but my friend is a chrisitan. He wants me to go to church with him every week, and im not all that enthusiastic. I feel guilty for even thinking about saying no because i get all self concious when i think of him thinking of me as a sinner. Anyways we were having a very good time at a footbal game and then we were talking about stuff and somehow the topic just came up about dying. He was like, no offense but if you died right now i think you'd go to hell. He was being really serious. Well, it depressed the hell out of me. Im a nice person, i dont try to judge people, i like to share, my morals are higher then anyone elses and then i get depressed because i cant live up to them. I was really hurt but i didnt let on. He wouldnt elaborate, he said we could talk about it on the phone sometime. Well, do you think it was right of him to say that? Or am i just being dumb? I cant help but feel like im some kind of 'project' hes trying to save... (link)

There's a difference between being judgmental and wanting to share truth. Your friend sounds like he is very concerned about your eternal life or he wouldn't have risked saying something to you. Your friend can't save you. He can only point you to the one who can.
You get depressed from not living up to all these things because your inner self knows they aren't good enough and they never will be. I can relate to that feeling. But there is a way to be free and that is giving your life to Jesus Christ. Jesus paid the price for your sins and is waiting for you to accept that by accepting His sacrifice. Your friend is right -- if you died without Christ, you'd go to hell. But don't let a another day go by without seeking out the One who gave His very life to save you from such a fate.
Don't take my word for it. Ask your friend for a bible and read it. Ask your friend to pray for you to have understanding. Ask questions. Go to church with him. Seek and you WILL find. Jesus loves you very much!
