Is my best friend overreacting, what do you guys think (need answers please)?

He maybe deeply hurt by it. But he should have let it go by now. Not with this much rage. He may need serious help. He maybe suffering hypertension (high-blood pressure), Bipolar, Manic Depression, or he might be anorexic. If he's super thin like you said he might have a problem with that. If he hasn't calm down about it now I'd talk to his family to see if he's ok. He maybe having some problems at home there as well. Like personality changes.

I can relate my sister came down with a mental illness. She just one day disclaimed me out of the blue. I've known her all my life she never did once did that. I love her dearly and I can't see her go through that she is now herself when she got help.

Talk to his family. Problems like this usually starts after High school. Mainly when you turn 18yrs old. Sometimes relationships recover when he gets help. But if he's fine. Then he's just plainly being a jerk.

Yes, he is over reacting. He's totally out of control. Maybe he has mood swings due to drug use? It sounds like he worries about how others are going to take it. He shouldn't worry about impressing others, but maybe that's what bothered him. I think you should just cool it with him. If he gets so upset about a minor remark like that, then you will have to choose your words very carefully every time you open your mouth. Sounds like he can't take any criticism or is lacking a sense of humor. A friendship like that isn't worth it because he will always be on the defense every time you say something. if you can't laugh and joke around, then where's the friendship anyway.

Dude if he gets offended over a joke made by you than you guys probably don't know each other so well. Stop trying to contact him. He will soon realize that you guys are friends and want to contact you back. If that's not the case then maybe his actions and circumstances might indicate something he wishes to tell you but feels dumb or stupid saying it. You might want to look into that.

attempt to (ok, this sounds extraordinary, yet) *capture him in a concern the place he isnt under pressure out (ie artwork) and ask why he's mad at you. needless to say, he will the two say something which you didnt think of replaced into incorrect (which you wouldnt think of replaced into incorrect) or he will point out the MySpace incident. merely clarify {in an incredibly calm way} which you have been in basic terms joking. in keeping along with his answer, merely shop attempting to describe you have been joking (yet don't be all "i replaced into in basic terms JOKING!"). merely form of SOFTLY shop asserting you have been joking. don't be sarcastic approximately it, that may not possibly clean up something. merely be tender while explaining the way you have been joking and easily making a fact that he replaced into working at McDonald's. i'm hoping I helped.

He's an ignorant idiot in my eyes.

If he doesn't let go, maybe he's jealous of something you've got, and finally had a reason to bash out on you. I know it sounds dumb, but I've done that.

You should just tell him that he's acting really childish, and that his behavior is truly making you sad.

hes ovbiously not interested so leave him, hes probably loving the attention hes getting from you, seriously leave him alone for a while, once he sees that your not running after him then he will start running after you, and if he is a good friend then give him some time to cool off and when hes ready he will come to you himself.

He is not a true friend who can not take a joke try looking for a real friend
