What are his initials?

Also, if you really want to help him, call him out on his shit. You said he was pretty smart and often gives insight, so just be honest with him.

This person was me. I never accepted myself for who I am. I never accepted the fact that what I am is OK. I also never realized that people knew I was lying so I kept going. It wasn't until I reflected on it one day that I realized something was wrong with me. I didn't lie to hurt anyone. I only lied about little shit to make me seem more eventful and cool because I wanted attention and approval. Call him out on it or understand that his intentions arent malicious and take everything he says with a grain of salt.

I've had friends like this. They're the life of the party, and can be the best of friends... but in the end they're like a double edged sword.

He's probably got some kind of deep issues, and if you call him out on it he's more likely to lash out at you, or recoil away. Tread carefully.

I'm the same way

you pretty much can't fix it but telling him you know he's lying will help

assuming he's like me it's hard for him to distinguish what is true and what isn't sometimes

the first thing that comes to his mind might be a story or it might not and he says it before he has a chance to think about it
