Is NOBODY wrong in the post ? POST : So, this just literally happens moments ago. Backstory: I am living in another country with my relatives and so know little of them relative to their friends. My female cousin (FC) who's about the same age as me was growing her hair for donation but I didn't know when she would do it.

So, I was about to go shower when I noticed FC had returned home from her work and I, for a split second, thought she was another person because I'm so used to her long hair. I also noticed that her shoulders seemed broader because of her shorter hair but I didn't think literally anything of it. So I just say hi and go shower.

After my shower, I asked FC if she had a regular haircut or if she donated her hair. She said that she donated her hair. Then I accidentally blurted out that her shoulders seemed broader because of her shorter hair. Now I didn't think of it as a compliment, a sarcastic comment or a critic, just something I saw earlier and just said it like that without anything in mind.

Cue a few seconds of silence. She then asked if that was a compliment. Taken a bit aback and I stuttered a bit, saying : "Err..I'm sorry..if you..didn't take it as one." Another few seconds of silence before she said "oookay" with kinda a disgusted look on her face now that I think about it.

 Thinking nothing of it, I went back to my room, then went to fill my water bottle.  The kitchen is next to the dining table with no walls or door, you get the picture. My aunt (A) was in the kitchen with her other daughter (FC2) on the kitchen bench with an old photo while FC was near the sink. So I take the long way around to look at the photo and FC just angrily told me that she didn't appreciate what I said earlier (her shoulders seeming broader) and that she was offended, her face matching her emotions, basically being upset. Now I say that I'm sorry if that offended her while A and FC2 just stares in disbelief, or stand still, shocked at the situation.

I try to deescalate the situation, saying that I'm sorry if that offended her, but to no avail and FC goes back to her room pissed. A enquires about the situation and basically gets lectured by her and a bit by FC2. I truly am sorry, don't get me wrong. I'm used to basically get in trouble for mostly anything I say but I was surprised by this and I feel like FC overreacted.

So, here's my question: Am I in the wong here? I know FC had the right to be upset but did she overreacted to what I said?
