help me, some of you seem very bright and wise.
how do you tell a friend that you don't want to be his friend anymore?
unless he does some serious soul-searching/self-revision?
my heart is breaking. I need advice.

If you want to tell him you don't want to be his friend any more then you are not a friend to begin with.

I think you can do it two ways.
One is the method mentioned above. Stop calling, making plans, hanging out. When the friend calls, just act like you feel, uninterested.
The other way is a confrontation, but I think people understand that friends come and go, and change, and that that is ok, and you aren't pulling any back stabbing shit or anything, you two have gone different ways.
I'd keep it simple and just not really interact with the person anymore, and if you are forced to, act like you feel, indifferent and uninterested.

if you want to end a friendship, or at least radically change the nature of a friendship, all you have to do is lovingly but firmly grip his genitalia.

so i guess we need more information about what's going on to comment meaningfully on your situation. you may very well have been the best friend that you could be, and yet have reached the limits of your tolerance. anyone who has been friends with people who are manipulative, violent, or have certain personality disorders knows this.
i've had to do this twice, by the way. one was a chronic liar who was frequently very disrespectful and may or may not have assaulted his girlfriend, and the other asked me to help him obtain some e so he could secretly dose a girl in an attempt to exploit her sexually. as you get to know people, you might get to know things that you can't accept, and there's nothing wrong with moving on.
do not burden yourself with guilt or regrets.

Your first personal topic, and hopefully your LAST.
Ho ho ho, just joshin' ya. Hope you can jettison him with little hassle/heartache. Just avoid him and do your own and he'll get the message in due time, I've done that/had that done to me before.

it's just so odd we've been such good, firm friends since august when I moved here
now he almost seems to be someone else... I fear he's turning into someone I don't like

it's very simple really: approach it quite like a girl unexpectedly and savagely dumping her boyfriend for seemingly no apparent reason, though as a means to make it all seem "better", as if no real harm is being done, instead of the stereotypical breakup line of "i hope we can still be friends", since this is not a relationship situation, just say "i'm sorry. i don't think we ought to hang out anymore. you're a cunted bastard! i hope i will never have to see the likes of you again!" upon which you ougt to proceed to slam the door shut in his face (if there is one available).

How about a good, old fashioned homoerotic advance on his person, thus scaring him away. If this backfires and he happens to be gay though, you're fucked.

The comedy value would be through the roof then :D
Seriously, in what way is he changing, do you just not like the person he is becoming, or is just turning into a shit anyway?
