My friend played a prank on me, he made conference calls to me several times and forwarded me onto a stranger while staying silent himself - ive been clueless as to who had been issuing these conference calls for about 2 months now and ive been very honest and open with him about my suspicion that it was him
he had denied it for those 2 months and yesterday decided to tell me that it WAS him afterall, and provided evidence because i would hesitate to believe him
He knows i was racking my brain out to find out who it was
it was him and his friend who were listening to see my reaction to speaking to a complete stranger on the phone
i feel a little humiliated seeing as though he had used me to get a few giggles...but also because he included his friend aswel, whom i dont even know
should i be angry with him because he had done this or should i let it go?

Dont be angry!!!
Get even its your turn to rack your brains to get him back then you'll be equal!!!
He probably didnt think you would not find it as funny as he was...
Get in touch with Scott Mills on radio 1 he is great at getting people back

What it comes down to, is how YOU feel. No-one can be expected to understand this situation well. I have a feeling even you feel confused by what happened.
The bottom line is that you didn't like it. You felt "a little humiliated", probably an understatement?
He's your friend, but that doesn't mean he has the right to make you feel like this.
I don't think you should let it go. It has upset you, and that will flare up again in the future.
Getting angry is not your only option. If you can be very honest and open with him about suspecting it was him, then you should find it as easy to be very honest and open with him about how it made you feel. Just tell him exactly what you've told all of us, and let him know you feel humiliated and hurt. Stress that you won't forgive any other such pranks. Be firm, and don't fall for excuses or sweet-talk.
Based on what happens after that, you can either move on alone, or in a more secure friendship.
Don't put up with anything that humiliates you just for fun. But before you get angry, make sure your feelings are totally understood. If he can't respect them, there are still other options to anger - just erase him from your life!
Besides, if you are not angry now, don't wish it on yourself by asking people to tell you that you should be! Anger is not a positive emotion and can hurt you too.

Yes you should be angry with him - he is not a true friend. True pals laugh with you not at you..
A prank is doing it once and fessing up - this was a form of bullying - he carried it on even although he knew that it was causing you anxiety..
He obviously has little regard for you - making you the straight guy in this saga.. ditch him as a pal and just tell him you don't need pals like him..leave it at that.
Sorry about what you went through - those kind of calls are not pleasant.

i would be pissed, but just a little. i could understand playing a prank on someone, but what he did was beyond that. after 2 months of doing the same thing and getting his friends to listen in, it was no longer a prank, he was using you for entertainment. that is not something that you do to a friend. i would call him out on it and tell him how upset you are.

I get the impression that boys like playing tricks on each other. They don't seem to mind, and don't take it personally. Girls, on the other hand, do take things personally. He's treating you like one of the lads and you are not.
I don't know how close friends you are, so I'll give you two options.
Very close: Tell him how you feel. Seek some sort of apology and admission that it wasn't a nice thing to do to you, as you are not "one of the lads".
Not close, just one of many friends: Ignore it. Pretend you are not bothered. Further reactions may fuel their fun. Stay out of his way until your wounds have healed.

Take the higher ground and let it go. Pretend you are not bothered. He had the sense to own up to it after all. He probably won't do it again if you don't react how he expected you to. You can still be angry, but you don't have to let him know you are. However, if he does it again, its time for some serious dumping to occur!

He is a very sneaky friend. I would be angry but then shrug it off when I cooled down and let him know how I felt. It would put up a red flag in the future for trusing him.

Tell him, that you hope that he had fun on your expense. That you did not think it was funny, it was immature, and you do not think a real friend would do something like that to you. and hang up on him. let him stew on that! it will be okay to speak to him, but distance your self from him for a while, if he says anything, just say I need sometime, That I am still hurt!

Pretend you have forgot about it, and get him back bigtime. Post another question asking people for some idea's. Someone has got to come up with a good one.
All the best.
