He didn’t mean it in a mean way, I’d been overexcited about showing our friends a movie I like and it got close to the end and I was unable to stop and he really didn’t mean to upset me but I’ve spent the last several hours repeating in my head to be normal and suppressing any stimming which made me tic and stutter more because I was anxious which just started a cycle of it
