AITA for being mad at my boyfriend after he told me I misheard something

Advice

okay I (23f) have been with my boyfriend (31m) for going on two years this month we live together we have a good routine I work a blue collar job I’m a subcontractor and I for the most part can ignore the stares men give me the issue happend today when was at the paint store and there was a man standing behind me he took his phone out and I heard the “start record” sound when I look over I see the guy with his arms crossed and his phone pointed at me I felt weirded out but I couldn’t just accuse him and assume that’s what happened but I heard that sound and all signs point to him recording me I called my boyfriend and told him about it but he was working and busy when he finally called me back 2 hours later I told him I was upset that he didn’t think it was big deal and he said  ” you probably just heard it wrong” and that “I see things all time” I hung up and when he called back he was yelling saying it was disrespectful I told him that I can’t even tell you how many women hear “your overreacting or that’s not what happened or something of that version” and that it sounds like hes defending this guy to which he said “ I didn’t call you to argue I didn’t put women down and when I tried to explain further he hung up on me, now having conversation with this man will most of that time end him walking away or saying he’s done with it so I should be to, or that I’m going on and on about something to keep the argument goin ( I don’t I just feel like he doesn’t understand me) so I sent him a long nice message explaining how I felt dismissed, doubted, unheard and how he basically said I was lying about the situation that I felt uncomfortable and that he should’ve been on my side without a reason of doubt to which he responded with “Ok bye.  When u feel like you can calm down and hear me out then I will respond” I wasn’t mad I wasn’t yelling or anything like that just upset and trying to explain, needless to say I told him “ being upset doesn’t mean I’m incapable of having a conversation or listening to him” and I got an “ok” we haven’t tallied since i Don’t Know what to do I feel like he just said I misheard it to just move on but why say that when I 100% did hear that!! I’m I overthinking this or overreacting ? please be honest
