The Right Way To Look at The World

I've been watching the first season of The White Lotus and for those unfamiliar with the show, it follows a few rich families as they spend their time at a resort in Hawaii. Each family is massively flawed though one particularly caught my attention due to their conversations. The mother is a CEO of a multinational cooperation, the father is unknown but makes less than her, son is addicted to pornography and screens, and daughter is a drug addict with insane jealousy issues.

I'm having a hard time falling asleep. I keep thinking about what I said to my friend. I indirectly insulted him without even thinking about it. He reacted by telling me he felt insulted but I blew it off thinking he was just joking around. I replay the event in my head over and over and don't know if I should apologize or not. 

The reason I would apologize is because I like my friend and don't want him to think I think poorly of him. 

The reason I wouldn't apologize is because I don't want to come off as clingy or super nice to the point where he can say whatever he wants and I am always walking on eggshells. Another reason is sometimes I blow things like this way out of proportion and will think someone hates me for something I said but when I see them it's totally fine. Another confirmation of this is him texting me, asking me about a date I went on.

Still, the thought has been on my mind for the last day and half since it happened. I'll probably end up bringing it up.
