Friend off mine is driving me crazy

[Shanto94]

Hey every1.
I have a "friend" (he will be refered to as friend, but he isnt. Its cuz I wont name his name that he will be refered to as that).
So, that friend off mine is driving my crazy, he cant tell the truth.

He says he killed LK25 HC without the buff, until I told him that paragon which was world first did it with the 5% buff, then he was like "yes, ofcourse, I mean without it being at 30% we did it at 10%". While he still havent killed a single heroic boss from cata content, he cant handle tacts on ragnaros, alysrazor, staghelm, baleroc (thosse were the fights I saw him play, all off this was on normal, and ragnaros was constant wipes).
He is saying he play at 2.6k rating, while when I saw him playing I wondered of he were even at 1k (like really, he threw cyclone at already cycloned people, didnt LoS MB, or even notice it, stunning cycloned people, rooting healer that was right by a pillar, still able to heal trough the entire root, and his oppoents were also bad. I check his armory and he havent even been to 1.6k
He had 127k Mana unbuffed (note *all talents, gems, enchants are placed to give him a huge mana pool instead off effective healing) and because off that, a GM had told him (obviously not true either) that he was in hall of fame, something only people that is super good know about, and he was the best druid on the realm. There is atleast 13 10man guilds and 5 25 man guilds that have better progress than him, and whats the chance that none of them have a druid that can carry their own weight? He is definetly not the best druid on his realm, and if you read rules its stated that GMs arent allowed to wisp you ingame if you dont have an open ticket.

Now, I have known this guy since school start (22nd august) and this is maybe 10% off the lies he have served me til now. His personality is anoying, and he wont give me 2 seconds off peace (I had to do some serious dodging to not be with him right now).

And considering he goes in my class, I dont want to make him hate me (because that could end up really not-cool, I live in a completely new place and dont need to make myself a dick to every1 I currently know, and it could also have consequences at group tasks if I get placed with him).
So mainly, how do I handle a situation like this?
Someone that just CANT tell the god damn truth, not even one minute without a new lie running out off that mouth.
And he is also in general anoying, its not just his lies (though they are pissing me off, cuz I cant take a houndred lies a day).

Stop talking to him. Why would you waste your time with somebody who keeps annoying you ?

I had a friend like that once, but other than the compulsive lying he wasn't actually all that annoying, so a lot easier to get along with. I actually lied to him about believing most of his shit for a very long time, because he started out as a nice guy and I liked seeing him happy that someone was buying his made-up-life. Eventually he did become a nuisance, and I simply broke off contact step by step until we only hear each other's voices once or twice an year. As for your class and the fact that you're new there, simple really, a person like this is bound to annoy a lot of people, you just need to 'put out some feelers' and find out how many of the people in that place actually tolerate or listen to him. Compulsive liars have a bad habit of taking their bullshit everywhere they go, and if they're too flamboyant with it, people will notice and avoid them. If this is the case in the class you're both in, and people do not like him or even tolerate him, you have nothing to worry about, what's the worst he could do? Lie to people about you? If people see him for what he is, it'll be quite obvious he's merely lying again. So just hang in there for a while, test the water, then just break off contact.

I have a friend like that ... I simply ignore his lies and when he tells a big one I just slap him in the face with the truth , once you do that a couple of times he won't bug you with obvious lies ... he will use small lies .

[Selkhet]

Guy seems desperate for attention. He needs so badly to be liked that he's willing to make up shit to make him look good. He's bullshitting about WoW because you play WoW. I'm pretty sure that if you were a soccer fan, he'd tell you about how he scored a goal while kicking from the other side of the field, after dribbling four guys like a ninja.

Just shake your head and smile when he starts his bullshit stream. What he wants is an audience, and if you don't give it to him, he'll look for somebody else.

I had a friend once who let me look at a storybook he created. A month later I saw the same story in a store pretty much word for word.
I didn't have the nerve to say anything to him but I lost a lot of respect for him.

In your case it really depends on if outside of the lying you like him enough to be friends with him or not. If so I would have a heart to heart telling him the lying has to stop. If not avoid him or tell him straight up you no longer want be friends due to the lying.

[Toho]

whenever he says his BS just tell something along the lines of "Cool Story Bro" whatever he says you say thats awesome and every chance you get try to dodge his invitations to hang out, sooner or later he would lose interest or take a hint.

edit: and also why would you care if he says he is awesome in wow? i wouldn't really care if he said he was the best player in the frigging game. this post could have been much more smaller if you just skipped the details of how badly he lies about his WoW stats, it seems to me thats what bother you more than his personality.

Man , please try to write down a sentence in a proper way so that we can understand some shit without our eyes bleeding.

[StayTuned]

why the fuck do you guys hang around with people you most obviously don't even like... ??

[P4R45171K]

I got people like that, call those bitches out an watch em fumble with information they only got from the internet.

[MAGAmobile]

The one upping liar. They're a fun bunch, but it's best to just nod and accept what they say even if they are lying, or just leave.

[grandpab]

I've met people like this, I don't understand how someone can fabricate their entire life based on lies like that. I honestly think most of the time they think they're actually telling the truth.

[Hanto]

Are you by chance a lady and your friend is a guy? Sounds like some desperate teen trying to show off for attention.

[Shanto94]

Because Im nice and dont like to say to someone 12 days after I met them "GTFO, you are stupid", and I prefer to not look bad infront of the few other people I have met but dont know yet.

Part of MMO-Champions rules:
Only post in English. As English is not everyone's native language, we ask you to not correct other people's posts unless you are asked to. Do not quote dictionary entries for the sake of arguing. Don't be the grammar police.

Also, I guess I will take the advice off the people here, wait a week or two, test the water then see how the rest off the class like him.

[Pappahealar]

Tell him to stop lying. He will stop it. Just tell you that you know that he is clearly lying and he doesn't need to prove anything to you.

Basically this person is very uncertain of himself. He believes that you won't appreciate him unless he has done some of those spectacular achievements to gain your respect. If you just tell him that you know that he lies and that it is ok that he hasn't killed LK 25 HC. You don't think he is bad because he hasn't.

I promise, he will at least lie a lot less if you just grab him by the balls and tell him how it is.

[Blackeyecycle]

Link him Hogger. Tell em you did it without a single buff, with a group of 5.

Impressed, he will be.

You barely know this kid and he is a blatant liar already. If anytime, now is the time to boot his ass to the curb. Kick rocks boy.

My advice, whenever you decide that ANY friend is worth complaining about, abandon them asap. It will only get worse as time goes on and eventually you will say something really mean to them or you will get into a fight, etc. Just let him go.

[-Zait-]

If he annoys you, you shouldn't even talk/hang around him. Friends are meant to be people you hang out with and have fun with...not want to bash your head into a wall whenever you get within 20 feet of them.

People like this have a habit of finding you when you don't want to be found

"Dude, people will like you if you don't make things up for everything, you don't have to exaggerate to draw attention to yourself, you're a likeable guy but this shit has to stop."

Edit, just reread and found this:

His personality is anoying

Call him on things, not by saying "you're lying" but something like "that is physically impossible"
