Explanation needed for my title!
So for the first time ever I've spotted someone I know on here
They have exaggerated and lied on their thread .
Why do people do this when looking for advice !

To be less identifying.

Because the matter was bigger to them than you and their emotions are heightened.

To ensure they get the ‘correct’ responses.

They are bored.

To provoke a response
To make the issue seem more important
To garner sympathy/ outrage

All of the above.

Or they genuinely believe their version of events?

They are not looking for advice more for people to agree with them that they are ‘right’.
