Honestly for me, even if it is real, being in your mid-30s seems so beyond the pale of this behavior being acceptable. There's someone similar in my flight, who is in their late 30s and acts just unbelievably emotionally immature and absurd. I understand a difficult childhood makes life harder when you get older and it affects you endlessly, I can even sympathize with that, but at a certain point it is on you to take accountability for yourself, how you respond to things, how you treat others, etc. and people like AC and the person in my flight are just not willing to do it.
Someone else is always the problem, it's never their fault, their reactions are always justified, they're hypocritical but don't you dare call them out on it, etc. It's just so exhausting to be around.
If they are truly as sick as they claim and truly in such a bad way, I wish them nothing but the best and I hope their circumstances improve, but it does come to mind that they've been saying for the last year they'd be dead in 2 months and it all becomes a bit hard to believe. I truly hope they're just a hypochondriac and they find a way to a better life where they don't feel so put upon all the time.
Considering in one section they claim to be dying of cancer and then in a different spot say it's 'pre-cancerous cysts' instead I don't believe a word of what comes out of their mouth. Like this just reads like that horrible Skagra person who was scamming up and down tumblr for years - she used a lot of the same hyper aggressive, violently charged language when arguing with people and, like this person, always seemed to have plenty of energy for fighting with others despite having none to put toward bettering her situation.
Also, for those not in the know: all cysts are potentially pre-cancerous. If you are discovered to have cysts, your doctor will tell you that they need to be checked on periodically. So what probably happened here if I give a generous interpretation and say they haven't made this up whole cloth is that AC was told they have cysts which could become cancerous in the future and they should follow up with their GP for regular screenings. Benign cysts affect nearly 20% of the population but doctors will always advise people to keep an eye out.
