<human>: First off (this is relevant), friend is gay, I'm bi. I've been in the closet for a long time but over the past couple months my friend helped me come to terms with who I am and really helped me accept myself. It was nice finally having someone to be able to speak openly with about a lot of things I kept to myself that I thought I'd never be able to talk to someone about. 

We spoke through text most days (I've been out of town for a while), not always long conversations but just about normal things: life, stress, that one coworker you can't stand, that great show/movie you caught the other day, that sort of thing. Sometimes it would get into heavier or more serious stuff, but I wouldn't say that was any big percentage of our conversation.

A few days back I got a message saying something along the lines of "hey I don't think it's a good idea to keep texting each other as much". I was pretty taken aback since we hadn't fought or anything, but eventually asked why, and never got a response. 

I just feel sort of empty, like I just wasn't worth keeping around, or he put up with me for a while then just decided he didn't like me enough to be friends. The alternative that has crossed my mind is that he's started dating someone, or specifically doesn't want to date me, and doesn't want to give anyone the wrong idea. But if that were the case I don't understand why it's necessary to end the friendship entirely. I didn't have many people in my life before, and this was an awful way to end an already crappy week. So I guess my question is, what should I do? Was this my fault and I just didn't notice something was off?

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: Friend randomly asked via text that we not be in close contact anymore, and I'm not sure why or how to react.
