@rosy_choy Pretty mcuh. Though, if they're a close friend, depending on their time it can mean the opposite. Joking in English is complicated and sarcasm is weird though, so don't mind it until you're more advanced.
Edit: though I wouldn't describe the feeling people feel when they say their offended is angry. More like hurt.

If she was offended, it could be that she is angry or that something has hurt her feelings or upset her in some way. If a person is rude to me, I get offended. If someone uses a racist slur, I get offended.

Offended doesn't mean angry, as such. It means insulted - it's what you say if you think someone has been rude about you.
For example, if a Mexican person hears someone say something rude about Mexican people, they are likely to be offended by it.

Example: I am offended because you didn’t invite me to your party. My feelings have been offended; my feelings have been insulted or hurt.
Another example: I don’t approve of “X”, but you talk about X all the time because you like X. This offends me / I am offended, I am angry.
Yes, being offended can mean being hurt, insulted, or angry.

@DebbieT@lydiadragonfruit The meaning of the word is a bit weighty, does it have any lighter meaning than "insult"?
