It is sort of a combination of both. The stuff he is telling people is based on conversations we had but he is blowing things up making them sound a lot different. No one who knows me seems to believe a word coming out of his mouth, the reason a friend even told me this was happening was because she thought it was so funny he would make something that stupid up...because its just no me. He is trying to make it sound like he amazing and perfect while I am needy and emotionally unstable. So it is kinda taking a conversation out of context. For example I had a really bad week and was just ready to quit my job, we were in a relationship so I confided in him how upset I was and broke down crying a little bit. Now when he tells the story its that the only reason I still have this job is because of him and without him I would have just quit. Had he not been there I probably would have just had the same conversation (with probably the same outcome) with a friend instead.
