AITA for not texting my friends?

I (21F) am a university senior.

So are these specific friends (three of them also 21F, different department).

Almost a year ago, I noticed that they wouldn’t text in the group chat if I didn’t.

They would take hours to respond. This became a pattern.

This woman tried to keep the group chat alive, but her friends aren’t responding.

During the summer, there wasn’t a single call.

I was trying to keep the group chat alive, but it was in vain.

Then, I got into a relationship with my best friend (21M), and things got kind of busy.

I was trying to balance work in a different town with no phone signal, my relationship, my declining mental health, and all my friends, including them.

She met with one of them and made a sarcastic comment to her.

Today, after two weeks of me not sending anything or reaching out, I met one of them randomly.

She said something along the lines of, “We haven’t seen you in forever.”

And I said, “You didn’t even look for me,” in a casual tone.

I suggested we go get coffee since there was plenty of time until her class, but she said no.

Now, her other friends were saying that her comment was rude and unacceptable.

When I got home, my phone was bombarded with texts.

The two of them were texting in the group chat, saying things like:

“It was very rude and unacceptable to say that,” referring to me saying, ‘You didn’t even look for me.’

They implied that I was badmouthing them since they saw some irrelevant reposts on my TikTok. They also said that since I wasn’t mentally well, I should’ve talked to them about it.

So, she finally told them that they should just move on from the friendship.

This kept going for quite some time until I felt dizzy and realized I was going to have a panic attack.

I sat down and tried to relax. Right now, I’m alright.

My last message to them was, “If I say anything else, I’ll repeat myself, so just tell me how you want to move on from here.”

So, AITA?

She was trying to stay in touch with her friends, but they weren’t trying to stay in touch with her. Was her response rude or appropriate?
