Hi and Welcome to Psych Central.
It is really hard when people we care about are unsupportive of where we are at. It is ignorance of the illness on his part that makes him unable to understand and causes him to lack the compassion necessary to see it a different way. You definitely have to question how good of a friend he is when he is unwilling to listen to where you are coming from even if he doesn't understand.
but from your side of it, hate is a strong feeling. Can you forgive him his ignorance and move on so you don't have to suffer with those feelings. You don't know what is in his past that is causing him to react so strongly to you so just forgive him and move on. Find more caring supportive people to fill your life with. Good luck.
