Did I overreacted?

[Anonymous]

I was talking with friends about photos in instagram. And I asked “why y'all don’t like posting in instagram?” And they said “there are no point. Posting is for someone not for yourself”. And one of them added “different people post in social media, for example girls that often post themselves in open closes just prostitutions that look for clients, so they have purpose to post”. It made me mad, and I said “it’s weird saying such things, you’re filmmaker and if I will say that I associate directors with pdf files is it okay for you?” “And he said “that is true and I don’t care”. I like posting my photos and I have some in bikini and he’s words made me feel mad and that’s why I conflicted with him. But when I conflict with someone I feel overwhelmed and cry after. I went home when I calm down a little bit. But probably I overreacted and people say stuff in general and there no purpose of having conflict with other person opinion and feeling sad about it and associate myself with their words.
I feel like, maybe I wasn’t wrong but maybe I overreacted?

He didn’t specifically say you’re one of those women, it doesn’t even sound like he said only those kinds of women use the app, he just gave an example of the accounts he sees. You took it upon yourself to turn it into some sort of personal attack when that’s not what he seemed to be trying to do. So yeah, I’d say it was a bit of an overreaction because in that instance you really didn’t need to apply his logic to yourself.

Should I say sorry?

Some people who get burnt out around sensetive people become overly bold. I don't think either of you were necessarily right or wrong but it sounds like the kind of response that comes after some buildup.

It is a normal thing so do whatever you like.
