I've a friend that jokes about my death a lot I mean a lot like everyday he says something like "hahaha I hope you bastard get hit by a car and die die die!!"
something like that almost every single day. Sometimes he says I choke to something or somebody rapes me, beats me up, anything basically.
Lately I've been thinking should I be worried or something like about him? or about myself?
what I should do? I was thinking to tell him to stop joking like that usually he says "I was just joking"

Hello,
I hate to say this but...some people just have such a weird humor. I mean it is not uncommon for people to make outlandish jokes however if he is doing it everyday like you said he is. I say you need to talk to him and tell him that you really don't find his jokes funny because truth be told, you don't find them funny. Sure friends say shit and it means nothing and I am sure this is the case right now. However you need to just say to him that you don't find his jokes funny and that he should layoff on the whole "it would be funny if you were hit by a car" stuff because truthfully they are bordering on insulting.
Evidently I think your friend just has a weird sense of humor but you need to tell him that these jokes are starting to annoy and alarm you and that if it continues then you might no longer view him as a friend.

I know some people have weird sense of humor I got too. But I don't understand why would anyone joke about someones death specially when it's your friend. And for me it's highly possible everyday cuz I ride my motorbike.
Idk what to do. Maybe I tell him to stop doing it

Some people find it funny and because you admit yourself that you have a bit of a weird sense of humor he probably thinks you understand and won't take offense to what he says.
Plus since you haven't said anything to him at all about it, he probably thinks you are okay with it.
You should speak to him about it if it bothers you though.

Umm I don't think it's humor if he says it everyday. Honestly it depends on how he says it! If he has a strong tone, it means he really means what he says, but if his tone isn't that strong, but kinda weak and a sense of sarcasm in it, then he doesn't mean what he says. But honestly I wouldn't want to be with a friend who wants me to die anyways! You should think carefully whether you wanna still be friends with him.

Yeah, if it bothers you don't be afraid to tell him that. If he is a real friend he should be able to take your criticisms and improve himself from them.

That sounds like maybe he isn't a real friend. I mean, it's possible that he just has a weird sense of humour, but do you honestly believe that? Talk to him, but if he keeps it up then maybe you should ditch him. He doesn't sound like that good of a friend to be honest.

Tell him it's starting to get on your nerves. One friend of mine referred to me as bitch or trick whenever she saw me. Hearing someone scream "hey bitch!" every morning as a greeting got old quick.
Just try to tell him you'd like him to stop/lay off, whichever you prefer. You could probably tell him why too, since being on a motorbike makes all the accidents he's saying a possible reality all the more scary. Give him something else to joke about if he must be the funny guy, maybe rocks.

Just tell him straight that it creeps you out, and that you feel hurt and kinda threatened.

Just tell him that you understand that some people have odd sense of humor but could you please stop with the death jokes its really getting to me. or something like that...
Some people say things like that and dont realise what its doing to the other person.
