I think my best friend is making up fake people?
PLEASE help! I don't know if this is a mental disorder or what. I know this is long, but I'm worried about her.
Okay we are seniors in HS. 18 yrs old. She has a whole story of 3 different guys she's had major relationships with, but to be honest, if you looked at her and how she acts you would be surprised that she has had relationships. Her current bf she apparently met this summer while i was out of state all summer. He would sometimes text me from her phone, and then he added me on Skype so i got to know him pretty well. But even when i came back, i never got to meet him. Now he's supposedly in college so thats why i never see him. But he is always "at her house" and i'll be talking to him from her phone but then if I show up at her house he and his friend "just left" and took her phone..then he doesnt text the whole time I am with her, but starts as soon as I leave. This is the same kind of thing with Skype.
Now apparently she and he are trying to set me up with his friend. His friend will text me from her phone when he comes over with her bf, or talk to me on Skype, but never at the same time I am with her. Also, neither of them happen to have Facebooks. There is a lot more evidence she is making them up, like I googled their names and what school they went to and nothing came up, etc.
Normally, I would just go along with it--she obviously just want attention, right? But she has had soo much drama with the guy, him cheating on her, her spending the night at my house and crying about him while i comfort her, and stuff like that. SO much emotional stress, on her and on me, that I'm starting to think this may be deeper than an attention grabber.
I can't just confront her, somebody once did in a joking way and she got really upset. But what can I do?
...if you read this whole thing, thank you so much.
What if she ISN'T making it up? I would feel horrible for not trusting her.

Yeah..it does kind of sound like she's making it up. I had a friend like this too once. I hate the whole confrontational thing, as well. But I realized that no matter what you say, she'll only deny it. Plus, the embarrassment she'll feel would probably kill her. But...if you REALLY want to know if she's lying, do this:
The next time her fake boy friend starts texting you from her house, get off of your caboose immediately and head over to her house, but DON'T tell her that you're there. Then, when you're standing in front of the house text him saying, "so what are you guys up to right now?" if he says something like, "just hanging out" or whatever, just knock on the door after getting his text, then reply, "that's cool" then when your friend opens the door just say, "I thought I'd surprise you.
There is absolutely NO way she can say that her bf just took off with some friends - you would have seen them leave, since you'll be standing right there. She'll be caught, and the whole thing will be over.
Good luck to you :)

She doesn't sound Mental. Although Lying is a very serious issue. You should confront her and if she gets upset , she is probably being defensive because she is caught in a lie. I'm 36 yrs old have learned the hard way. I made excuses for years for my lying bff. I grew up taught that lying and stealing were the worst things to be know as. Your honesty will always be respected! Good Luck to you

Read the whole thing.
You probably should have a private talk with her parents.
That is one sick person.
She could get dangerous, and blame it on someone else.
be watchful.
Good luck.
Source(s): Why not pretend you are texting him when you are at her house in front of her. She would know that was impossible, and try to look. Don't let her look, say it was very private what he said. I'd love to be there for that. : ) - How do you think about the answers? You can sign in to vote the answer.

Yikes! Your friend needs counseling, and fast! You're a good friend for sticking with her.
Source(s): Wow, you're right! Thanks for answering mine. :)
