My friend told everyone he was dying.?

I have this friend, He told everyone he was dying, but he's not, he's not even sick. He told them all he had 2-4 weeks. Now he regrets telling them that. Why do you think he lied? and how do you think he can fix it?

Update:

I Think he might be suicidal, and at the time he was contemplating it. I'm not sure if he still is or not. What should I do?

    Well, first off, he can start giving all his friends an apology for lying about dying.

    Second, if he doesn't have a good excuse for doing that, he can just tell them that he was undergoing doubts with the importance of his existence and wanted to know if anybody would at least care if he's dying.

    I think your friend wanted attention, he might wanna see a psychiatrist or a friend...

    One of my friend once did the same thing and everyone hated him for that after they relized he was lying. He made one of his friends troll people they knew that he got hit by a car and ended up dying. One of his very close best friends called the police and the news was all over the best friend's house, she called because she was just so horrified on what happend. As soon as she knew he was lying her parents forced her to not ever talk to the boy again not even keep in contact with each other over a phone or something. They were so mad that they hated mentioning that boy's name. On his Facebook wall alot of sad posts from his friends made him happy about the way they felt towards what happend. As soon as they knew it was all a fake story, the wall posts turned out to be "hatred, and was all the opesit. He ended up to be feeling that he really needed to kill his self, but his life is a happy life and its hard to end it in a sad way. When i asked him why did he really lie about everything that happend to him he answerd "BECAUSE I WANTED TO SEE THE PEOPLE THAT LOVED AND CARED ABOUT ME" lol so here you go that's why your friend did that, and yes they should feel guilty and regret the thing they did. They only way to fix it is just get over the fact that everyone is going to hate him/her for what they did and lied about. GoodLuck

    -Your friend is going to have a hard time help them through that. <3

    Well, I think he said that because he wanted to get attention from your friends, and I'm not saying that he did that, I'm just saying it could be possible. And he could fix by telling everybody the reason he did it and maybe apologize. Hope it helps you.
