Do people try to get some emotions out of you with a fake story?!


Question: Do people try to get some emotions out of you with a fake story?
My brother's friend had came over. The friend was talking about a car wreck that happen last night. I don't really know this guy like that but it sound like he was lying. he said, a civic was speeding behind him and hit this lady in a range rover. The range rover flipped like 4 times he said. He said he helped the lady up out of her range rover that was flipped upside down... I was in my bed at the time so I got up to speak to him. So he retold the story but a little different. He said, the civic passed by him with "no remorse". then hit this range rover and made it flip "8" times. He got out and helped. To me it sounded like he was trying to get me to feel a certain way to get something out of me. I guess by adding "no remorse" in the conversation. If its that, I cant feel fake remorse from a fake story that was told. I do feel genuine remorse like when my mom was trying to get me to do something and we where kinda yelling in the over the phone. So later after I did what she wanted to do my mom said tell I am sorry for yelling at you and your friend. I apologized and I apologized to him for taking up his time... this is the same friend that had came over today... another incident was when we where in target and the door closed on him. I apologized sooo many times because I felt that I could have stopped that. He later replied I had a big heart. so today I feel a little down when he said that. It upsets me when people try to either prove something or try to get some type of emotion out of me for some bs story that probably didn't happen. I do have emotions for genuine things. Is there anyway to bring myself up from this. I feel kinda bad.

sorry but I don't know how to approach people in situations like this. my brothers friend didn't say anything about the cops or did the other person that ran the range rover off the road come back and give any apology or other information.

another coversation with my cousin a while back said about *the same guy that befriended me* had cut 5% his middle finger while chopping an onion. the stated that he chop 10% of his thumb at a meat slicer. but he didn't cut his finger... no one did.

Answers:

yes some people do this, it's call dramatics, they get a feeling of euphoria knowing that your emotions have been played with, it's like a quick high for them



Yes,many people do.This way they get attention,
I notice a few here and know which are real or not.
It is a shame to lie about any serious issue.
It has to do with self esteem or lack of it.
Thank You
