I agree, it could be a source of comfort for this person to make things up. It could also be that he actually believes what he is saying. Self-delusion is one way of coping with what someone feels is an unbearable existence. But whatever the reason, if he is making up stories or building himself up to be someone he isn't, then he is also in need of compassion, as Nightfairy said, as it suggests he could be in denial about his life and quite possibly in a lot of emotional pain.
