Sounds more like he thought his friends would like it and respond.
Reminds me of someone seeking attention.

Not sure why his friends like him. The other siblings agree that he is
an a-hole.

LOL!!!

It can be hard to tell if someone's BP if they are self-medicating, especially if they are high-functioning. For long stretches (years), I would really rapid cycle (mainly without any depression), and my episodes just blended together, so I was up all the time.

Kay,

I appreciate your insight today and all the time.

You are a wise woman.

Today, brother emailed me a link to a fancy restaurant. Apparently his son
applied there as a cook and could get the job.
I emailed back something hopeful and commented on how impressed I was by the restaurant.


(Brother really needs lots of attention and people telling him
how great he is even if the news is about possible greatness of his son/ my nephew.)

He probably needs all this positive reinforcement and uses all this grandiosity as a shield because he is extremely insecure. My father is like that, but to extremes. It can be so tiring.
