My friend is tired of me.
I admit that I have been addicted with our relationship but everything comes to an end now . We both know it, but I do not want to loose him :’( What can I do to keep our relationship?

Ouch. The only thing you can do is tell him how you feel.
I already did. I just made everything worst…
If this is the only think I can do, that means that I lost him?
I’m sorry.
Maybe it’s best if you put some distance between you. When feelings get really raw, it can be hard to say or do anything that doesn’t just hurt all over again.
But with distance may come perspective, and the ability to begin again with a better view of the past and the possibilities of the future.
nice idea… shall I wait for him to call? Or shall i call him after some time?
well… this one is the only I ever had. I am 24 years old and he is(was?) the only friend I ever had… I do not how to find friends with such as patience…
Male. I feel like I am appearing too needy to other people.Everyone is always so busy and they start to avoid me…
Give it some time. Then, maybe give him a call.
In the meantime, I agree with jlove -find other friends, do other things, take care of yourself. Let him do the same.
Neediness is just human. You can be friends with someone without trying to dominate all their time or monopolize their attention. Just learn to accept what they can give, and expand your circle to include enough people to give you what you need.
It is like when you are addicted…. You can not stop it easily… having a friend is very nice and I am very very very addicted to it…
Yes; I understand. But friendship is not intended to be a crutch to get you through your life. You have to learn to have your own inner resources to do that, and the only way to get them is to spend time on yourself, and by yourself.
Take up a hobby, get a pet, spend your time giving to others so you don’t feel the only thing you’re good for is taking. It takes time to learn those skills, but you can do it. And when you do, you’ll love yourself and won’t depend on your friend to do it all for you.
Then, he may be more comfortable in the relationship and want to spend time with you. If not, you’ll be able to move on without regrets and pain.

The true is that I hate me very much. I do not think that I deserve to live. Thank you both for your advises.
look, if you didn’t deserve to live, you wouldn’t be alive. its that simple. and maybe if your obbsession with this friend ship if makeing you hang around that person to much, or bothering them to much. try backing off a little. i remeber when 2 of my friends started going out the boy called the girl like, 20 times a day. no exageration. and he clung to her like a baby kuwala when they were together. she brock it off before to long. so yeah, just try to chill, don’t go doing anything crazy, and remeber, there is always someone out there who has it wrose then you. i don’t care if you have facail deformitys, dwarfisem, cancer, is a shemale, and in a wheel chair, there is still someone else out there who has it then you. ok, weird example but you get my point
I already see a doctor but I do not know what to say … i find it very difficult because I see him. Face to Face. here i hope that i am anonymous. You dont really know me although you help me.
when my friend was in a depression, she took medication for it, and it really helped her. but the key is not to stop after you feel better, becuase then you’ll get depressed again. so even after you feel happy, keep takeing it
Talk to your doctor about your obsessiveness with this friend. It may just mean that you have an Obsessive Control Disorder (OCD). The relationship could be built on controlling the person to perform for you and not mutually being supportive to each other. Once the other person leaves, there is nothing to control anymore this can and will cause panic until another person is found and the senario begins again.
I am not a doctor but you need to sort this out. This would explain why your friend left. Okay?
may seem funny, but focus on other friends, and youll have more.
