My close friend got really angry at me over a class project mistake and now things feel weird

I’m working on a class project with a close friend, and yesterday she got really upset with me because I didn’t film her the way she wanted.

I accidentally pressed record too late during one take, so we had to redo it. Then she got upset again because she didn’t like the angle I filmed from. I understand it was frustrating, but the way she spoke to me felt really harsh and disproportionate. I don’t think I did a bad job. It wasn’t perfect, but her reaction felt excessive.

She was really angry, rude, and even tearing up, which confused me because she’s my close friend and I didn’t feel like I had done anything that bad. She hasn’t apologized. I told her I thought we should talk things out, but she said we should keep things professional.

I’m honestly hurt and confused by the whole situation. Am I overreacting, or is it fair to feel upset by how she’s acting?

One of my closest friends is lovely and I get along with her really well. She shared some of her political views one day that really triggered me and made me very sad and emotional because they were very unethical in my opinion. I know that my opinion is what is generally acceptable and hers is a minority opinion. I was shocked but she confided in me because she trusted me. I don’t think she thought what she said was bad and she’s a nice girl and doesn’t have bad intentions.

Even though I know she’s a good person, still any time I am reminded of the comment because it had to do with current events, I obsess over it and get super emotional and angry. I also feel the need to correct her and educate her on how what she said is ethically wrong. It gets so bad that I cannot hold back and I feel the need to text her or tell her. Is this something to do with adhd? I know I should be more tolerant and kind.
