📝 I AM the asshole

Was getting icecream late at night with friends. Some guy backed out into my car as I was getting ready to park, definitely his fault. My friends watched this happen as I was the last to pull up and other people were spectating as well. I'm 17 and new to driving for about a year so this was the first time I've been in a car accident as a driver. There was pretty significant damage on his rear end and my side. just to give info I am a pretty big guy 190 lbs 6'1ish and been lifting for abt 6 months, I've gotten a lot bigger and was 130lbs this time last year. The guy was a middle aged adult but probably 6 inches and 60 pounds less. I got out of the car pretty aggressively and slammed my hand on my own car and yelled fucking shit. The guy looked pretty scared when he got out and was apologizing. I said what the fuck is your problem and I was definitely very very mad about the situation because I don't understand how you back directly into a non moving vehicle. WHen he gave me the insurance card I saw his hand was shaking and I started to feel bad. One of my friends was apologizing and telling me I was being kind of a dick. The guy left pretty quick after I got his info. Later I realized he has a family and now I feel bad even though the accident was his fault. I called his insurance agent and left a voicemail explaining my behavior apologizing if it could get to him somehow. I don't have his number though. Is that a reasonable reaction because tbf my parents are mad at me for getting in an accident and it is a hassle. I feel bad also since I've been bullied before in my life and have never felt like the bully up until this moment. Thoughts?
