Whether you intend it to be that way or not... In this moment, it reads to me that you are currently sulking like a child, instead of acknowledging that it was insensitive and perhaps attempting to work out how to avoid the same problem in future interactions. And, by the by, I've no doubts that Nimona has also been very insensitive towards you: I don't believe this to be one sided, but I digress.
Therein lies the issue. If your first blush is to immediately hyperbolize and become defensive, then you will always have trouble getting along with others. Do you really, truly, think she wants to be angry, and just wants to take it out on you? Honestly.
