I’m so embarrassed right now. I tried to help someone feel better but I guess it kind of backfired? Basically someone randomly vented in my group chat and no one else was really responding, so I tried to help them by reassuring them and giving advice, but it sounded a bit dismissive and wasn’t super comforting so 3 people left after. I tried asking someone if what I said was wrong and they criticized me which just made me feel worse. I know I didn’t type anything terrible and it was obvious I had good intent but I’m embarrassed and mad that people would leave so suddenly. I was having a terrible day and couldn’t think straight and just wanted to help someone. :/
