Nope but you keep telling yourself that.
Not sure what that means but in your world it must be pretty big.
Nope just a small statement of fact.
Still having trouble understanding that calling something a fact means you have to have evidence to back it up?
The guy seems to think his opinions are fact. I'm not sure what is learning issue is, however it is quite severe.
He admitted to having done something stupid younger in life. He made the claim that I had done something equally stupid. I asked him multiple times to provide just one example of something I had done that proved his claim. He couldn't provide just one yet he still held to his claim using that I disagreed as "proof".
because it is...
Why people lie — and how to tell if they are

Everybody lies. It may only be “white” lies, but everyone tells lies or “omits the truth” sometimes.
We start lying at around age 4 to 5 when children gain an awareness of the use and power of language. This first lying is not malicious, but rather to find out, or test, what can manipulated in a child’s environment. Eventually children begin to use lying to get out of trouble or get something they want.
White lies, those concocted to protect someone’s feelings, are not a big deal at all. The person, however, who seems to feel compelled to lie about both the small and large stuff has a problem.
We often call these folks pathological liars (which is a description, not a diagnosis). They lie to protect themselves, look good, gain financially or socially and avoid punishment. Quite often the person who has been deceived knows that this type of liar has to a certain extent deluded him or herself and is therefore to be somewhat pitied.
A much more troubling group is those who lie a lot — and knowingly — for personal gain. These people may have a diagnosis called antisocial personality disorder, also known as being a sociopath, and often get into scrapes with the law.
Lying often gets worse with the passage of time. When you get away with a lie it often impels you to continue your deceptions. Also, liars often find themselves perpetrating more untruths to cover themselves.
