Sounds like your friend is as empathetic as my Dad&my bf. My Dad always says "Quit feeling sorry for yourself, go down to the ER& see how good you've got it." And my bf is always saying "I'm sick of your ****, I don't care about YOUR problems&the world isn't out to get you." Sure seems to me like it is an AWFUL LOT. Your friend was a butthead&I'd also try to talk to him face to face&ask him "What exactly are you expecting me to trust you enough to share&what have you done to earn that trust-what you're doing now isn't helping."
