My brain has been hamstring about this recently.. so I was playing games with a few friends of mine in discord and suddenly one of them(who I don’t know very well) says “you know your not bad despite what everyone else says.” He says this well the other two people who I’m close with are in there as well. Immediately i was thrown off guard, I noticed there was kinda awkward silence and I noticed my two friends try to play it off but I got a sense that they really did talk shit after I noticed their reactions to his statement. So I wanted to ask without seeming butthurt so I asked in a joking way who’s been talking shit? Didn’t get an answer so I asked the dude who said that but he never replied to me. I haven’t really talked to them since but the reason this upset me is because one of those two friends of mine is someone who I look up to and is someone who was there for me when I was younger so it hurts to imagine he was talking shit. Plus recently we all had s conversation which I could definitely see being where they could find parts to talk shit about because it’s funny at my expense. Normally I get over stupid shit like this but I need to now do I just straight up ask and seem butthurt? I know this post is stupid and it could all be a big misunderstanding and s waste of time but I want to hear some advice.
