I've been going crazy about this 4 like a month now, looking for input from anyone

Background info b4 I get into the situation in question. So I have a mix cocktail of sensory issues, notably 4 this situation tho is noise. I can tolerate it 2 an extent but I i get mentally drained pretty quickly if I dont have something 2 turn down the sound around me

I don't like earplugs, they feel weird and I hate how loud my own voice sounds with them in. So I typically just use my earbuds. They got solid active noise cancelling and can adjust it if needed with the app. Most importantly: my friends know about this. They don't have issues with me wearing them when we go out cause they know y I do it

So a few weeks back, I get invited by my friends 2 this place (can't name-drop it here cause it's a local thing and would totally dox me). the place is focused on group activities. So a bunch of people I didn't know also got invited. My friends relayed the whole noise sensitivity thing to the rest just so they were aware.

Now 4 the actual situation. Get there, doing some stuff, everything seems fine. It's a little tough 4 me, the place is very loud so the earbuds 4 basically required 4 me 2 function. But cause it's also loud, it's a bit difficult 2 communicate as a whole. Like everyone had issues hearing each other at some point.

One girl, I'll call her V, just didn't seem the most friendly 2 me? We would occasionally do some activities together, and at the end of 1 of them we ended up losing. And she said 2 everyone that "we would've won if somebody wasn't choosing to ignore us" while looking right at me. She made it a point afterwards not 2 do anything when I was involved.

Again she knew my situation b4 going in so I feel like it was super rude. But I'm also thinking she had a point. Idk. I just wanna know if I should've done something different or not

you don’t owe anyone anything. she chose to not be understanding, and she was told before hand. don’t ever change for others, esp when it’s something that actually helps you.
