Hello, I'm making this thread to ask your opinion about an old's friend's behavior. It makes me believe that he needs some serious medical attention and he is in a bad psychological shape.

My story begins in 2015 when I started a small internet community based on a program called Team Speak 3, it allows people that play multiplayer games to communicate via voice/microphone. The person joined the team after getting invited by an already existed member of the community called PAUL.

At the beginning, the person was very good, cooperative and sociable and made us believe he is a loyal member of our e-community. The community had around 8 members it was very small and whatever happened everybody would be aware of it.

Around January of 2016, he left for the first time the community with an unknown reason and till August of 2016 we had no information about him. Then he came back, and this is when the strange things started to happen.

Upon his return, he acted normally and happily but after two weeks inside the community, he showed a strange behavior he started telling lies to make us believe he is better than us and that would happen for a long time. He even said lies about things that other community members said like he wanted to destroy the community. At this period we heard him insulting his sister and her friends. One day, he went out with PAUL[the person who invited him] and he repeated the same thing, he started lying about us and insulted us behind our back. Of course, PAUL knew that he was lying. The following evening he logged on his computer and was talking to us normally, laughed etcetera.

Apart from these lies, one strange thing he had was whenever he was angry, he would never show it to anybody. He would log off the Team Speak and delete us from the Facebook. Then the next day he would re-add us and lie that a bad hacker did everything. Why would a hacker delete a specific group of people anyways?

During November of 2016 he came in our Team Speak server and started playing it drunk we laughed because he was acting strange but then we realized he was faking being drunk because he was talking normally and told us he's drunk. Next day he deleted us from Facebook and he left the community because he felt we insulted him while being drunk.

In January 2017 he rejoined the community and at the beginning, he seemed to be alright and we thought he changed to the better. But at the same month, he started telling us fake stories that PAUL is insulting us and he was also 'generating' fake stories from his brain about PAUL things that never existed.

Whenever he said a lie he made himself believe that this lie is the actual reality and he would never say that it was a lie.

Apart from insulting his sister and her friends, telling serious fake stories, believing his own lies, holding his anger to himself there was another problem.

One of the community members called Bill found a new girlfriend and from the beginning, it was like this person hated him for having a girlfriend or he was just jealous that Bill got a girlfriend.

One day he was logged on the Team Speak and at the same time made a fake skype account and acted that he was PAUL. He added Bill's girlfriend and represented himself as being PAUL. He then started insulting Bill's girlfriend and made us believe that PAUL actually did that. He was on the team speak as I said and he was perfectly calm when we asked him if he's doing that he got SO angry that he hit the table that was near him.

We decided to believe that PAUL did all of that and kicked PAUL out of the community till May of 2017 the person hated so much PAUL but out of sudden, he wanted PAUL back.

I talked to PAUL over Facebook and he told me he did nothing, then the person came loudly and said "I am taking full responsibilities of what I did and I'm leaving with my head up"

And now we are here, today.

How in the world can a person sit with you soo many months, keeping so many lies and doing all of that perfectly calm? He believed and he lived in his own reality when lying is the only way.

We knew he had flat feet, dyslexia, possible an OCD and possible an autism.

He didn't lie to get away from something or make himself look better agaisnt other community members. He lied and made the fake stories because this is what he believed in.

Please, take some time to read the whole thread and I know it's a lot but I seriously want to know. Even if now, he is permantnely blocked from the community and everywhere.

Thanks, John.

Hello Vasileiou: I see this is your first post here on PC. So... to PsychCentral… from the Skeezyks! May the time you spend here be of benefit.

Thanks for sharing your experiences with this person. Honestly, I wouldn't know what to tell you about his behavior. He clearly has some problems. But what they may stem from is something that would have to be ferreted out by a mental health professional of some sort. Our purpose here on PC is to provide one another with support & to share information & experiences. You mentioned, at the end of your post, that he is now permanently blocked from the community. And I think that's probably best to simply leave it at that.
