AITA for venting on my story after my friend ignored me?

(if you recognise this, it’s a re-upload bc i failed to add some details.)

So me and my friend decided one day that we would video call since we were both bored, let’s call this friend Star. I had gotten home from being out and had texted Star only to be left on read. I texted again and they didn’t respond for over 3hrs so I gave up and just went on with my day. At some point, I had realised I had been checking my phone just waiting for a notification from them all day. I know this was wrong but I started overthinking and assumed something like they didn’t want to call anymore and that’s why they hadn’t texted. (ik this isn’t the right thing to do but i couldn’t control my thoughts unfortunately)
Anyway, there’s this story thing on what we were messaging on so I decided to post on it. (this might seem weird but most of my friends do it so it’s not strange to me)

I said something like, “i might be stupid, i’ve been waiting for someone like all day.. i gotta stop lmfao”.
Looking back, I should not have posted this but I did try to message again just to be ignored. Most of my friends rant/complain on their stories too so I didn’t think anything of it at the time.

Anyway, Star eventually came online, got me to say who it was abt when they saw my story and immediately got annoyed. I won’t include the whole argument but they said things like “why didn’t you text then?” (i said that i did) “well, you’d find calling is more effective.” They then went on to complain about how I never text ppl and just vent on my story (i understand this but i hadn’t mentioned anyone on this particular story so i was a bit confused.) They said that the only reason I posted that on my story was that so the person I was talking about would know I was waiting, I said that wasn’t the reason and I just wanted to rant somewhere. They got annoyed and this is where we argued for a bit.

Another message was something like “just drop the whole story thing and leaving on read thing. i’m already annoyed and seeing stuff like that pisses me off and i feel the need to explain myself since you are so bothered by it.”
For context of the leaving on read thing, I had previously said to Star that I hate seeing that i was left on read bc it makes me a bit upset and they have an issue with me being upset by it bc it’s “not that big a deal.”

I hope this is enough detail, I’m not the best at writing things like these. I know that I should have texted them instead of going to my story and I don’t have an explanation for that so..

AITA for not texting my friend about how I feel?

this might get taken down cause it’s not really a serious problem but i would like a second opinion.
So for some context, my friend group all use something called a story and we post everything we do on there.

Me and my friend decided that we would video call one day after I got home from being out, let’s call this friend Star. So I texted Star after getting home asked if they still wanted to call and I got left on read. I sent another message and they didn’t reply for over 4 hours so I decided to move on with my day. At some point, I realised I had basically been waiting all day for Star to text me and that was stupid. I went on my story and just kind of yapped because that’s where I like to express how I feel whenever i’m bored. Anyway, I basically said abt how stupid I felt for waiting for someone all day and stuff like that.

Later in the day, Star saw my story and they got weirdly annoyed. They got annoyed that instead of texting this person, I complained on my status. I explained that I was complaining about *myself* and I didn’t even mention who I was waiting for. I also explained how I *did* text them but got no response so they got even more annoyed and said “well you should have just called.” (i have overthinking issues and stuff so I got too scared to call at the time..)

It turned into a whole argument and we hasn’t talked since and I don’t know if this is my fault or not. They said at the end that they get pissed off whenever they see me venting (?) and then they feel the need to explain themselves since I’m so bothered??
Idk what to do, this isn’t a super serious thing but i still wanna know if I was the asshole.
