I went to school with the guy years ago, we used to be friends for a while when we were in gymnastics. I made a light hearted joke about his mom one day because she usually picked him up after practice and he had a meltdown because apparently she passed away earlier that week, but none of us knew. Everyone there tried to be supportive but he just kept lashing out at everyone until they eventually had to kick him off of the team. It wasn't until years later that I found out he made that story up, his mom came out and transitioned to being a man and that was all it took to push him over the edge. I thought it was unfair of him to lash out at us like that and lie about his parents passing away, so we just lost all our respect for him. I'd be happy to talk things over and be friends again but he just holds these grudges, it's like he stopped mentally developing at 14 after the whole situation
