I was willing to give Chris the benefit of the doubt when it comes to him being an unreliable narrator or being otherwise disconnected from reality.Yeah, the girlfriend messages are damning. I think that his sense of reality is impaired (uh, obv), but he has enough sense of right vs wrong to cater how he talked about the Barb situation to his specific audiences.
He knew that he had to make up the girlfriend story with Null, but with others, who may have indicated to him (or did indicate to him) that they were into it, he knew that it was okay to talk about it. It's not even just about it being fed to him, he knew specifically that he'd be in trouble if he told Null about it, so he made up a lie (albeit a transparent one, in retrospect).
The fact he KNEW that he couldn't say that he porked his mom directly to Null, so he decides instead to lie by omission and instead drop hints.
It's just all very strange, it completely reframes all of the interactions Chris has EVER had.
