Did I mess it up with my Gem?

Hi...New Here

I think my Gem was trying to open up to me about a personal situation and I froze. Simply because, I was totally not ready or expecting him to open up like that. There was silence between us for a few minutes
then I broke it by bringing up something hilarious He had done on New Years Eve. He laughed...I laughed and that was the end of that. Since then he has been running from hot/warm/cold. I don't know how to react or even if I'm supposed to. I noticed his twin has been out in full "In your face" the last few days and I know it's due to his current personal situation. He is very tired. When he starts pacing and restless I simply give him his space.
Am I handling him wrong?
Should I give him space or try to get him to talk to me about it whats going on in that mind of his?

The thing he is dealing with is the exact same situation that I came out of a year ago. It was very painful which is why I froze up on him.
He's a little disappointed in me right now or at how I handled it, but I think in time when I have the opportunity to explain myself I know he
will understand. I feel like I'm suppossed to help him out of this situation and just be there for him to give him support. Right now he's stuck but, I don't know how much longer I can take seeing him on this rollercoaster he's on...sigh.

I didn't mean to laugh at him, it wasn't like that. I was trying to get his mind off of it and at the same time I really didn't know how to respond. I was concerned that I might say the wrong thing. He's very sensitive. ( His moon is in cancer.)
