I feel really bad

So yesterday we had this man come and put a bottom in for our gas, so if we had a gas leek I could turn it off. He was trying to explain it to me and I did get the jist but because of his broken English I was a little confused at what he had to come back and do. today we had another man come in to do the doors and he told us that the gas man was coming back and did he explain it to us. I said yeah he tried to explain it to me but I got a bit confused, and he said all judgemental “what could you not understand him” I said “oh no no, it’s just I didn’t understand what it all was”, now I feel horrible! Do I look racist? It wasn’t that I couldn’t understand him bless, he was trying so hard I just didn’t get what I wasn’t meant to be doing. And now I’m scared it looks racist or something he was really judgemental of me. Is it? Did I say something wrong?

Your not racist at all… the fact your scared of being racist proves you aren’t… can you help me with my HOCD posts…?

@Givenup Thank you, I hope I don’t look it like I didn’t mean it like it sounded. It was just a confusing moment. Of course I can!

@Givenup I’ve read the posts and I’ve also in the past read similar things and even had a similar situation. There’s this really good YouTube video but Chrissy Hodges on SO-OCD, and masterbation and ocd, she explains it better than I could and really helps with any form of ocd that you have to feel heard and recognised. I’d give her a watch!

Convinced myself of something bad

Basically when I was drunk I was flirting with this guy I usual flirt with he was telling me that nothing could happen because he’s friends with my cousin, so I got really close to him and said oh resllr so you don’t want me, and I can’t remember what he said but I then kissed his like cheek or near his ear to like flirt with him and I’ve convinced myself because he said he couldn’t that basically I’ve harassed him. I left him alone after we’d finished talking but I’m so worried that me sorta going are you sure to him because he kept saying “maybe one day but right now I can’t” and saying “it’s not that I don’t want to” But I’m really scared that I’ve done something wrong. I keep picturing me kissing his cheek and him going like ugh fuck off when I don’t think that happened? I just have the worst anxiety around it right now

Help I made a mistake

I have a job doing social media for a company that prides itself on making diverse titles, but I messed up. I made a post about Arab American Heritage Month for a book about Ramadan, but I looked at it today, 22 hours after I posted it, and saw that 3 people commented that the creators aren’t Arabic and that we were wrong to assume all Arabic people are Muslim. I feel like a huge idiot and so awful that I made such an egregious error and hurt people. I don’t know what to do. One of the authors reached out to me and I responded with apologies but what if I get fired and what if this makes me a terrible person and a racist. I changed the post and decided to ask my boss tomorrow (Monday) how to respond to the comments but what if I’m making the wrong choice and everything is worse now. I’m trying to spend Easter with my family (a trip that’s already insanely difficult for my ocd) but I can’t stop checking my phone and ruminating. Please help

Advice for when someone says hurt them

Hey, yesterday my ex told me something I did that hurt them. This was that I didnt respond in a supportive way when he came out to me. I genuinely had no idea he was coming out (I thought it was a flippant comment) and I was frustrated as we had been having issues with intimacy for months. He said it made him feel awful and it’s only since telling his friends that he has realised how painful my reaction was. I apologised as I do feel awful I made him feel that way but now I keep questioning my reality or perception of what happened. I also keep wanting to reach out to explain why I responded the way I did. Any tips for when you genuinely feel like a monster or did something so outside of your morals? I feel awful
