Am I wrong or is she overreacting?

[tesscap21]

So last night a close friend of mine (since we were in elementary school) invited me over to her house for a fire. Everyone was drinking and having a good time. Toward the end of the night she came over to me and sat on me just kidding around, and the chair fell over and she fell on top of me and really hurt my arm, and somehow I busted my lip open too. Naturally I started crying because the pain was so bad (and I was a little drunk so I may have exaggerated a little, but I have a huge bruise on my arm today). Instead of asking if I was okay she got really mad at me and told everyone to leave because I ruined her night. Later on she texted me saying how she can't believe I acted like that and humiliated her, and that her neighbors had to go over to see if everything was okay. I apologized saying i didn't mean to cry I just got hurt and was in pain. She blocked me on all social media and told me to never talk to her again. Is she over reacting or does it sound like I was wrong? Also, should I text her again or just let it go? We've been friends for a really long time and I'd hate to lose the friendship over this but i feel like I can't do anything else to fix it. We're both 22 by the way

she sounds awful, you get hurt and she blames you make a scene and then she blames you the next day and blocks you.. sounds really dramatic.doesnt sound like a good friend at all.

She sounds like she was embarrassed for having the chair fall over and you getting hurt. Instead of apologising, she decided to make you at fault for causing a scene with the crying.

It was a silly thing on both your parts an alcohol was involved. Just leave it for now till things settle down and then send a quick text to say hello and see how she replies.

First instinct was to say she's overreacting, but when I stopped to think, I really can't remember the last time I've heard a grown man or woman really crying because they got hurt, especially when we're not talking broken bones or anything. Tears or little sobs are one thing, but alert-the-neighborhood wailing? Trying to actually visualize that situation, it honestly is pretty cringy.

 

Really, if you were crying so loud that you got the neighbor's attention, I can see how your friend got embarrassed. Yes, it was ultimately her fault, but a lot depends on how much you embellished.

Maybe next time just let yourself go if there's enough pain involved your body will take over and you will pass out.

Yeah I get that I embarrassed her by crying, but we both screamed when the chair was falling and before it hit the ground, and I wasn't crying so loudly that the neighbors would've been able to hear. If anything, the neighbors might have heard us both scream when we were falling over. But either way, the fact that she blocked me on Facebook and told me we're not friends anymore even after I apologized and explained myself seems a little dramatic for what it is.
