Sadly there is a type of person who constructs their own reality , they do not like who they really are , dont feel good enough ect , so go about creating a fake version. There are clues that someone is doing this.
They often talk about themselves in the third person , affording themselves talents and qualitys that they do not have .They frequently rewrite history , denying that things happened or were said , or they exagerate massiveley and enjoy dramas . Theyre often victims too.
They are keen to be seen as " nice people " and can compartalise quite easily , they often have low emotional intelligence and can be very defensive if you challenge their version of events . Their favourite word is I and they tend to be immature and selfish deep down. Their opinions can change daily and in a way they do not know what they really think .
Not only do they create a fake charecter for themselves , but they create fake charecters for their partners , affording them charecterists that they do not really have . I was married to someone who exhibited these traits and i eventually realised i was nothing more than an acter in his play . The problems began when i refused to play the part and insisted on being seen for who i really was.
Op , if you asked him to describe you do you think he would come up with an accurate description of you ? Is he able to accurateley recall an event without putting his own spin on it ?
