** She and Sunburst had both worked themselves up into a lather about saving Star Swirl and the pillars, only to have the Pillars react with amazement, except for Star Swirl who responds with not gratitude but anger, derision and dismissiveness, all pointed at Twilight specifically.
** So she was advised she'd made a terrible mistake, then repeatedly berated for recklessness, and every attempt to make amends nastily rebuffed and sneered at.
** the combination of the above from the pony she's idolized for literally her whole life slams her hard enough in her personal weak spot (studying and magic as her point of pride) that she took the hit right in her self esteem.
** We've seen in the very episode that she earned her wings that nothing hits her harder than being a bad study, messing up magic, or hurting her friends, and Star Swirl gives her a hard time for doing all 3.

** She and Sunburst had both worked themselves up into a lather about saving Star Swirl and the pillars, only to have the Pillars react with amazement, except for Star Swirl who responds with not gratitude but anger, derision and dismissiveness, all pointed at Twilight specifically. So her happiness was shattered. Replaced with shock and shame that what she saw as a kind gesture that would help heroic legendary ponies regarded as \"you thoughtless child, you have put everyone in danger\" And she got no chance to bond with her idol like her other friends did with their corresponding Pillars.

** we have also seen Twilight pull down whole libraries in research of a problem before. In Ponyville, Canterlot, the Castle of 2 Sisters, and the Crystal Empire, before her own castle library. A seemingly unsolvable problem motivates her like nothing else. But guilt and shame on top of that have her stressed almost to Patient Zero levels.
She's not acting an idiot. She has been driven into a depression and is unable to see the way out until her friends stand up to Star Swirl on her behalf. And even then she feels compelled to make right what she did wrong. This is all completely in character for Twilight.
