Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I just started college last fall and the first person I met was a guy we will call Bark. We became friends the first day even though I really thought he was incredibly annoying. He told me and fellow hall mates all these stories about great things he has done in his life, but us not knowing who the hell he was, had no option but to believe it. Here are his lies:

Phase One:

When Bark and I first met our big friend group we had a night of some deep convo with each other. Bark confessed that he had an issue with body dysmorphia and he hated how "fat" he was. He isn't a big guy, just a little husky. Before I get backlash on that, I am bigger than he is. That isn't the lie. He claimed that when he had his big soccer injury(thats the next lie) that he had gained all this weight and became "fat." Well a little investigation into his instagram shows that he was never skinny and always a little chubby, and is currently not the biggest he's ever been. Not saying that maybe he does hate his weight, but it is a lie that he gained a bunch of weight all the sudden.

Next lie is his soccer career. Bark claimed that he was ranked top in the state and that he was going to get a soccer scholarship. He played goalie and one game he had a rough injury that blew out his knee and that he was in the hospital for months. And this is when he gained all his weight. Well...a friend of ours went back home with Bark one weekend and he got some alone time with Bark's hometown friends. Come to find out what I just told you happened to Bark's best friend, not Bark.

Theres more and more lies, but these will suffice.

Phase Two will focus on lies he told between the start of college and the present.

Bark falls in love Tracy(fake name) when she has not really done anything for him to do so. She hung out with him for a weekend and even made out with him. That was all though. No clothes taken off or anything. This leads to a tremendous amount of drama that all caused a mass of stress on Tracy. She tried being a friend and this stretched out for weeks and weeks, but every time they were alone he would try to kiss and even more, he would try to seduce her. Saying things like, "Were young" and "Were perfect for each other." I could keep going but I think the picture is easy to see.

Phase Three is going to show the fallout. It is kind of short but important.

Bark goes to his new friends that he shared the sex lie to for solace after Tracy shuts him out of her life. Proceeds to tell all of them that I have been bullying him, not giving him that space he needs, and pressuring him into doing things that he doesn't want to do. All of this as a lie, as almost every meet up since we first met has been orchestrated by him. I have never stuck out my arm and tried to talk to him.

Either way he claims he is now super depressed and having bad thoughts but wants to be friends again. Am I the asshole for not giving him another chance and being friends with him again?
