[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a really melodramatic friend who is a compulsive liar. And she mostly lies to paint herself as a good put upon person or just kind of dramatic things that engender sympathy and make it seem like she has a SUPER INTERESTING life. When my brother died as a teenager she told me all about how her uncle died when she was little.

I've known her for like 35 years... most people think of her as the kindest and nicest and most genuine person on a planet. And she is s kind person which is why I'm still friends with her but she's also a compulsive liar.

Maybe this lady is a paranoid bully... or maybe she's been pulled around the block by your friend's drama so many times she actually thinks she'd lie about something like this. And that says something alarming about your friend, even if in this case the grief and loss is real and genuine. [/quote]

I can see that some people are distrusting - some people say paranoid, and yes, that might be the case here.  I know my friend better than the other girl knows my friend.  The other girl is the type of person to say "see, I AM a good person!" -- as if she wants a medal.  Truth is, she really is not a good person, based on her actions over the years.  OTOH, my friend is the type of person you definitely want on your side, and of the people that know my friend,  she really is impressive - she is successful and humble, and you don't see that very often.  I think the other friend just has a problem with that, and tries to "take her down"  because that is the type of person she is - in other words NOT good. There really isn't anything hidden or complex here, I am just debating if we should call the other friend out on it.  I am a little tired of some people going along with the other friend, in order to avoid her paranoid treatment. The other friend is prone to drama, and it is exhausting for the rest of us.[/quote]

In my experience little is gained from having large scale confrontations about this stuff. Tell the dead mom friend that her other friend isn't much of a real friend to her and then stop hanging out with/ talking to trash talk friend. If TT friend asks why say you think she kind of bullied DM friend and it made you uncomfortable.

There's not reason to try to become a lead role in the story of DM AND TT's friendship[/quote]
