You should have stolen some of their meal when it came out. Balance it out. Steal a shrimp. Steal a tendie. Steal some fries. Whatever. It's only fair.

Because they thought that nobody would have an appetizer after one guy said he wouldn't have one, and then you said you wanted an appetizer but it was too late for them to change their mind without appearing weak so instead they started internally blaming you for them not having an appetizer and they repaid themselves with one of your mozza sticks

Next you'll tell me no one else ordered dessert but you and you were just as shocked when people asked for some.

The fuck do you expect your friends to do when you're the only tard eating? Next time you're curious about ordering apps, vocally say something before the waitress comes over so that you guys can agree as a group about getting 2-3 apps and splitting the cost. This way anyone that says no can suck your dick when you tell them no later since you had an open conversation open it. It's a win-win for you - either no one else wants apps and you get your sticks, or other people do and you save some money while getting some extra plates.

don't do what this faggot says, he's not properly socialised. The propper response is to make them aware of their hypocrosy in a way that's not threating. Make an over the top joke about how they said no, but meant yes. Ask for something ridiculous from them and when they say no "oh well we all know you really mean yes" etc. They'll get the idea.

There's a few lessons to be learned, from this anon. And, yes, it's happened to everyone too. Ultimately, you do want to have friends, and dine with them, and there's a fine line between being fair with proper etiquette and being polite and generous when it comes down to all of this, or else you ruin the good times, or even the friendships.
You could take 1 friend aside and talk this out so you can have an ally for getting separate checks or at least sharing your check with just that person. This gives a tad more freedom over splitting some food that is clearly going to be just you 1 on the charge for it.
You can also get the question down in advance "hey is everyone pretty hungry are we doing apps tonight or nah?" and get that before the waiter arrives. Or toss out a comment like "I'm superhungry tonight, and I'm getting chicken wings for myself, just so you know, we'll have to double and triple our apps if anyone else is interested too.
If the waiter beats you to it, and in the spot you find out you're alone, then change your mind and don't do it. Oh no one is getting an app? That's alright, i don't want to be the only one, I'll skip it. And, you stick firm to that no matter what, unless..someone says "I'll split it with you man, let's get 2" and now you have fuel to get 1 of them on their check. If you did want the app all to yourself, get it as a side with your dinner.

Realize it's nice to just suck up the extra expense with certain people and dine with them anyway. They have different manners than you do, tight/cheap or no home training. Be the nice guy.

They wanted appetizers, they just didn't want to pay for them. Appetizers are also shared with the table, that is the social norm. The lesson here is to not buy unless you're willing to share.

I've never gotten the concept of an appetizer. it sounds like you want something to build an appetite, but it really just sits in you and ruins your eventual meal.

My friends and I would often let each other have a small piece of our entrees, just so we can all try different things. We have the mindset of wanting to try different things, so we dont order the same thing over and over again. Nobody gets hard feelings if someone says "no".
