![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)

"if you're a Riddler supporter unfollow me NOW" He is a fictional character from Batman. Do people say the same thing about any of the other rogues? Are there people saying "if you support Two-Face, unfollow me NOW"???
LITERALLY like do you know how funny it would be if someone was like "if youre a Joker supporter unfollow me NOW" 😭
and i think its silly how they called us "supporters" like we would endorse these actions irl. like no... eddie is a guy from my movie and hes a deeply interesting character . not that theyll actually read the comics to understand him more but whatevs... kicks a rock
people think that we're just now realizing edward is a bad person . girl we knew since 2022. we dont CARE !!!
i wish everyone understood that edward losing focus of his main goal and ending up wanting to hurt as many people as possible because he believes everyone has wronged him in some way is like. The Point . its like his number one motive . judgement day . Hello. HELLO. IS THIS THING ONNNNNNN
