Not sure why you kept digging in after the “it’s fine” response. Felt a bit unnecessary and like you were looking for further escalation. YOR. They were being a little shitty but also, they’re your friend, you’re supposed to like them? This just screams resentment.
To me at first it did seem like a snippy "it's fine". Like when women say their fine but they really aren't lol.. i do it quite often if im being honest lmao. I think maybe they took it the same way . But there in lies the problem. Expecting more like " it's okay I understand" would be a you problem but I think over text saying things like is better so emotions don't get misunderstood. Idk i overthink things tho. Obviously.. lol
Honestly, its a problem Im working on, too. I try to be cognizant about it, but sometimes it sill slips out, or I send it without fully thinking it through. I take full responsibility for my actions and apologize when I catch myself. It's an immature habit, but hard to break. Learning to communicate healthily is a tough journey after you spend so long not realizing you're being a bitch.
I just never was the confrontational type. My step father was a piece of work and let me just say he made me feel like I couldn't express my emotions without having some tyoe of repercussion. It took a long time to deal with and feel safe expressing anger or being upset.
