You're panicking and giving up over a MINOR social mistake. The type that even NTs have been known to make.
Perhaps he was just looking for a reason to give up? I do this sometimes. Well, quite often...the latest case being a group of friends I've cut off, because I find it so hard to figure out where I am with them. Two of them have taken a real disliking to me, but the others invite me out every now and again. I tend to lug people into a category and give up. I'm sure lots of aspies here can identify with this!
