I am not challenging you as to the inappropriateness of your friend's behavior. I don't know how deep you would have to dig to begin to explore your own intense reaction to this behavior. However, there are other ways people can process this issue. Two people can react very, very differently to the same situation. If you are happy with the way you reacted, both mentally and physically, then no further exploration is necessary, right?
It is common fare in psychotherapy to learn to own our feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Healthy or unhealthy, our reactions to the behaviors of others is more about us than it is about them. I agree with this.
I don't know if you were looking for feedback, but this is mine. Everything I wrote, right or wrong, was meant to be supportive of you and your well-being. I'm on your side.
