Is he overreacting or was i too weird?

This happend a while ago but it just came to my mind so im gonna ask here.
I have a friend now let's call her V.
V and i have been friends for years but before i was friends with her i was friends with her cousin, T, like... childhood friends, we used to go to some extra classes together and stuff and we got along pretty well. Even went camping one or two times (with other friends too).
So, one day i was hanging out with V and she told me it was T's birthday. And i was like oh cool, i remember him from when we were younger and he was a pretty chill dude. So i told her to tell him that i wished him a happy birthday and that he was a cool dude and that i have a lot of good memories of him and basically that i appreciate him a lot even if it has been a long time since we last talked (maybe when we were 14 or 15 idk).
Later that week i was hanging with V again and i asked her how was the birthday party for T and all that stuff.
She told me he was weirded out bc of what i said and he asked if i had a crush on him or something. Like he was really taken back by what i said.
Was it really that bad?? I am confused.

    I’m sorry that he reacted in that way, honestly I would’ve been touched if someone said something like that about me. I agree with dumbasssite, it sounds like he is insecure about his sexuality. You’re totally fine

    dont feel bad- its him who is kinda flattering himself a bit much over a mere non leading appreciation like this.

  • There is nothing weird about showing appreciation for an old friend. I would ask V what she told him that you'd said.
    The guy sounds very insecure about his sexuality tbh. Must suck to not be able to accept a few nice words without immadiately suspecting someone's gay for you because I assume you're a guy from his reaction though if you're not it's still weird he can't just take a normal compliment.
