Ask him what other people, things or truths he is avoiding in his life. The reasons for his lack of success may be found in the answer.
First, leave the friendship behind. The person is no longer your best friend --- for whatever reason. Sad, but true. Yes, it does hurt ... a lot. The issue is with the other person and nothing you can do about that, unfortunately.
Second, if you don't consider yourself a failure, ignore the comment. If you agree with this person, well then ... do something to improve yourself. It's much easier than most people believe --- and almost infinitely more easily done than to change someone else (less headaches and heartaches, too).
However, I hope you're just able to ignore the comment and move on. I think we've all been here before, and it's never an enviable place.
Good luck.
Is that how you read it? I guess it is a bit ambiguous because I read it to mean that the best friend feels like a failure in comparison to the OP.

Wow, that's never happend to me and I doubt seriously it ever will. I think I would say, "I'm sorry you feel that way." In my mind I would probably be thinking, "Sayanora." Seriously, this person sounds like they would suck the life out of you if you let them.What do you do when your once best friend says this to you?
Not funny, and not appreciated. :irked:tell him to fuck off. then follow him home and crack his head open with a shovel. once you dismember the body bury it in all corners of your city
After trying to decipher that statement, that is the side I initially took too. Though you may understand it better with the tone (and perhaps context) it was voiced in.Is that how you read it?

Your friend suffers from depression and low self esteem. This is a cry for help and they are reaching out to you to let you know that they are sick.
What would I do with a sick friend? I would try and get him or her back on their feet and healthy again... it all just depends on how much you care about them and how much of a bond you have.
just try not to stalk and dismember him because he is depressed. lol!! :smile:
But like NJ said, if you can't really do anything for him or her, then you might as well just write them off until they get better on their own. If you can be of service, then by all means do it.
What do you do when your once best friend says this to you?
My personal feelings would be, "It's really hard to believe we're best friends if you subscribe to that now." That or ask if he really believes that.What do you do when your once best friend says this to you?
Don't take rejection well, do you??tell him to fuck off. then follow him home and crack his head open with a shovel. once you dismember the body bury it in all corners of your city
Dig it- not only that, it doesn't sound sane either.Not funny, and not appreciated. :irked:
I told him that I loved him anyway, and that his friendship was one of the most precious gifts I'd ever received. Then I told him to go about his business and that if it included me I'd be pleased and honored.What do you do when your once best friend says this to you?
How could you tell they were going to say it? Can you read someone's mind when you meet them?I wouldn't befriend somebody who is likely to say that.
Would somebody say that to me, they're not really my friend, nor would I maintain a relationship with them.
