Attention-seeking aunt fakes chronic illness, called out in front of family by niece that actually suffers from it: "I pointed out everything she said that proved she was lying."

We've all faked being sick before – at least I have as a kid. As you can all imagine, I did it in middle school in order to get out of an exam that I didn't study for. I spent all night looking up tips and tricks to figure out the best way to fool my parents. I woke up super early, exercised in my room until I was red-faced and sweaty and tried different methods of getting my thermometer to read over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. When I succeeded, I took a picture of it to show my parents. However, when I went downstairs to tell them I was feeling under the weather, they just took my word for it and rushed out the door without asking for any proof.

In our story today, a woman goes to great lengths to convince her family that she is ill. She doesn't do it to get out of any exam or event, though; she does it for the sheer attention of it. However, our protagonist, someone who actually suffers from the very illness she is pretending to have, gets fed up with the blatant lies and calls her out publically. Get the juicy deets down below!

AITA for calling out my aunt for lying about having a condition that I actually struggle with?

The hubris of this woman to attempt to go into depth about her struggles in front of the very person she “stole” her illness from is wild.

Why can't attention-seekers seek attention by being really nice and cool and helpful instead of these sort of shenanigans?
