[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like it's making your uncomfortable, OP.  I get it.  I would probably feel the same way, especially given the length of time it has been going on.

Can you distance yourself from her for a bit to see if it gets better?  Limit or stop social media posts, make a point to hang out only with other friends.  If you find yourself in a group with her, try to avoid talking to her and keep your distance.  That's the only feasible way to deal with this, IMO.  If you aren't as available, maybe she'll latch onto someone else.[/quote]

I think this is the only answer- limit your interactions with her and start to fade the friendship.[/quote]

OP here. Thanks, I think you are both right. I’ve already pretty much stopped posting to social media, but I think you are right that I just need more distance from her. I think what I’ve realized since posting this thread is that the reason this bothers me is that it doesn’t feel like friendship to me. It feels like she’s just using me for ideas. I never even get the sense that she likes me, more like I’m a resource for her. It probably is time to just fade out.[/quote]
