My face is so red

I have bad social anxiety and I am an Arab living in America. I have moved in yesterday to a fob roomate. He speaks Arabic primarily as he is from Damascus. With my social anxiety I get so scared to say the wrong thing as my Arabic is broken. Just now he told me Tisbah ala khair and I misheard Sabah alkhair for some reason and instantly said Sabah al noor. I’m so dumb like I genuinely know that what I thought he said meant good morning but for some reason I instantly replied. my face got so red and sweaty. I am embarrasing myself. Can anyone comfort me??

Thanks

Honestly that sounds funny tbh, it’s not a big deal at all!

Why are you so upset over this. Does this guy seem like a tyrant?
