Looking back the whole friendship was full of this. I spent a lot of time anxious about what I thought was someone in genuine risk but she never was.

I ended a friendship for the same reason. Met online, friends offline. There was an incident of her posting online to me that she was going to end her life and deactivated her X account and wouldn't answer the phone. Another friend checked and she was absolutely fine, it was all to manipulate me.

I mean, gaming and cats. Of course.
