Ok so this happened only a couple of days ago and it’s really been bugging me. 

A couple days ago, I asked out this girl I liked. No big deal. She rejects me and I understand, I tell her “Hey, thank you for the reply, hope this doesn’t make anything awkward between us.” 

Me, being the teenager I am, is a bit sad at first but completely understand that she doesn’t have any attraction to me. I go about my day normally and try to forget about it.

Later, I’m checking around a couple discord servers and find two people arguing. I butt in and tell them to stop when both of them. One of them replies with some things I said when I asked the girl out. The other then also joins in to say that I shouldn’t have asked her out when I “barely know her”. 

I’m at first taken aback and then I am promptly kicked from the discord server for “inciting arguments”. I pause for a bit until I see the girl I asked out is typing to me.

She responds with “Hey, you shouldn’t have asked them to stop, they were just working out their differences.” 

I ask her how they found out the situation and all the details and she replies with that she sent screenshots to her group chat.

She then apologizes and says that “that’s who they are, they just make insults when they are.”

I’m trying to forget it but a little while after the situation has died down, the two who argued earlier along with friends decide to harass me in my Twitch Stream while I am live broadcasting. I promptly ban them and their friends while trying to stay neutral and unphased by it.

She texts me today and says that she is sorry that she sent the screenshots but that “it’s normal to and that I do it too.”

I gave her the confession in private, not thinking she would send pictures of what I said to her friends.

Am I the asshole for being upset at the harassment and the screenshots?
