Question Posted Thursday December 19 2013, 9:50 pm
Okay, so all of a sudden this week, my friend stopped talking to me. I texted him yesterday and he said that he was just feeling sad. I asked him what was wrong and he wouldn't tell me. He didn't feel like talking about it and I respected that. I was cool with it all until I texted him and he told me to **** off and to stop texting him. I can't help feel that I did something wrong, but he's like my best friend and i don't know what I could've done to make him mad. I feel like I did something wrong, at least that's how he's treating it. Though, I don't remember doing anything that could've upset him. I'm really worried about him and I don't know what to do. I stopped texting him but I'm so confused and worried. :/

I was like that awhile ago. I almost made my friend cry when she was checking up on me because I was just so absorbed in how I was feeling and just took it out on her.
Do you see him in person? If so, then maybe just talk to him then and let him know that you're sorry if you did anything to make him angry with you and you just wanted to let him know that you're there for him if he ever needs you.
If you won't see him in person any time soon, just send him a text saying the same thing. If he answers angry again just don't text him. [ lightoftruth's advice column | Ask lightoftruth A Question ]

Either way that response from him sounds kind of extreme. Not sure if you're school age or older. Do you see him at school or work? How is he acting there? Could there be a possibility that he is depressed or even suicidal? Has he been the moody sort before?
The problem with relying heavily on texting for only communication means we don't get to hear tone of voice or see body language which can relay a lot of information than just the words. You may be reading more into this than there is. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
goodgirlrayray answered Friday December 20 2013, 3:32 am: I'm so sorry this has happened to you. Something similar happened to me years ago. The fact that he told you to fuck means that the problem is with him. If he was your real friend he would have told you what was wrong with him. I know this hard cause he is you best friend but you have to leave him alone. He made it very clear that he wants to be left alone in the rudest way. Don't wreck your brain trying to figure out what you did wrong. I can assure you that you aren't the problem. Wish him well from afar.
