Any serious or non serious advice to helping out a friend of mine would be swell.
A little background about the guy so you can put a picture in your head:
One of my best high school friends. We were the most popular kids in school and he developed a big ego and thought he was awesome because he thought high school mattered and never let it go. He was always the fat hilarious guy that got along with everyone and was always joking around. He's 22 now and still doesn't have his driver's license and has never had a job. He is so incredibly lazy and worthless but has a ton of friends because he's a super social and outgoing guy and has a good heart.
He's also a chronic liar. One of those people that's so outwardsly happy that you know something has to be bothering him deep down. He went to college and had a mental breakdown like 2 weeks in and left in the middle of the night and never went back. Didn't even tell his room mates he was leaving. Then he enrolled in my college (where my other best friend also went). We still liked the kid, but knew he would occasionally lie about stuff but we took it for what it was.
Anyways, skip to now. I transferred and didn't really talk to him for 2 years, just here and there online about sports. 2 months ago we started hanging out when I was around town and we became friends again, going out for beers and bull****ting. All of my friends know he lies about stuff but we didn't know how bad it was. A mutual friend of ours spilled a ton of lies about this kid... He hasn't been enrolled in college for over 2 years but still lives on campuses and parties and stuff. He fakes like he is going to class and walks around campus with a backpack, then comes back. His mom gives him whatever he wants (probably since his dad died a few years back) and he has ran his family into debt. His mother called my friend 4 times in the last year asking him for money loans (my friend is a bookie, has tons of money). Couple weeks back, he said he finally got his license. This was also a lie. He is now driving without ever getting a license and I'm pissed because he has driven me around. There's also a girl he is friends with who he constantly lies about and says they are dating and have done all sorts of sexual stuff when none of it's true. He wrote a book and got it published by some small company (it was only 22 pages long) and lies about the money he receives from them.
He doesn't know I know any of this, but I just think he's in serious trouble. He has run his mom and him into debt by living on college campuses without even attending school for 2 years. The kid just lies about everything but is a legit nice guy (hard guy to really explain). He's 22 and has never had a job or license and spends money like crazy. I don't know what he'll do since he has no education, even though he fakes like hes in college, and now is in massive debt. I guess my friend confronted him about the lies and he has a mental breakdown, which he is prone to do. I wanna help the guy out cause I see his life just going down the toilet but I don't know what to say or do. Everytime we have tried to motivate him in the past he has either shrugged it off or got pissed off because we were making fun of him then got depressed.
