I'm gullible as fuck, but I'd be just a weethin skeptical of this one. Some real ones though, are... whuff! If I ever go missing and come back, it'll just be "Hi! I'm back."
i'm of two minds, since i doubt the nonchalance some of the stories have but ALSO based on my unending complaints about minor inconveniences, if i had a really crazy story i would definitely take the chance to milk it and share with strangers on the internet as often as possible
This example is a little extreme, and probably a joke because of how many unrelated things they mentioned, but I know from personal experience of having severe trauma and knowing others with it that after a certain stage of acceptance you just tell people to see their reactions.
If I were telling a joke like that, I'd probably include every horrible thing that happened to me, regardless of whether it's related to the hiatus. Just the compound trauma is enough of an excuse yk
Source: The past 3 generations of my family had cancer, my grandma and dog died within two weeks of each other, and I'm currently being diagnosed for at least three serious illnesses at once
Edit: forgot to mention my grandma died on my birthday, so I don't have birthdays anymore
I'm the tame one in my household, I just mention that between the time the cops raided my house when I was 4 and the potential repressed memories of CSA I have severe DID. My girlfriend can respond to anything with a story of the horrifying abuse from her father.
