I am no expert, but my guess is that people like Mr. Wannabe Rear Admiral have a similar condition to this, despite not being health-related.

When I was at a religious summer camp (sleep over) one of the kids who had attended multiple years in a row told everyone his mom had cancer and didn’t have much time left. Everyone was understandably sympathetic and people were referencing her specifically in group prayers and things like that. The camp director reached out to the family and they were like “what? No, she’s fine.”

Kids are weird and everyone knows the one who always made stuff up for the attention.
This guy is a 65 year old retired teacher.

Yeah. Adults are held to a higher standard than children. But in practice many adults aren’t that much different from children.
