chiari flares or a two year old still cutting molars, and knowing she will get mommy's attention and breast juice if she screams loud enough for the consoling. She's at the age kids will act out especially if they don't feel like they're getting enough attention. And for being a child that would be so clumsy, she doesn't have many cuts or scrapes or bruises.
(I find it funny that she goes for two years being literally fine, her kids are both fine, nothing is bad, then she just takes Lilly into the doctor and a huuuuuuge spiral follows, now everyone is chronically ill, except the army husband, and they are all getting really bad fast)
-not to mention allergic reactions to socks and having to pee on a "special toilet" (here Helena let me help you out. It's called a bedside commode)
-4-5 days without a real feed sounds exaggerated. They would only need to stop feeds the night before surgery and tried to resume after but could only do five minutes. Or is she counting that she has to be npo or nothing by belly until they do the next surgery that she begged for. And if she wasn't tolerating feeds before getting her tube it would have made zero sense for them to give her a tube before sorting out that problem. They don't like sending weak, unnouroshed patients into surgery if at all possible, it's bad practice.

I don't know why but the sooper speshul toilet (a commode) is probably the most amusing part of this. There's nothing that out of the ordinary about a patient using a commode.

It's like ren bragging about getting subcut blood thinners; something most hospitals automatically prescribe for inpatients unless contraindicated.

It's hard for me to feel bad for her when she calls it a special toilet like she's the only one using it. While the opposite is true. Most people use commodes in the hospital setting. It's almost as common as heparin shots and compression stockings.

 

[Kate Farms Shill]

I will probably stop posting soon as I just wanted to know why.

We've given you the vague blanket statements like "you wanted attention" and "you built an identity around your illness."

Unless you're going to say who you are we can't give specifics as to why you, personally, were posted here.

But just so you know one of my neighbors has extremely aggressive cancer, has a port, stuck in the hospital most of her time these days and has never once posted about it on social media. I'm not saying she just goes about her life as normal and doesn't talk about it at all. People know and we come over and help her how we can, give her rides to her chemo appointments or bring her food, take her sons to school, maybe just sit and have a cup of tea like everything is normal and let her pretend the word "cancer" never touched her life for a few hours. Whatever we can to make her life a little easier when she's going through something that could actually end her life for no fault of her own. She has every right to be angry (and she is) and upset (that too) and she doesn't keep it to her own little self.

Now here's the thing: we don't get sick of her talking about the fact that she has cancer, complaining about her chemo, whatever, because she's not obnoxiously attention-seeking about it. And she's not making a whole other Instagram to talk about her cancer journey, not asking millions of strangers on social media to "pay attention to me now!" by posting a bunch of dramatic photos of her chemo treatments and videos showing how she accesses her port.

If she did that shit, i would quickly lose all my support for her because it would make it seem like she was enjoying her illness and m.ilking it for attention which is in extremely poor taste, even though it's 100% real.

The people who saw your public social media saw someone whose entire life was carefully curated snippets meant to show off how sick she was, to the exclusion of all other traits, and since they didn't know about your apparently totally illness-free normal accounts, how were they to know any different? Whoever posted about it here either suspected you were bullshitting or rightfully called you out on how ridiculous it was to curate an entirely different persona around Sick You. And since the only place that your real name was posted was your facebook, clearly they found that too, and were able to compare Sick You to Real You and still come to the conclusion that you were full of shit.

Btw we also document how easy it is to fudge medical tests, get unscrupulous doctors to test you with non-standard methods, induce a real illness, or have just vague enough results on a test through your own fuckery that you end up with an instagrammable diagnosis of a disease you don't actually have. If there weren't all these ways to get what you want, there wouldn't be a bunch of Jaquie clones walking around with their totes real EDS/POTS/GP/MCAS diagnoses and all the bells and whistles they bring if you play your munchie cards right.
