Hi guys,

I have a question that has been bothering me for a long while now...it's somewhat related to Andrew and some of my friends.

I have one friend who is close to my heart. He's living a fake life. He's making things up, like his education and work experience (don't get me wrong, he's damn smart and you couldn't guess he doesn't have that level of education or work experience). He's living in the world he has created for himself and sometimes cannot differentiate between real and imaginary.

He said it gives him confidence in pursuing his goals and attracts like-minded people into his life. He's not selling anything - he's helping people and sharing knowledge for free and people appreciate it a lot. He's very gentle and polite guy. I am just a bit concerned about him, that's all.

Maybe there are forum members like my friend and Andrew who are afraid of coming forward. So, Andrew's threads aside, what advice would you give someone like my friend?

Thanks
