So when your not feeling well do you like to be by yourself or do you like the attention you get?LOL Attention what is that? LOL I get about five minutes from my hubby. I like to be by myself till I feel human again. Do you like attention when your sick? Do share.

Hi sweetie! When I am sick I want to be left alone! I am too grumpy and grouchy for company, I don't want sympathy or anything, just let me be! I just stay in bed with Toby, Toby is the only one I need and he doesn't answer back or nag, just keeps me warm. I am too independent even when sick. I hate being fussed over, I prefer to hide away.

I would like to have attention, but where can I can that?? So not only do I not get attention, but unless I am dying, I am still working away cleaning and cooking..

dying as in something coming out both ends and bad muscle aches and not able to walk far... If I don't have these symptoms, then I still work around the house..

When I am sick I like to be left alone, to get over whatever it is I have, and I don't like to be fussed over. However, I like knowing that my hubby is there if I do need him!

Attention?? what's that? Just kidding, actually I seem to get sick when I would be home alone anyway, cause he's at work. However, he does call at least a couple of times during the day to see how I am feeling. There was one time that that really bugged me lol, I had been stung by ground wasps ( well over 100 times) while I was at work. I managed to drive myself home (45 min drive) which normally isn't a long drive but was that day, my arms were in pain. Well I called him on the way home and told him what happened, after I got home, he called me every 5 minutes, to check and make sure I was not going into anaphylactic shock......and I quote 'I've never had the chance to check on someone for this, so just putting my training into effect' geeee thanks, I'm fine, stop calling, I took benydryl and just wanted to sleep! lol

I really don't like attention when I am sick. Would rather be here alone and just sleep it off. I do ask my husband to bring home dinner or order a pizza if I am sick with a cold or something he may catch. I just veg in another bedroom and keep away from him until I'm better. I can relate to about 5 minutes worth of attention...lol

When I am sick, yes I do need attention, but limited attention. I love others to make me good cup of tea, but let me sleep when I need... HUGS

Terry, I have always preferred to be alone with my misery, but that is not to say that it is nice to be checked on one in awhile and asked if you need something. I just do not like to talk if I am not feeling well. But you know if you have kids grand kids or a spouse this is next to impossible.

When I am sick and not feeling well I want people to leave me alone. My mom is the same way. My son and my dad though want to be babied. My son like to try and be really nice to me when I am sick because he likes it, but I just want him to go away.

Well I like someone to be close enough to come quickly if I need them or want a drink or heat up my heat packs but the rest of the time I like to be left in peace! Very selfish when I am sick, aren't I ? xxx

Well I live alone anyway now so if I want to sulk and be miserable can do it in the privacy of my place....LOL..actually I prefer to keep active even when I do feel lousy...if I just sit like a mope I tend to feel sorry for myself and make myself feel worse. One thing that is keeping me quite busy is my spring cleaning thing and am doing that even when I don't feel that great. I guess my need to be active when sick is from years and years of not being allowed to be sick...Really. When my mother was alive she actually got annoyed at me if I dared to be sick or injured like I wasn't supposed to. My mother on the other hand relished being sick...a real drama queen who wanted attention even if she got a hang nail...sheesh

I like to get attention when I am sick. I am a BIG baby! I remember once I was in my first year of college. I woke up in the middle of the night throwing up. I took a shower, went to the local ER to get some medicine, and then I went straight to my mommy where she could take care of me!!! I did not want to be alone. I wanted my mommy. and I am STILL that way.

No, I want to be left alone when I am sick. Especially if I have a headache, which I always seem to get when I am under the weather. I don't want pitty or someone to wait on me, I just want to sleep and be left alone. So when I am sick my husband doesn't bother me, or used to leave me alone, as we are no longer living together. When he was sick he wanted to be waited on hand and foot and I used to do it, get him everything he wanted, but no more.

Certainly.Everyone wish to be taken care of by others. When I fall in ill,I would miss my father & mother very much. That time ,I always want to go home as soon as quickly. So,we should pay more attantion to the ills around us.
