You're living together, and you're in his space. You've mentioned before that you have a hard time listening, understanding and communicating with him, which I'm sure adds to the frustration and resentment.
You've been friends for quite a long time. He saw you were unhappy and gave you a place to stay so you can sort yourself out. But because you guys didnt set boundaries it appears he is becoming frustrated and I believe his criticisms point to a much larger issue with that being the unhealthy dynamic and dependency that has developed.
He is being highly critical in a way that reminds me of a parent criticizing their child, and I'm not surprised because you've both established a dynamic where he has to take care of you in some way.
You really need to get out of this situation. Have you been able to acquire another means of income?
In the meantime perhaps writing a letter or something to that effect might help explain how you feel. I only suggest because you seem to convey your thoughts effectively on the forum. You can read it out loud to him.
