Several people have independently identified this person as a story topper. He is apparently incapable of simply listening to a story or claim without telling one of his own inevitably grander tales. This is especially through if alcohol is involved.
This is annoying. It shows that this person is far more interested in hearing their own voice than what someone else has to say. They clearly believe that their own life is far more exciting and extreme than others and also believe that they need to make this obvious at every possible moment.
I do worry for them. Of course insecurity is at the base of this but how far do they have to take these stories? I mostly assume that they are lying about these stories but if they are true, then they are surely living in such a way as to actually be dangerous. But why lie about living such an awful lifestyle?
Perhaps I best just nod along to the stories and keep a wary eye out.
