So when my one friend broke up with her boyfriend, she texted me and my two other friends in a group conversation saying that. In response, I tried to make her feel better about it. I think I said something like, 'I know how you feel, it'll be okay.' She asked me how I knew how it felt, considering I've never had a boyfriend, and I don't remember what I said. But now, her and my other friend keep bugging me about it. They think that I was talking about getting my heart broken and want to know who it was. Maybe I did say that, but it was just me using the wrong words, because I only meant to be supportive. What do I tell them? I don't want them to think I lied, but they won't stop bothering me as it's making me stressed.
I hope this made sense.
How do I solve this dumb conflict between me and my friends?

dear larkscall, i believe that your friends are being a bit unfair to you. What you did was completely an immediate response to somebody who needs comforting and she took it the wrong way. Friends are suppose to believe each oher, not the other way around. You were simply empathizing with her feelings, not emphasizing that you already experienced having a boyfriend and broke up with him. You don't get your heart broken by just breaking up alone, there are a lot of things that can break our hearts. Now, this is what i can say. If they're really true friends, they'll eventually believe you. But if after a long time, they're still bugging you with this imaginary guy, then try to explain to them the situation, being the good friend who is afraid to lose the friendship over petty matters. I guess this girls are your best buds? If they still won't believe you even after all the drama, then drop the issue off. you deserve friends who will believe in you, not doubt your honesty. Best of luck, hun.
