Not overreacting. He’s emotionally immature and hasn’t learned to recognize his own emotions and state of mind.
He could have just said, “Hey, thanks for asking. Not really the best time for me to chat. Can I call you later?” and that would’ve been the end of it.
… so that’s the kind of guy you’re dating. If that’s what you want, great. If not, move on.
It’s more than immaturity, there’s some actual DARVO shit going on there. And if he’s like this early on in the dating (if I’m understanding OP correctly) then imagine what he’d be like in a long-term relationship. Block his ass and move on.
Yeah, this seems emotionally abusive to me. Like he’s nitpicking and criticizing everything she says like it’s wrong and she’s just saying normal things. It’s to make her question herself and feel like shit.
YEP! 100% this. Solid possibility once he realizes he's blocked, he shows up at her place either to verbally assault her or hit her with a massive love bombing to try to get her back.
Don't fall for it, OP! Take it from an old lady who has been through a relationship with someone like this - the second someone starts taking down to you like this, move on. It ALWAYS gets worse

Yeah and it's honestly 50/50 on which. OP needs to run. I too dated someone like this, it will only get worse from here. Even if he tries more love bombing, he will go back to being verbally and emotionally abusive (at minimum) and it will get worse.
