If I pull my friends hair in anger and she gives me a black eye am I stupid to forgive her?

Why would you do that in the first place? It sounds like you have anger issues if you resort to being physical with someone because you are mad. It isn't right of her to relatiate unless it is necessary to get you to stop. Also what kind of "friend" would do that to another "friend". To me that doesn't sound very much like you are friends if you would attack each other. It sounds more like you need some sort of counseling to deal with your anger issues. I think that is the bigger problem here than whether you should forgive her for defending herself against your assault out of anger. You need to deal with that part before thinking about forgiving her or whether you two should even be friends after that.

No. Do violence? Risk receiving violence. Predictable possible outcome. It's a good thing to talk it out and find closure.

You hurt someone then they hurt you back. They didn't do anything wrong
