What is malingering? and how do you know if it affects you?
Answer:
What else would complaining about imaginary troubles be called?
Malingering is best described as type of dissimulation. Dissimulation is a general term that is used to describe a person who is deliberately distorting or misrepresenting psychological symptoms in the context of an evaluation. There are several different types of response styles that fall under the general dissimulation including malingering, defensiveness, irrelevant responding, and random responding.
Malingering is pretending to be sick to get out of work. It doesn't affect me because I am self-employed so I have no reason to do that. If I don't want to work, I give myself the day off.
always pretending something is wrong or something hurts. It's a sickness. It does not affect me ,but I hate people for doing it. It borders on laziness.
In slang, it is called Gold Bricking. It means you make up an illness to get out of responsibilities. You should know if you do this or not. When you get out of whatever the job is, do you suddenly feel better? Push yourself to work or school. It's perfectly all right to push yourself. People do it everyday.
