![My boyfriend (18m) drew me (18f), and I made a joke about it. Now he feels terrible and won’t calm down—how do I fix this?
So, I [18F] asked my boyfriend [18M] to draw me a while back, and recently he decided to give it a shot. We’ve been dating for 7 months. He’s not super confident in drawing people and used a dry erase board for it. When he showed me the sketch, I immediately noticed it highlighted a couple of things I’m insecure about—like my shoulders and stomach. But instead of being upset, I found it kind of funny and joked about how he managed to capture all my insecurities perfectly. I wasn’t serious, just trying to be playful.
Well, he didn’t take it the way I expected. He started apologizing over and over, saying he didn’t mean to upset me and that he thought those parts of the drawing looked nice. I reassured him that I wasn’t offended at all, but he seemed really shaken by it.
Later, he started panicking, telling me he’d been worrying all day and blaming himself for some nightmares I had (which honestly had nothing to do with the drawing—it was just my mental state). I’ve tried to explain that I was just joking and that it wasn’t a big deal, but he still feels awful.
How can I make him feel better and understand that I wasn’t actually hurt? I don’t want him to carry this guilt over something that was meant to be lighthearted. Any advice on how to approach this?
Here’s the drawing - https://imgur.com/gallery/drawing-6vU0UyL](https://64.media.tumblr.com/9d2e0fdac253601ae94fccfa222182e5/07b9dc5ff9198948-a4/s500x750/f8cc85929f97270b9da530c2dea002013e5be3c3.png)

a custom commission for @cre0sote! i had a lot of fun making this one, and i'll definitely experiment with different kinds of art dolls in the future. also i swear she has a right side, i was just in a bit of a hurry with the photos so she ended up only facing left.
Guy came up to me and yelled so loudly that it made me jump. All caps isn't enough I need wordart to describe how loud he was. This was not "I can't tell I'm being loud" this was "In another life I was the town crier" loud. Hear ye hear ye loud. He was friendly, but holy crap
btw if i haven't replied to your messages and you see me posting on here that's just cause i'm a bad person and a terrible friend. hope that clears things up.
