My male best friend said he regrets knowing me?

Question

My best friend and I got in a heated argument because he told me a secret about our third friend and I teased him that I was going to tell our friend about what he said.

He got pissed and started yelling at me and would let me talk, i then got upset with him hung up on him.

He didn’t let me finish my sentence that I was just kidding about telling our third friend.

He called the next day because he really wanted to clear the air. I was still upset with him and told him that I was so pissed with him because he really didn’t let me finish my sentence and before I could tell him it was a joke, he burst out saying how he regrets knowing me and how he regrets telling me anything to begin with.

I was upset so I just hung up and haven’t called him since.

What do you think I should do

Don't call him, text and explain. That way you get to say everything you want without interruption. If you want to maintain the friendship tell him that first off you were only joking about telling the person but they didn't let you explain and that you are sorry you maybe took it a bit too far as a joke but that his comment of wishing he had never met you has really hurt you and that you are struggling to get past it. If he messages back and says I am sorry I said it out of anger and didn't mean it then clear the air and move on, if he doesn't apologise for it then just let the friendship go.

Don't call, don't text, don't do anything. Let him call you when he feels like talking . If he doesn't then just deal with it, move on and shake it off.

(Proverbs 17:17) A true friend shows love at all times And is a brother who is born for times of distress.
Call your friend and clear the air.

Write him a letter, buy a stamp and post it to him. That might make him take seriously the apology I hope you'll be putting in writing.  He, seriously, needs to know that he can still trust you.

That happened to me once. Then I realized that I shouldn't have even joked about something like that because it takes the sense of "This only stays between u and me" away, immediately. I know that was a joke, but as soon as you said it, it bursted that bubble.

If I'm being completely honest with you; That wasn't a very funny joke to begin with. I think that you should apologize to your friend and admit to them that you were in the wrong. If they don't wanna be friends moving forward after your apology, then so be it. But if they really were your best friend, then chances of them accepting you back are pretty decent. However, you can't just sit back and wait for him to make the first move, if you want something, you have to go and get it yourself.
