meaning-in-context

What is the meaning of "quite" in the following sentence?

"You are quite from me."

My college classmate sent me a message after a while that I didn't see and talked to him. In this message he asked me "how are you?" then I told him that I'm Ok and asked him politely the same. He answered me that he's Ok as well and then wrote me "You are quite from me."

Iv'e checked in Cambridge dictionary and I didn't understand which of the interpretations to choose. Also, based on this dictionary it is an adverb rather than adjective then I cannot understand how such sentence can be.

I think he meant to say quiet to me? It's VERY common for English speakers to misspell quiet as quite. That makes sense based on your comments. I think he was basically trying to say

you've been quiet

as in I haven't heard from you in a while. I see this word frequently misspelled in Facebook posts, memes, texts, threads, forums, Twitter, etc. Sometimes it's due to auto correct, and others it's simple misspelling. I could be wrong in my assumption, but I'm basing that off your comments.
