I have online friends. There is specifically one who I've known for about 3 years. I am 14 and she is 17. About 3 months into being friends, she left her account for about 2 and a half years and only came back August of 2025. Ever since then, we have been increasingly close. Now, this friend is known for making ARG's (alternate reality games) and is emotionally intelligent. I, however, am not emotionally intelligent in the slightest. Turns out, throughout about 3 months of about 80 hours on call, she was kind of manipulating me in the process. She got close to me to restart her ARG's with an old group of friends. I don't know if I can trust her anymore. I also just feel like she doesn't like talking to me about my interests. Since we are friends and I want to talk about stuff with her, I try to consume a lot of media she does, but she doesn't do the same. She's been there for me to an extent and I enjoy talking to her, but I just don't know if she actually enjoys my presence.
