thats...EXTREMELY insulting.
to me it would be.

i had a someone like that in my life do that to me. like you said. they would say im interesting and only because my dx. they tried to mimic me/the dx and it didnt last but maybe some odd number of days.

it made me feel like my problems were downplayed by them and made into a fashion statement.

it really made me sick. because i had considered them a friend too.
it made me lose some hope there in people.
