Why did he make a fuss about me unfriending him?

Anonymous

So me and a guy have been talking for about 2 months. We live in the same area and have mutual friends. Anyway we have just been talking as friends and getting to know each other and flirting back and forth. Recently I unfriended him because he was ignoring my messages and being ignored irks me on another level. He confronted me about and he got really really angry and said that it upset him. He apologized and explained to me how his days get filled up with zoom meetings as he's a teacher and how he doesn't feel like talking to people some days because he gets depressed. I don't know if I buy it but he did sound genuine and apologetic. anyway why would a man get so upset over a women unfriending him if he's not even headed in the direction of a relationship with her?
