For context, it was my birthday recently, and I had been thinking of buying a lip tint. Now a few weeks before my birthday, I had a conversation with a friend over lip tints and I shared some that looked really nice because we have similar fashion tastes. She did not know it was my birthday until later on and I told her that she did not have to buy anything. So I genuinely forgot about the conversation when I had decided to buy a lip tint.
But my friend surprised me with the same one today and I panicked and admitted I had bought it. And it ended up with her saying she'd use it when she asked what to do with it. Which I felt absolutely awful but also would have felt guilty if I didn't end up using it.
Now in hindsight after my anxious panic, I know it's seen as really rude in general to not accept gifts and really regret my response. And I don't know what to do.
I apologized over text after class but I generally really get anxious easily and mull over mistakes for a long time.
I'm not sure if I've irreparably damaged my friendship over this.
TL;DR: Today I fucked up by rejecting a gift in panic and now in a mental crisis over whether I've ruined my friendship
