Throwaway, because reasons. Long story short, I got invited to play with a friend's friend group and apparently, I hit it off with them... too well? According to the original friend that invited me, this is me stealing their new friend group away. Will be posting a chat excerpt for context. AITA?

Me Today at 1:11 AM These are okay peoples. I like them.    
Them Today at 1:11 AM that's good    
Them Today at 2:06 AM are you stealing my friends now    
Me Today at 2:07 AM What?    
Them Today at 2:07 AM are you stealing them you can't steal what I don't have    
Me Today at 2:07 AM They are playing other games.    
Them Today at 2:07 AM and you're just sitting there?    
Me Today at 2:10 AM Yup, chatting.    
Them Today at 2:17 AM you're stealing my friends    
Me Today at 2:18 AM Am not.    
Them Today at 2:19 AM You are    
Them Today at 2:30 AM okay well enjoy my friends, I'll go find new ones    
Me Today at 3:05 AM Wait. I can't tell if you're actually upset that I decided to spend some time with them after you left.  Them Today at 3:06 AM Yes I am You always get along with them better than I do and then I lose them after that    
Me Today at 3:06 AM I am confuse.  
Them Today at 3:07 AM I work really hard to enter the circle and you're in there for 5 mins and boom you're everyone's friend and everyone likes you more   
Me Today at 3:09 AM I don't think it's really a case of who likes who more. It's just a matter of people playing games. We play games with friends to have fun. I'm not trying to "steal them away from you"    
Them Today at 3:10 AM Doesn't matter. I'm probably gonna find them playing with you more often and then I get forgotten like always Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to find a group to fit into   
Me Today at 3:11 AM I'm... sorry I'm me? (LNS) I'm not sure what I was supposed to do. Be a horrible person, so you look better in comparison? (LNS)  
Them Today at 3:12 AM You don't get it do you      
Me Today at 3:12 AM Not... really.      
Them Today at 3:12 AM Whatever I'm better off alone anyways      
Me Today at 3:16 AM Would you like to explain what it is, then, so I can understand?      
Them Today at 3:17 AM I already explained it as best as I could and you didnt understand it   
Me Today at 3:17 AM What would you have liked me to have done instead?   
Them Today at 3:18 AM I should have played with you guys separately   
Me Today at 3:18 AM What would you have liked ME to do, differently?      
Them Today at 3:19 AM Nothing you could have done really the fact that you're a dude and you make stupid jokes already means you one up me in their eyes  
Me Today at 3:19 AM I think you might be putting yourself down a little bit. To me, that sounds like you feel like you just want to be the token girl gamur in their group. And I don't think you're that low at all.   
Me Today at 3:20 AM I think you're much better than that.  
Them Today at 3:20 AM I have to work twice as hard to get that kind of respect      
Me Today at 3:20 AM I don't think saying thank you for the carry, when I was carrying was really "sucking my dick". If someone carried me, I'd thank them too. And I don't think I'd need to say nohomo for it.      
Them Today at 3:21 AM Oh wow you sweep in to clean up and you're the most fed yet strongest yay carry That's not the fucking point I've done shit akin to that and i don't get half the praise you do      
Me Today at 3:21 AM Okay, well, what IS the point to you? I genuinely don't understand then.      
Them Today at 3:21 AM I do stupid jokes like you and all I get is sighs No one laughs like they did with you Don't try to tell me that I want to be a token girl I want fucking friends and you always outshine me      
Me Today at 3:24 AM I'm... Sorry??? (Very confus.)  
Them Today at 3:24 AM See it doesn't matter how many times I explain it you still don't understand It's like as soon as you came in there I was no longer important It doesn't matter how much time I put into people I'm still not important So like I said enjoy them, I'll have to find new ones      
Me Today at 3:26 AM I don't think just because I spent time with them means you're unimportant to them.    
Them Today at 3:27 AM I've done shit akin to that and i don't get half the praise you do I do stupid jokes like you and all I get is sighs No one laughs like they did with you Nothing you could have done really the fact that you're a dude and you make stupid jokes already means you one up me in their eyes I should have played with you guys separately Here cause it's 1am and I'm not writing different versions of these for the next 2 hours      
Me Today at 3:29 AM I really do think you're basically throwing yourself under the bus here.  
Them Today at 3:29 AM And how is that? How?   
Me Today at 3:29 AM You're basically thinking you're not important because these people made a new friend.      
Them Today at 3:30 AM Yes they met you for 5 fucking minutes and they get along with you better than with me and I've met them for over a month I could barely even fucking speak by the time you were in the game since you were all talking and interrupting each other I feel knocked into the corner for the shiny new toy   
Me Today at 3:31 AM I mean, I got interrupted a fair bit, but if I wanted to say something, I asserted myself after someone was finished with their statement.      
Them Today at 3:31 AM I CANT DO THAT CAUSE NONE OF YOU FUCKING LISTEN   
Me Today at 3:31 AM I mean, obviously it works if I can do it. Why can't you? (LNS)      
Them Today at 3:31 AM Because I'm a fucking woman   
Me Today at 3:32 AM So... what you're saying is that these people are sexist?   
Them Today at 3:32 AM If I assert myself I'm a bitch and I need to calm down You can do it and everyone goes silent    
Me Today at 3:32 AM I honestly doubt that.   
Them Today at 3:32 AM Im Okay Don't listen to me You know best      
Me Today at 3:32 AM IF that were the case, I don't think those are people you'd like to hang out with anyway.  
Them Today at 3:32 AM Do you understand??? How desperate I am for friends????? That I'm with these people???? Do you see it?????      
Me Today at 3:33 AM I mean, from my understanding, you basically just theory crafted the worse possible outcome, no matter how unlikely.      
Them Today at 3:33 AM I have to yell at them and put them in their place every week but for fucks sake at least I have company I'm I don't want to be alone      
Me Today at 3:33 AM I don't either. But I've learned something.      
Them Today at 3:33 AM You have your own fucking friends   
Me Today at 3:34 AM I need to be happy and content with being myself.      
Them Today at 3:34 AM I don't even have best friends      
Me Today at 3:34 AM And happy with who I am first.      
Them Today at 3:34 AM You have Person A and Person B and all those other fucks I have no one   
Me Today at 3:34 AM I mean, Person B has devolved into hating himself, alcoholism and racing games. And Person A is too busy with work and being an adult. And I'm not social enough to make new friends.     
Them Today at 3:35 AM But for the last fucking time don't take my friends Don't      
Me Today at 3:35 AM I'm not.  
Them Today at 3:35 AM You go find some But don't take those      
Me Today at 3:35 AM I'm literally not trying to take your friends.      
Them Today at 3:35 AM Don't take what little I have      
Me Today at 3:35 AM I just wanted to play games with them because they were there. I feel like I'm being accused for something that's not my fault and that's not a good feeling.      
Them Today at 3:37 AM You have the most biggest tendency to meet my friends and take them don't do it this time I've lost many friends due to that      
Me Today at 3:37 AM I don't get what you mean. All the friends that have stayed are still with you. Those that left aren't with me. I haven't "taken" anyone.      
Them Today at 3:38 AM And I can count those on one hand I really just should have played with you guys separately I should have known I'm fucking stupid      
Me Today at 3:39 AM I'm sorry for how you feel right now, but I honestly don't get it. I don't think I've done anything wrong. I wish I could make you feel better.   
Them Today at 3:39 AM I did the thing wrong. I combined all you fucks together knowing how bad that mix has been before I didnt want to ignore you and I didnt want to leave them So I did the nice person thing and joined you all together and it bit me in the ass     
Me Today at 3:41 AM I feel like you feel like I'm doing something to wrong you.      
Them Today at 3:41 AM I feel like I was stupid enough to join you all together  
Me Today at 3:41 AM Do you think that I've wronged you somehow?      
Them Today at 3:42 AM I feel like I was stupid enough to join you all together   
Me Today at 3:42 AM That's... great, but not the question I asked.      
Them Today at 3:42 AM I think that I was stupid enough to join you all together That's what I think      
Me Today at 3:45 AM Do you think that I've wronged you, though? That's what I'm asking.      
Them Today at 3:45 AM No I think that I was stupid to combine you all together that's all I've been saying Cause now I have no fucking friends and what's the point when an outsider can befriend them much easier than I can   
Me Today at 3:46 AM What do you mean you have no friends? It's not like they're going to be like "No, you're not my friend" anymore.
