She might have other disorders as well, but that's the only one she was diagnosed with.
She never made an effort to trick me into believing she'll hurt herself if I don't cooperate, and I'm not sure why you'd immediately jump to the conclusion she's just playing games, even if this behavior is unrelated to being bipolar.
You might not believe me, but I feel I have a pretty good understanding when someone is trying to manipulate me. It has happened to me before.

I should've phrased that part better. It was unusual for her to be this uplifted for an entire week, without any doubts or signs of depression showing up.

It is better to "go back on" a hastily made promise than to torment yourself with a mistake.

Frankly, I'm kind of tired of this argument. If you stick to text, you might be right, but it's definitely possible to get a good understanding of eachother when you spend a lot of time on video calls, without actually meeting in person.
I've been manipulated and taken advantage of in the past by someone I knew in real life, whereas some of my most long-lasting friendships have been almost exclusively online.
I'm not saying you shouldn't be cautious on the internet, but you're oversimplifying things here.

I don't mind your bluntness, but I find it rather irritating you would call someone out on not knowing a person, while making assumptions yourself.

There are plenty of red flags about me as well. I'm not the kind of person that writes off a person because they have severe mental issues that most people would not put up with.
