This was unfortunate for the young man. I would have asked "what do you mean by 'freaked out.?' Then had a fruitful discussion and decide if this listener/friend can be reformed from her loose-tongued ways. If he leaves it undefined, he is left to his own definition; which will likely be quite toxic. This type of comment can leave a "time-line moment" that could bother him for some time. I once helped a young adult who had a fiancee say something similar. This had to be clarified immediately. Cheers, Tim
