<human>: So me and my bros have some problems with one dude in our group, lets call him Shiny Buddha, or SB for short. So SB seems like a pretty cool, outgoing bro that you would chill with. As we are all in high school all our friends usually are friends with each other. However when it goes for Shiny Buddha things are different.

I don't want to start sounding like an asshole but as you get to know SB more, it becomes more obvious that his confidence is a clutch to a lot of his insecurities. He lies a lot, about things that don't matter just to make him seem cooler and more of a bro. SB also is known to go out of his way and make it sound that he is an expert at whatever he experiences. Whether its about pot, girls, parties, raves, music, how to interact with others, skating, fashion, whatever. Plus he can be a condescending fuck at times.

All this bs gets real annoying fast and as our other friends don't want to hang with him as much he starts to get a little emotional and a little bit of a bitch. But if he doesn't have us he would have no friends and I am a person who has his friends backs so I try to still hang out with him here and there. In the end I feel bad for his situation but I know I feel pity for him because he constantly puts himself there. It is a real pain to deal with cause I know he blames us for being 'immature' while he thinks he has changed so much. 

Honestly this guy would text me saying over the summer he realized how he alienated people and what not. I was glad for my friend, but in the end he's just acting the same way. I guess honestly I feel bad for him because that's my greatest fear, slowly alienating all the people I care about. 

Really I have no idea what to do. Can you guys help me out? It seems simple as I write it down but as this is my everyday life with me trying to inform him, his bitchiness can get tiring. Ight sorry for the long post

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: Shiny Buddha is being a bitch to cover some unknown insecurities, doesn't realize it and gets all somber like a little kid, can't seem to figure out how to tell him its his fault.
