I would suggest talking to your friend and ask him why he hates you. If he ignores you or tells you to shut up again, then find a better friend. Why do you want to make things right with someone who treats you like this? It doesn’t matter how long you have been friends for, people change. This friendship I’m afraid has gone sour. You need better friends; you deserve better friends. The energy you are wasting worrying about him, use that same energy to find someone else. You said he ignores and usually tells you to shut up, if this is not a sign he doesn’t want to be your friend, then I honestly don’t know what is. I want you to ask him if he hates you or something along that line. Look at his facial expression, tone of voice and the way he treats you. If he looks angry or is very harsh or simply doesn’t want to talk to you, then you need to leave. If, however, the outcome was more positive, then both of you need to work things out. I think I was a bit too harsh, so I would try to be more understanding for your friend. You said that your friend is a 2nd-year university student. This is the time when you would have a lot of work and projects to do. Maybe he’s very stressed out? Or maybe he is lagging behind in class? There could be a lot of reasons why he could be angry. Maybe he’s struggling and anyone bothering him just irritates him. You would have to get to the bottom of this. See what is causing him to ignore you. Is it Uni work or is it just you?
