I hate that I lost my favorite hobby because of my fake friend

I use to go to this card shop to play a competitive trading card game. I had tons of fun playing my deck and hanging out with friends. There is a specific friend in this games community that has always been passive aggressive toward me and has always disliked me deep down despite me not doing anything wrong to him. I let it go because he was the center of this games community and I always tried to be nice so I could be included in future hangouts. One day this friend messages me and tells me I'm a frustrating person to be with being socially awkward and I insulted him and his gf by asking if his gf accidentally took an item of mine by mistake when we all hanged out together the week before. Because of this message, I keeled over and deeply apologized explaining to him it wasn't my intention of calling her a thief, I was simply looking for the missing item. He appreciated the apology because I owned up to my bad actions. Knowing how passive aggressive he has been to me for years, I was pent up with this behavior of thinking the worst of me. Thus, I blocked him on all platforms and stopped going to the game store because I didn't want to face his passive aggressive attitude toward me again. Because of this, I haven't played my favorite format in months and because I blocked him on all platforms, I ended up leaving every group chat I was in for this games community too. I really miss the community I had and the game I played. I understand I'm better off without people who hate me or don't care about me, but it still sucks though.
