Oh god oh god please someone talk me down

[(Anonymous)]

I just stepped out of my comfort zone and started chatting with some strangers online, at least one of whom I've admired for a week or so now, and I wound up in one of the worst possible case scenarios for meeting new people. For a while it was fine, but then due to a misunderstanding that was my fault (lack of full disclosure), they thought I might be another alias of someone who's been harassing them, and reacted appropriately. I know it was perfectly reasonable under the circumstances, but I'm freaking out so badly and I'm shaking and my stomach hurts and I need it to stop but I can't exactly unload that on these people I've just met...I don't know if I can ever even show my face to these people again, I'm so embarrassed and horrified and upset and it's my fault and oh god I'm going to vomit

Take a few deep breaths and, if possible, go for a nice walk for half an hour or so. You cannot control other people's misapprehensions. If it helps, try imagining a sitcom laugh track going along with this wacky misunderstanding. The previous sentence sounds like a joke and is not. Seriously imagine that, and it may make the situation less scary for you.

You are not the bad guy, you are not hurting anyone, this is just a dumb communication screwup that's not really your fault in any serious way. Most of human history is dumb communication screwups, so you're in good company.

Well first take deep breaths and drink some cool water, do something that you know relaxes you.

Now what you should do next really depends.
-If they said stuff that was really triggery for you, I would probably get away from where they are for a while to let things calm down for you and them. If it is truly too much to handle, you should probably stay clear of them from now on.
-If you think you can handle talking to them again, you can either do it one of two ways. You can re-talk to them again on the same account and fully explain the misunderstanding, OR, you can make a different account, if you can that is, and try again to get in with these people, making sure that you don't, or fully disclose, do whatever you did or said that made them go crazy.

Personally I would go with the make a new account route, though wait a few days for things to calm down again, because from what you described I doubt you can use the same account again without this same thing happening again. That's about all I got to say with the amount of information you've given us to go off of.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Thanks guys. I think I needed someone to inject some reason.

I stayed in chat, and told them why I was really there, because I admire the guy, and said that if they ever suspect me of being someone else I'd get on video chat. Now things seem to be going well *knock on wood*

Good to hear that. Now that you can prove who you are, you should be free of ever being the person to blame if something goes south again (not that you were in the first place), unless you do something to intentionally tick them off.
