Is he trying to get back at me or be spiteful?

I’ve been talking to this guy off and on for a year. He replied to an Instagram story I posted of myself and I didn’t reply. Not purposely but I just didn’t think it warranted a reply.

Then 2 days later I accidentally messaged him (my phone was in my pocket) and I apologized. He was pretty passive aggressive and said it’s ok we don’t talk anyways.

So today, I asked him what he was doing later to see maybe if we could hang out and he leaves me on read.

I don’t get it? Is he annoyed that I didn’t reply to him or is he trying to play games with me?

No way to know for certain could be either one. One way to find out, flat out ask him. If he says no and it continues, does it really matter whether or not it's intentional then?

I had a woman message me an answer after asking her a question. I didn't respond back as I had the answer. The next day she got mad at me because I said nothing else. I apologized and even said, "oh I didn't know you wanted to keep talking". So I messaged her something and then she ignored me.🤣

All you can do is be honest you can't beat yourself up for misunderstandings (they happen) or other people's deep suspicions if they don't make you aware of them. I fully admit I have trust issues. That's why I make it known so she can expect that. It's also why I wouldn't intentionally raise distrust in another.

You are reading way too much into it. Responding to stories isn't communication. He doesn't want to hang out with you.
