I feel like I’m ruining my friendships because of my current mental state?

[Anonymous]

On my mind lately is about what happened to me and my bestfriend, I am teaching her to drive a car, and she suddenly pops out this thought in her head, she said to me that our other friend asked her who's teaching her to drive, that friend told my name askingly to her, then she jokingly responded "what choice do I have?" when she said that to me, I took it the wrong way, I took it seriously, when knowing her that she just joke around like that specially to me, then when we were on a stop I told her that what she said hurt me then I just cried, she's telling me that she was sorry, I didn't explain to her why I did cry, we just drove home. Me thinking that everything was alright that time, everything is resolve like that, then after she got home, I go straight to the gym then I started to overthink what happened, thinking back of my actions I think it was just too shallow of me of what I did, I felt like I made her feel bad about herself, knowing that she was just joking around me and I took it seriously. That is what my thought is running right now, I want to grow as a person and want to be a person for myself and the people I care about but I think I'm in a depressive state right now and the people I care about, and my relationship to these people that I consider as family are being affected by my state right now.

It looks as if you are a very emotional person that easily gets offended by other people's comments. You have to try to get over that issue because you are going to get offended very often in life and if you can't cope with those moments, you are heading into a very difficult time ahead of you.

Your best friend does not seem to know you too well otherwise, she would have refrained from making that statement, knowing how you react to potentially conflicting comments.

Check with a specialist how you can try to overcome your current mental state. You are doing yourself a disfavor if you leave it the way it is. Good luck.

Try to find out why her comment hit you the way that it did? What emotion did it trigger? Disappointment? Anger? Etc? And try to deal with that.

When you’re low, your brain becomes your own worst critic. Rest and recharge.

You’re sabotaging yourself.
