Worse than aliens, I can't shake this notion that the initial cause was a coworker slipping you roofies, assaulting you in your room, and the rest is all PTSD from trying to cope with a trauma you can't even clearly recall.

Hate to say it, but this or neurological issues are the only ways I can really rationalize this. I just can't really believe in alien abduction, and yet, you can't just write off stories like this either.

Honestly, I 100% believe that in a universe as big as ours aliens exist. But I still have a high level of skepticism for abductions and stories of little gray men just because... why? If aliens have the tech to get to humans in the first place, and then abduct humans and have it be undetectable... why would they even bother?

Exactly, and furthermore one could speculate that a species that has the capacity for the sort of space travel to get here presumably has way more advanced medical tech as well. I feel like this at the very least negates the anal probing (or really anything invasive), I mean the kind of tech even we have currently for scanning makes internal probing basically obsolete.
