Away from the internet I’m a pretty reclusive person and people like this woman are a big part of the reason why.
If I’m not required to do so I don’t start conversations with people. As far as I’m concerned the world falls into two classes of people my family and people I associate with because courtesy or my job requirements demand it.
People, like the woman, in the OP (my next door neighbor for 5 years growing up BTW) have treated me like shit for most of my life after a while I just said the Hell with it and dropped out.
I interact with people on the internet because to a degree it’s on my terms. I limit how much you actually know about me
The point I’m trying to make is that I do everything in my power to limit the kind of interactions I described in the OP. So, when one happens I really take it personally. I also tend to process events like that by talking about them hence this thread.
Had this woman had the decency to simply tell me that she’d rather not keep in touch two months ago I would have walked away and that would have been the end of it. Instead she tells me we’re still “friends” and now it’s somehow my fault I didn’t”get the hint?”
