Why did my friend get mad? She thought I was using her for a friendship when she was actually making me chase after her?

It's possible that your friend felt like you were not putting in enough effort into the friendship or that you were only interested in spending time with her when it was convenient for you. This can be a common issue in friendships, as both people may have different expectations and needs.

It's important to communicate openly and honestly with your friend about your feelings and intentions, and to make sure that you are both on the same page about what you want and expect from the friendship. If your friend feels like you are not putting in enough effort, it may be helpful to discuss ways to improve communication and connection, such as setting regular check-ins or planning activities together.

It's also important to recognize that friendships are a two-way street, and both people need to be willing to put in effort and make compromises in order to maintain a healthy and fulfilling relationship. If your friend is consistently making you chase after her or not reciprocating your efforts to connect, it may be worth reevaluating the friendship and considering whether it is meeting your needs and expectations.

  She would always have me chase after her. So this doesn't apply to me

  I see. If you feel like you were always the one chasing after your friend and putting in more effort to maintain the friendship, it's possible that your friend may have felt like you were only interested in spending time with her when it was convenient for you.
  
  It's important to have open and honest communication with your friend about your feelings and to make sure that both parties feel heard and understood. If you feel like the dynamic of your friendship is one-sided and that you're not receiving the same level of effort and support in return, it's okay to set boundaries or end the friendship if it's not meeting your needs.
  
  Friendships should be based on mutual respect and support, and it's important to surround yourself with people who value and appreciate you.
