Did you forget to review for the exam? Did you plan to attend an event but want to quit now? Or are you in a role that needs to faint? Whether it's for fun or to get out of a tough situation, the following tips will help you fake faint as it looks.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Learn to imitate a real fit

1. 

   Learn about the cause of fainting. Fainting is a fairly common phenomenon. It can be harmless or life-threatening. If you're assuming fainting, it's best to learn about the relatively non-dangerous reasons that caused a person to faint. Syncope is caused by a decrease in blood circulation to the brain.
   • Harmless fainting can be caused by low blood pressure or a reflex of the nervous system that reduces blood circulation to the brain. The nervous system's reflex activity can be the result of a stressful or emotional event, or a feeling of fear or pain.
   • For teenagers, faking is the perfect excuse to avoid an event or exam, as there are not uncommon cases of true, but harmless, fainting at this age. Adults may also experience one or two harmless faints in a year; But if more severe fainting attacks occur, it could be a sign of a serious, life-threatening condition.

2. 

   
   
   Learn about symptoms of fainting. A person who faints can have many symptoms that can lead to loss of consciousness, including hot flashes, nausea, lightheadedness or confusion, and rapid breathing. Patients may experience dizziness or weakness, ringing in the ears or temporary hearing loss. These symptoms usually occur in people with non-dangerous syncope.

3. 

   
   
   Identify why you need to pretend to faint. Unless you're feigning faint to act, you'll have to come up with an explanation so people don't have to call an ambulance and you're still successful in this harmless, dramatic performance. Since low blood pressure and poor blood circulation to the brain are often the cause of harmless fainting attacks, there are many situations that lead to this type of syncope.
   • Not eating breakfast or meals spaced for too long can cause low blood pressure. Not drinking enough water can also cause dehydration and reduce blood circulation to the brain.
   • If you happen to be outdoors or in an overly stuffy room, you may complain that you are feeling hot. Pretend you're going through a very stressful or emotional event. If you are often afraid of bugs or loud noises, you can also pretend that you are so scared that you gasp, then pass out.
   • If you invite someone to join your plan of feigning fainting, ask them to hit or slap you so hard that it makes you faint. The scene is a bit dramatic and could have consequences for the person who helped you, but it should be a good reason for a seemingly non-life-threatening fainting episode.

4. 

   
   
   Sketch a plan to fake fainting. To minimize the reverse effects of false fainting and achieve the desired results, you must plan carefully. The reason you want to faint will determine where to do this. In terms of when you do it, you have a little more control, but you need to be particularly in control of how it's done to avoid hurting yourself or causing undesirable consequences.
   • What event are you trying to avoid? Is it a friend's wedding? A test that you haven't reviewed yet? Or are you going to have to sing in front of a crowd but don't feel confident yet?
   • To minimize the reverse effect, you may want to fake fainting in front of a small number of people. Fainting in front of many people will lead to the risk of someone discovering the fainting faint, in addition to making the incident become unintended and preventing you from ending the performance quickly.
   • You probably also don't want to faint in the middle of an important event that affects others, such as at a friend's wedding, when someone is receiving an award, or in the middle of a test you try to avoid.

5. 

   Know what your fainting looks like. Are you standing or sitting at that time? What symptoms are you most likely to mimic? How will you fall when feigning fainting? How long are you going to pretend to be unconscious? Those are the questions you need to answer.
   • The practice of fake fainting is important. Avoid the situation that you are sure you can do it but when you are performing, you are suddenly afraid of falling and bumping your head, or you cannot help laughing while pretending to gasp. You also need to ensure the fall is as safe as possible to minimize the risk of injury.
   • Know exactly what you're going to do to make the show of fainting in front of everyone go smoothly.

6. 

   Staged for the ending. You should only pretend to lose consciousness for a few seconds, up to 20 seconds. When a person falls to the floor or leans on something that puts his head at a level with the heart, blood flow to the brain is almost immediately restored, making them awake.
   • When pretending to wake up after a moment of unconsciousness, don't just wake up and pretend nothing happened. Sit there for a few minutes, because a person who truly faints will need that long to recover. You need to know this is important.
   • Don't pretend to faint during an event with a limited time and intend to end the performance quickly afterwards. Also be prepared to explain that there is nothing dangerous about your fainting so that you can get up and leave as quickly as possible.

Method 2 of 2: Fainting in the crowd

1. 

   Set the scene for your fainting show. When you are ready for the realistic ecstasy, now is the time to do it. Once in a place where you want to "faint", you need to make sure all conditions must match what you intended.
   • Is the number of people present enough or are they the right people you want? Is the event you want to avoid still going on? Is it too crowded in the room?
   • When you see everything as planned, move to the common area where you want to perform the fainting show. True fainting usually occurs fairly quickly after symptoms appear.
   • Make sure there are no dangerous objects around you that could seriously injure you if you accidentally hit a fall. You also need to make sure not to bump into anyone.

2. 

   Complaint about symptoms of fainting. When you're ready, start showing symptoms before fainting. This step should take a few minutes. If you're going to use the excuse of not eating breakfast, call out ravenous hunger. If the room is crowded and stuffy, you may start to cry out hot. If you are walking, slow down, hold your head for a moment and say you feel dizzy. You can blink or squint. Say you feel nauseous. Pretend sudden energy loss and fatigue. Continue showing the last symptom for about 1-2 minutes.

3. 

   Entering the position will "faint". When you do show symptoms, move discreetly to where it seems safest to fall. If you're going to fall while sitting, pretend you're too tired to stand and sit down. You may say that you are uncomfortable and need to drink water or need to breathe fresh air.
   • You can ask someone to open a window. If you don't have a window and no water, just say you want to sit down or want to go outside to breathe. Sit down for a while and slowly get up. Then staggered a little and fell forward. Before you do this step say something like "I just ..." Remember not to finish the sentence, unless it's a short sentence.

4. 

   Pretend to faint. Make sure to fall safely. Don't let your head hit and hurt yourself. If you are standing, bend your knees and let your knees touch the ground before you try to drop your body. Make sure the action is fast enough but don't act like lightning, otherwise your performance will look very fake.
   • If you are sitting down, relax and imagine you are truly passing out. Fall out of a chair as if you can't sit.
   • Try to land on your back thighs, not with your hips or sacrum. Then quickly release the upper body. Close your eyes and relax all your muscles; you just need to relax.
   • As if I had no bones and fell to the floor like a pile of rags. That would look very real.

5. 

   
   
   Pretend to be unconscious for a few seconds. Lying on the ground. Remember not to stiffen, and if someone tries to lift your arm and shake it, relax completely. When they let go, let your arm fall. This is a common test. An unconscious person cannot control limbs. Someone will come running to see if you are okay and that will lead to the performance you want.
   • Do not lie down for too long or someone will call an ambulance. Unless you want this to happen, remember not to stay still for more than 20 seconds.

6. 

   
   
   Open your eyes and take a deep breath. People who have fainted often wake up and do not remember that they have passed out. Say all you remember is the heat and the dim sight of the lights in the room fade away.

7. 

   Slowly get up and up, or have someone pull you up. After a while you can try to get up and shiver a little so everyone thinks you might faint again and run to help. At this point, if people ask, you can start explaining that your syncope is not in danger.

8. 

   
   
   Create a pretty quick end. Rest for about 10 minutes to pretend you've recovered from your fainting spell. When the time is right, get permission to go home to rest or see the doctor. If someone offers to help bring you home, you can either accept their kindness, or explain that you can safely go home on your own. advertisement

Advice

• When you first open your eyes, don't say it right away. Pretend bewildered for a few seconds, then ask what happened. If you open your eyes and talk right away, it won't be true.
• If you can't really fall, pretend to faint when one or two people are close enough to see you fall, but not too close to realize that you are pretending.
• Try not to smile or laugh when pretending to faint, or you will be exposed.
• You may have to practice first to be able to do the real thing. Find ways to exercise that hurt a lot, such as falling on the carpet or in bed.
• If you decide to fall in front of you, avoid extending your hands so you don't stop yourself. Since this is a reflex, it's best to practice a lot before doing it.
• Try pretending to fall against the wall so that the wall supports you a bit.
• When falling in a void, be sure not to hit anyone or anything, as this could injure you or cause unforeseen consequences.
• Consider letting someone know about your ecstasy. They can help you when you fall to help you avoid the risk of injury.
• Be sure to bend your knees so that they touch the ground before your torso falls.
• Also, remember to close your eyes.
• If you are sitting, try to hold your head and complain that you are a bit dizzy. Continue the performance and suddenly fell first. Hit the table with a loud noise to get more attention.
• You can invite one or two people to the joke - but make sure not to talk to too many people or people you don't trust.

Warning

• Don't fake fainting from time to time or act outrageously; People may think your condition is serious, and they may call an ambulance.
• When you "fall", you remember to move quickly to the empty space to avoid hitting anyone or something, otherwise you may be injured. You must always be careful!
• If you immediately returned to activity before you fainted, you will look suspicious. Sit down between your knees for a while.
• Do not feign fainting to trick the police from arrest. You could be in big trouble.
• Do not breathe too fast unless you want someone to call an ambulance. If you are going to fake it this far, you need to make your heart rate a little different.
• Don't ask "what's the matter?" right after "awake". That looks cliché and fake. However, a few minutes later you can ask and add "do I look weird?" or something like that.
