I always fantasise about bad things happening to me and the resulting sympathy i get. I do it without thinking and don't mean to. Ive always been reasonably popular and have a solid family and plenty of freinds, so why am i like this? Is there and official name for it?

Why medicalise it. Nothing you have said sounds like a mental illness or a personality disorder. Of course noone can diagnose over the internet but I think these are very common thoughts that lots of people get. Don't worry about it

If you are popular and find it easy to communicate with people ask a friend or better still friends. I expect a broad spectrum of opinion will tell you that you are quite normal, like others on this page I think you are trying to access some of your more primitive coping skills, with a little mental role play.
Good luck I hope nothing bad happens to you and as Christmas approaches you never know your luck.

Sounds like OCD - obsessive compulsive disorder. But best to contact a doctor who can give you a proper diagnosis. You have only given a brief description of your life and the symptoms you are experiencing so it would be difficult for someone on here to give a definate answer.

You are absolutely normal. It is your body's way of checking that you are still watching out for dangerous things happening to you. A good example is when you are standing next to a train platform or on a bridge you will get a sensation like "wonder what it would feel like to fall down there", then you take a step back and shiver. It is just human nature there to protect you.

Sounds like you are a bit ego-centric. Nothing to worry about unless you start acting out self abuse fantasies or lying to get sympathy. Then you are on the way to #hitsville

Sounds like you have a symptom of borderline personality disorder. Type in DSMV1 and it will give you a list of all the other symptoms that psychiatrists use to make this diagnosis. If you don't have any of the other symptoms I wouldn't worry about it, everybody needs a little attention now and then. Maybe you don't feel that you get enough so you are using your mind to imagine what it might be like.

The only person that can give you a diagnosis is a professional that has insight to all different types of info.
A counselor, MD, etc.
Good luck

Sounds like you enjoy attention and maybe right now, you are not getting as much 'nurturing' as you would like. Let those close to you, such as a partner know that you need more looking after.
BUT make sure you look after them too!

paranoia quickly comes to mind. But to be honest, I hate mental health labels. They are meaningless. You have a problem of dwelling on things too much. Do not be too insecure
