I am having a problem with my best friend - and its starting to turn into more than just a minor mishap. I have known him for 5 months and we have completely bonded over that time period and spend A LOT of time togehter - we get along GREAT we tell eachother everything... the usual best friend stuff.... but I don't understand why he lies to me so much , he is always lieing about everyting, and making up excuses.
He tries to compete with me for girls and for other friends when actually he is the only friend I really care about. I am 15 and he is 14 we act so much alike it is scary.... everytime we talk about something we end up saying the exact same thing, and im not exaggerating .... but why does he lie to me? why does he try to act big? why does he alwyas go around sucking up to everyone? when its just me and him everything is fine - but as soon as someone else is in the picture he tries to look big to them in front of me - almost as if hes trying to impress me somehow but that just makes me mad. There is a lot goin on and it depresses me how he is acting - he wouldnt even tell me where he lived (he lied about that 2 and then finally his sister told me where their house was) .
I live in a big 3 story white house - i have expensive things - but that doesnt change WHO I AM - and i had no idea but his mom died when he was younger , now his dad is having a hard time and they live in a trailer - and half of the time he lives with his grandparents.... ive never been to his house before, he never invited me but he comes here all the time and when i bring up his house i can tell hes trying to hide something from me and once again he will lie......
its so confusing - can someone please help me understand this? and the weirdest thing - despite all that happens.... i obsess over him - is that because we are so much alike? or maybe its because this is bothering me so bad? i hope someone can help me understand..... we're really close and i dont want to ruin the best thing to ever happen to me
