It sounds like she is going through some issues & needs to be away at this time.....it is important to respect her needs.....& to be there if & when she feels she is capable of coming back as a friend......maybe she is trying not to hurt you with the way she is feeling right now & the best way she feels she can do that is to not be close to you right now.

Respecting her feelings is important....but being a friend means not getting hurt by her needs & just being there for her IF OR WHEN she is ready to come back.

Respecting others is part of being a friend also,
