Today, this guy who I thought was my friend said that my "existence is of minimal consequence," and that I'm "an individual I clearly don't acknowledge." All this after he'd said, "I'm not trying to hurt you." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a friend told me he no longer wishes to be my friend, not because I did something, just because he no longer looks forward to seeing me, counts down every minute until a socially acceptable time to leave, and is always thinking up excuses to either be late or not come at all. Wow, just wow. FML
Today, my coworker came to my desk, so I greeted him with a smile, and said, "Hello friend." He then told me that we are not friends, and that he hates when I say that. Oh, OK, sorry for trying to be nice. FML
Today, I got a message from a former very close friend (with benefits) after telling him this morning that I couldn't talk to him anymore because I felt pressured to conform to his expectations in a way that hurt me. He wanted to tell me he broke up with the girl he abandoned things with me for. I'm not responding. FML
Today, I found out that my closest friend of many years had been putting on a charade of being my friend, and has decided that they can't be bothered with the effort of me existing any more. FML
Today, I made a move on a male friend that I’ve been crushing on and he rejected me saying we should just stay friends. I told him that he was so mean. He replied, “How am I mean? I’m just not that into you, just like you’re just not that into our friend who worships the ground you walk on.” FML
Today, I received a text saying, "I don't think we should be friends anymore. You're terribly depressing and you make everyone unhappy" followed by, "Oops, wrong person!" and then by, "Sorry, it really is for you". FML
Today, I found out that the person who I considered my best friend actually hates my guts. FML
Today, at work, I was told I was a failure. Feeling like crap, I went to my best friend to see if he could make me laugh. He told me that he felt obligated to hang out with me, so he thought that we shouldn't anymore. FML
Today, my best friend got drunk and told me he's only friends with me because no one else will be friends with him. He then went on to tell me that he wasn't actually that drunk. FML
Today, I was telling my friend how lonely I am on Skype. He responded by deleting me as a friend. FML

sounds like he is in the spectrum. chances are if you have been friends a long time it is such a norm for him he doesn't understand things would change. coupled with not being able to quite understand the meaning/ consequences of his words. talk to him and get it figured out... my brother is similar

Or "I have nothing against gay people". It's the 'but' that comes right after that ruins the magic.

Maybe you need to "kick" his "ass" to show him you do "exist." As Rene Descartes said, "Quotatio ergo sum." (I use excessive quotation marks therefore I am.)

If it’s a female in a culture where they are treated badly (I don’t know if pakistan is like that or not) this could be a deadly response. Tbh, the “friend” should be tossed aside and they should find a different friend that supports them. No one should stay with bad toxic friends. Thats not a friend, thats an enemy.

"I'm not trying to hurt you" and "I'm not a racist". if somebody says one of these phrases, they are lying.

or "no offense" or "with all due respect."

I always thought that "with all due respect" implied that no respect is due.

Could be a cultural thing to. Different societies have different taboos. Certain things like sugarcoating is looked down upon in society, so responses like this may be very common. Not saying it’s right, but society does dictate how conservative people handle things.
