I definitely think she's pulling a scam, and I think a lot of her manipulations are deliberate. But I don't think she's being manipulative when she exposes her vulnerabilities. Her insecurities seem genuine, judging by the way she reacts when people push her buttons, deliberately or otherwise. Come to think of it, there is a certain "Cluster" of little bees who are prone to being manipulative while also being extremely insecure. I think narcissist is fitting, but I'm not a doctor.
Anyway, now the question is how to leave. I'm trying to sever the strings neatly so that I don't damage other friendships. We're all in the same circle of friends, and there are a lot of people I enjoy hanging out with.
