This is Munchausen's syndrome in action.
We should never lose sight of the fact that Munchausen's is nothing but an offshoot of sociopathy.

About Me
- John Craig
- Virtually everyone who knows John finds him completely tactless and insufferably opinionated. He sees himself as refreshingly honest. That said, this blog is still an excellent way to kill time while putting off work. If you're a newcomer, you might find browsing through the older posts an amusing waste of time as well. John is the author of "Holy Bible Part II: Heaven" under the pseudonym John Morgan.

Or possibly of Cluster B personality disorders in general? I can imagine someone histrionic doing something like that.

To put yourself through such unnecessary physical pain, like wow.

Gethin --
I've only known a few histrionics, and honestly, I can't imagine them doing this. Then again, I've known more than a few sociopaths, and I can't imagine them doing it either. I think it takes a special kind of sociopath to do this, the kind which the textbooks used to refer to as "affect-hungry," meaning, they have an unquenchable thirst for affection, and will do anything to get it.
When I think of famous people who are histrionics, I think of Jim Carrey or Robin Williams. Or I think of the Kardashians, or various other types who are "famous for being famous." And most of them wouldn't do this either.
I've never known anyone with Munchausen's personally, but when you think about the "disease," it's all about sociopathy: dishonesty in the service of being able to bask in others' affection and sympathy (and possibly even admiration). To me, it's first cousin to those people who claim to be Special Forces when they're not, or CIA when they're not.

"Wow" is right.
