sounds like someone talking out their rear while angry.... just let them cool down.

This is a hard one, But I know how you feel. Everyone is in a different place at different times through out life. Sometime you are on top making good money- all is perfect- everyday is shining.. and the next you are trying to make ends meet and just to pay rent or have food.

It sounds like Artomis had a bad day or someone else.. Not you.. May have flaunted there social or economical status to him. No matter who you are, we all have dreams to take care of our own and HAVE FUN in life, so having someone even slightly throw a " Oh look at what I have that you don't" eill make you feel down or upset.
****
If Artomis is a close friend, which it sounds like he is, let him know how you feel and reassure him that no matter what someone makes, it does not affect or have any bearing on your friendship. It may help

Then again I am just a playful wolgon who likes to make everyone happy. ***slides a chair under you and pushes you to a table, then runs to grab you some fresh made brownies**

Thanks, but the thing is he knows how much I care a out him, and no matter what happens I would be there to help him. And then he goes and says that.
It makes me wonder if he still cares about me. We used to be so close. We'd chat for hours on Skype, and go on SL almost every day, and now I barely get to see him once a day

they may be going through a down time..Maybe withdrawing in on themselves due to stress or being depressed.
Has he made any new friends you are aware of. Some times people meet new individuals and start to like the same things, which can lead to them drifting apart from there original companions. ??

No he was angry at his room mate, he finally contacted me. He was just upset and wasn't referring to me, or so he says. I have no knowledge of him making new friends. like I said he barely gets on enough to talk with me he works so hard
