Someday, I know it can be confusing to be put on the spot, but honestly, you didn't do anything weird.
By regular coffee, you probably meant, not decaffeinated. That's one meaning of "regular" in regard to coffee; another, especially in a coffee shop, is with milk and sugar. So what you said was perfectly sensible.
Maybe some anti-anxiety or social anxiety meds would help you regain just that slight bit of confidence that would help you realize that you were fine-- that you were thinking one thing, an entirely rational and understandable thing-- even if they were thinking another.
Happens all the time. Social anxiety can be treated, both with meds and therapy. Have you tried a group, by any chance? That might be a good place to work on some of those issues.
