			One of [[Josh Block\|Josh's]] signature traits is lying, exaggerating, or fabricating stories, often to enhance his image or avoid responsibility. This behavior aligns with compulsive lying, a habitual tendency to deceive without clear motive, and is evident in several documented incidents:

			===Stomping A Fish To Death (June 2021)===
			{{Main\|Fish Stomping Incident}}
			In this incident, Josh claimed the fish he stomped was already dead and that he was "set up" by the person recording him, asserting he was "dared to do it" to shift blame. However, evidence contradicts this, showing he purchased a live fish and expressed intent to "smash its brains out," indicating a clear fabrication to evade accountability.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMfExZ1SVXE</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHJzNHzNxWQ</ref>
			===Financial Inconsistencies (April 2024 and September 2024)===
			Josh has made inconsistent statements about his finances. On April 19, 2024, he commented on TikTok, "I owe 9k I have a payment plan now," and later, on April 22, 2024, said, "I don’t know if I’m gonna have the money to travel anymore," suggesting financial hardship.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1c616fv/josh_owes_irs_9000/</ref><ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@worldoftshirts/video/7359423955356159275</ref> Yet, on September 5, 2024, during the [[Harassing The Homeless\|homeless harassment incident]], he boasted, "I have a career, I’m successful," only to later claim, "I work seven days a week, I work my butt off and only make $5000 a month. Do you know how poor I am? I live paycheck to paycheck." These contradictions suggest exaggeration or lying to manipulate perceptions of his success or victimhood.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1fagk0x/and_he_wonders_why_he_keeps_getting_assaulted/</ref>
			===LIRR Spitting & Screaming Attack (April 1, 2024)===
			[[Michael Quinn]] claimed Josh was attacked by "thugs" trying to steal his phone, hat, and wallet on the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR), and that Josh "flexed and roared like a beast" to defend himself. Videos, however, show Josh spitting at teenagers and screaming, with no evidence of an attack against him. A Reddit user reported Josh was locked in the bathroom briefly, after which he overreacted by spitting and screaming, suggesting any narrative of victimhood Josh may have supported was exaggerated or false.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1btphoq/josh_spits_at_someone_on_the_lirr/</ref><ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@elleasiaxxx/video/7353133172940426538</ref>

			These examples highlight a pattern where Josh fabricates or exaggerates stories, whether to bolster his image (claiming success or a "monopoly" on NYC roaming videos), avoid blame (fish incident), or garner sympathy (financial struggles).

			=== Lying About Attacks (May 2025) ===
			While streaming with [[Tony Bame]] across [[America]] during the [[Tony Bame Arc]], Josh was seen on camera consistently lying about being attacked with knives, having people threaten to steal his rolex, passport, or phone, and being hunted down by [[Dom Bertucci\|Dom Bertucci's]] thugs. It is unknown if Josh lied about these things on purpose or if he has [[Josh and Mental Health\|deluded himself]] into believing it.

	One of [[Josh Block\|Josh's]] signature traits is lying, exaggerating, or fabricating stories. ~~He usually does~~ this to make himself ~~look better~~ in the ~~eyes~~ of ~~others~~.		One of [[Josh Block\|Josh's]] signature traits is lying, exaggerating, or fabricating stories, often to enhance his image or avoid responsibility. This behavior aligns with compulsive lying, a habitual tendency to deceive without clear motive, and is evident in several documented incidents:

			* '''Stomping A Fish To Death (June 2021):''' In this incident, Josh claimed the fish he stomped was already dead and that he was "set up" by the person recording him, asserting he was "dared to do it" to shift blame. However, evidence contradicts this, showing he purchased a live fish and expressed intent to "smash its brains out," indicating a clear fabrication to evade accountability.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMfExZ1SVXE</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHJzNHzNxWQ</ref>
			* '''Financial Inconsistencies (April 2024 and September 2024):''' Josh has made inconsistent statements about his finances. On April 19, 2024, he commented on TikTok, "I owe 9k I have a payment plan now," and later, on April 22, 2024, said, "I don’t know if I’m gonna have the money to travel anymore," suggesting financial hardship.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1c616fv/josh_owes_irs_9000/</ref><ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@worldoftshirts/video/7359423955356159275</ref> Yet, on September 5, 2024, during the [[Harassing The Homeless\|homeless harassment incident]], he boasted, "I have a career, I’m successful," only to later claim, "I work seven days a week, I work my butt off and only make $5000 a month. Do you know how poor I am? I live paycheck to paycheck." These contradictions suggest exaggeration or lying to manipulate perceptions of his success or victimhood.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1fagk0x/and_he_wonders_why_he_keeps_getting_assaulted/</ref>
			* '''LIRR Spitting & Screaming Attack (April 1, 2024):''' Michael Quinn claimed Josh was attacked by "thugs" trying to steal his phone, hat, and wallet on the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR), and that Josh "flexed and roared like a beast" to defend himself. Videos, however, show Josh spitting at teenagers and screaming, with no evidence of an attack against him. A Reddit user reported Josh was locked in the bathroom briefly, after which he overreacted by spitting and screaming, suggesting any narrative of victimhood Josh may have supported was exaggerated or false.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1btphoq/josh_spits_at_someone_on_the_lirr/</ref><ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@elleasiaxxx/video/7353133172940426538</ref>

			These examples highlight a pattern where Josh fabricates or exaggerates stories, whether to bolster his image (claiming success or a "monopoly" on NYC roaming videos), avoid blame (fish incident), or garner sympathy (financial struggles). Additional instances may be detailed in community discussions, such as the Reddit thread referenced below.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1flaod4/nobody_asked_for_it_but_heres_the_worldoftshirts/</ref>
