help what do
my friend made a joke about my replies being short and now i'm in a shame spiral about how i can't talk and i'm useless in social relations. bc i never have anything to say and i'm just a burden on other people cuz they have to carry the conversation often. and now it feels like this whole relationship with this friend is ruined and i can't talk to him ever again, because i can't talk right and he knows it and i know it
he's neurodivergent (aspie) too and hes trying to comfort me, saying i have other strengths in conversation and i can talk a lot when it's something i have knowledge in, that he enjoys my company, etc. but none of this is helping and i still feel like i'm awful and the relationship is ruined. i'm aware that i'm reacting from emotions n not rationality, and i was feeling really awful today before this happened so that's prolly why i'm spiraling SO hard. but i cn't shake it at all
wht do i do. how do i crawl out of this hole i spiraled into. i'm going to take a shower now and hopefully that will help but i'm so lost
