TIFU by not knowing how to talk to sad people

Warning, this isn’t a happy post this has a sort of good ending but it’s not happy also obligatory happened yesterday not today’sMy friend invited me to a party because it was to bring a date, so after school we went and it was going well until eventually she kinda started looking visibly sad funny thing is I’m really good at telling people’s emotions and having no idea how to deal with themSo I tried to just joke around and brush it off but eventually she broke down in front of me, everyone else was too loud and annoying to notice so I walked outside with her to find out she hasn’t been eating lately so I held her for a while and told her to wait a minute and I brought her some stuff to eat and asked her if she would be ok with just eating while I sat next to her and talked, idk I guess I thought she would be more comfortable with it, but it workedI feel like if I was a better communicator I could just help her better, but I’m shit soTL;DR by not knowing how to talk to sad people and having my anorexic friend break down in front of me.
