I do get anxious and overthink so I may be told so on here (but please be kind)

I had arranged to meet my bf with a male and female friend of his after I finished work, it was quite a vague plan really I said I could go, but not a time etc .
But he said it would be nice for me to go and he appreciated the effort.
Anyway I arrived and he said oh I forgot you were coming. Then later on in a jokey way I said 'SOMEONE forgot I was coming' and laughed

We had a good time and I left early as I had work
I realised he actually thought I was annoyed that he had forgotten, even though I wasn't at all.

He said I left suddenly which I don't think I did, I was just tired and had work.

Anyway he later told me he had said to them that I was pissed off he had forgotten and had 'stormed off'.

I hadn't done that at all, I had said I was going and said bye. I really wasn't bothered he forgot, it's such a minor issue and I guess he had taken my joke seriously which I felt bad for

I feel embarrassed he told his friends I was 'angry he had forgotten and stormed off' it wasn't the case at all , and the next day I could have sworn the female was a bit cold towards me.

Just feel a bit embarrassed and the friends probably think I'm some sort of stroppy and high maintenance person, even though it was a misunderstanding. I'm just overthinking surely?

He sounds like a twat and as if he’s deliberately trying to undermine you and put you on the back foot. Is he often like that?
