My boyfriend and I have been riding together to a social event that takes place every Wednesday, but last Wednesday we had an issue.
I do everything I can to be social with others and outgoing, but that day I felt this terrible social anxiety. I explained to him what happened, but before that he said I was rude (and I can see that). At the same he said this " if you are going to act that way again, then we will ride separately."
I understand him being upset, but he said it again after I told him about my anxiety. I told him ok I will ride on my own.
Today is Wednesday and I was thinking what to say if he texts me "I'm picking you up" as if he never banned me from his car. Is this the kind of thing you just let go? Or should I say "no" until he says I'm sorry?
I don't want to sound prideful but What can I say? That will not create an argument and will also let him know that he can't just want me in his life when things are good but also in the bad moments.
( there's also the chance that he will not even text me)

So he scolded you because of your social anxiety? Wow that doesn't sound nice at all, especially since you've explained to him what's your problem. I think this thing needs to be addressed.. I'd try to talk to him again about this (before any other major social event shows up), hoping he will understand this time..

A certain amount of pride is healthy, it shows that you have dignity and self respect.

Were you rude because you had bad anxiety? Did you tell him this? Did you apologize to whomever you were rude to? He didn't need to make the comment about different cars but I also believe in picking your battles if the anxiety doesn't happen often. What if you just text him to see when he'll be picking you up? Good luck and best wishes.

I don't know since how long you have been with him but I didn't find his attention very supportive. Unless you made a huge scene and was unkind to certain people I don't think there's any point to feel bad or apologise.
For now I am single and I know one of the most important quality of the next man that I would want in my life is to be supportive and kind.
Thanks for this!
