They should mind their own business and stop pretending to be asleep.

Man... Locked-in syndrome scares the shit out of me...

Yeah it sounds like being buried alive.

At least with that you will die in a few hours/days. With this you might be imprisoned in a hospital bed for years

Wouldn't it be obvious if you were conscious though? Your heart rate would be through the roof. I'm not a doctor but I'm assuming coma patients don't normally display massive increases in blood pressure and heart rate? Maybe they do. Idk.

what's that?

It is a condition where you are completely paralized and you can only observe things as they happen. No control of almost any muscles so no way to communicate with the outside world.
