Not accusing you of anything but I can't help but feel like there's more to this story. I've been in a couple of relationships with people where there was an unspoken conflict. It's hard to keep track of all of the shit to when you let it build up. Some people can't keep track of it and get confused and then don't know what to think, and have to pin it down for the sake of their sanity (I feel like a psychiatrist) maybe this is whats happening? btw both of these unspoken conflicts I was talking about ended up in physical fights. and both instances it was people that we're supposed to be my friend, and in the other case family...and we ACTED like that for a long time...they were slowly driving me to my boiling point with little snood comments that they sneak into a night or me hearing about them talking shit. lol I still think I was innocent...but yeah one dude ended up getting rocked and the other would have if my friend didn't break it up.I have this theory that thhe innocent people pack harder punches...maybe it's bs idk anyway this turned into a ramble about my life sorry man...good luck with that dude. though I think even if you try to talk about it with him it might escelate into something else...but maybe not. maybe the point of no return

well if the dude had no idea why he was upset that is kind of weird.

He sounds schizophrenic
Isn't bipolar manic-depressive? This is definitely not that.
Yeah I was saying I doubt it's that, I know lots of people that are bi-polar and they are just so up and down its pretty sad to watch. Never aggressive.
Schizophrenia seems to fit best from my brief research, op how old is the friend?
He is 20, the age where latent mental illness tend to express itself.

We have tripped together once over a year ago, it ended up being a bad trip for him. He took MXE once this year also.
Ive known him going on 3 years now, lived with him the past two school years. He was never like this before but he was always a space case. Before this incident I was noticing schizophrenic like symptoms: Casually bringing up reading peoples thoughts, Sitting in the chair rocking back and forth for hours on end with nothing on TV while im on my laptop listening to music, laughing out of nowhere..

Yeah that sounds like schizophrenia or something similar. If he gets crazy when he drinks that is probably a sign that something is wrong. The reason I brought up the psychedelic thing is that it can bring out that mental condition more. Sometimes I hear about people taking a psychedelic once and it's a wrap. Psychedelics are generally safe but if you have a latent (comes up later in life) mental condition it can show up sooner than expected and not as smoothly of a transition either. If he was worse after doing it that could have been the trigger for something else. Psychedelics do help people but there is a small group of people that it does the complete opposite.

Sounds like when i had my worst trip ever on acid, i never thought people were in my head, but everything that happened outside of the world was fucking with my head and keeping me from perfecting the acidified utopia i was building up in my brain.

Yeah dude, it sounds like something happened to him between the time he tripped and whenever he started with the odd behavior. I am not a doctor but have been around people with drug induced psychosis. You should keep a eye on him until he gets help because he might try to cut himself and shit.

It sounds very similar to my bad acid trip as well.

at least he's being honest
but dude you seem mad shadey, I mean I just know your screen name, you could be making this up right now...
so anyway you can't tell me you haven't been pressuring him at all for him to come up with that
lets say you didn't, you definitely fit the arche type of someone who did and that's what you need to realize when you make gay innuendo's about him and give off the I'm not going to take it vibe when he's sitting quietly in his room...
as long as he isn't racist or anything crazy you're probably fine

if all you are saying is true then your friend needs to get some help. The sooner the better.

I seem mad shady? WTF is this shit right here? I broke down to him once a few weeks ago telling him I was worried for him and stuff. Ive been doing the best I can to let him know that these thoughts are all in his head, i think thats why he associates me with being the one in control of his mind or whatever, because ive been talking to him about his thoughts..

Is he going to class? And doing school?
If no just call his parents or better yet one of siblings and tell em he's freaking the fuck out. As some one who has spent quite a bit of time around "crazy" people, him having a fixation on you like that is not good. If he truly believes you're trying to hurt him he will lash out eventually. I don't know if you care but you're asking for trouble, assuming he continues on with associating his distress directly with you

He goes to class but I dont think he retains anything. He'll spend his day at the library and when he comes back I ask if he got any work done and its always " not really"

I would call one of his siblings if you can and tell them. I mean you could just call the police when he is having an episode and it sounds like they would be forced to remove him if he truly believes what he's telling you. But that doesn't sound like what you want, and there is a high possibility he will come back no different than when he left. You're in a tough spot but people like that are not to be underestimated, even the most timid person can do terrible things if they feel like they're in a corner.

sounds like he needs some space from you op. it may be true what you said about you trying to help him and him being convinced you were just trying to get in his head. maybe it would be best to leave him be and not ask him anymore questions about his well being, or of anything for that matter..
he might realize later on that it was all in his head. let him feel normal for a change, even if he may not seem like it.
i actually knew a dude who acted the exact same way, mostly only when he drank or smoked weed. he never accused me of anything but he did laugh at random moments for no particular reason and when he talked it was mostly jibberish, just out of touch. anyway this guy is currently in prison for 2 years for attacking his dad and leaving him blind from one eye.. seems like he had some issues with his dad though and he just couldn't take it anymore. he was never violent but something in him just snapped. yea man, i'd definitely lay low for a while and not ask him a anything about his mentality.

All of you amateur psychologists trying to diagnose this kid is funny.
He just sounds a little stressed out, probably having a panic attack and got really confused. Maybe under a lot of pressure? Maybe someone has been fucking with him and doesn't want to admit it? You should be supporting him and trying to help/heal him rather than making fun. It can be disturbing to witness someone having a breakdown, but imagine if it was you, and you were ultra-confused and someone was just making it worse by shunning or being you feel uncomfortable. Try to be nice to him, take some time to talk to him like a real person next time. Pretend it's you best friend.
