I found out second hand.
I had a close friend, Mark, from high school. I went above and beyond for this guy, even talked to the cops when he crashed his car, was always there. Then, one day, a mutual friend called me up and said "Mark was trashing you in front of everyone last night! He was going on and on about how you tell everyone how much your stuff costs and how great it is!" ALL lies. My jaw hung open. I had zero reason to doubt our mutual friend. I asked him if he was sure, absolutely sure and he said yes.
It stung for a while, then I just pulled back, didn't confront him, didn't do, well, anything with him for decades. Still won't now, though I'm FB friends with him. If anything, HE is the one with his head up his own ass. He's the guy who posts 42 pictures of him going to Applebees. Lives his own life beyond his means.....to impress everyone. It's really sad. It's mental illness.
