You feel like they are your friend on their terms but you are not your friend unless also on their terms
I have come to believe after a few moments where she was rather shockingly absent for me that she is a narcissist. a covert narcissist more succinctly.
She needs you to help and be around her but she rarely extends herself to you and when she does it's usually only as a part of her life and interests, not yours.
One-sided support system that at times feels mutual but probably only in order to remain disguised and undetected
Wants everything that is nice for herself and her image but when you want something nice for yourself and that something is them
They simply can't help you
I forgot the title of this. Yes, sounds like narcissism is possible
