Am I just overthinking things or is this being done deliberately?

I've known her since grade school and we're adults now, although we did have some blank years in between. She's always been the withdrawn type without many friends, but we got along well.

The past few years, we've grown closer ever since I moved back home. Things were great when we didn't hang out so much and had a distance but lately, I notice that the friendship is getting intense. We live about an hour away but she says she's planning to move near my area.

She doesn't have many friends as she's still a bit withdrawn, but lately, for some reason, I don't feel good around her and I brush it off thinking I may be overthinking it but the feeling is still there, and it's mostly in the stuff she says. I don't realize it when she says them but after I'm home, I feel pretty crappy about myself.

I have this chronic illness but you can't really tell that I'm very sick because there are good days and bad days. She knows I'm ill but I'm assuming she doesn't know much about it. There's also this politician that has the same thing I do and he had to quit his term for a long while although he returned many years later. Her and I spoke of politics and she tells me that he just quit because he felt like it and used illness as an excuse. I don't know why but I felt hurt.

We're both on Facebook and just recently, she asked me if this teacher we had in the past invited me to like an event. I didn't receive such an invite and then she told me that she just had to accept it if he didn't send me one??

At another time, she made a comment about my position at work and I didn't notice it when she said it but realized later what she may have meant. It hurt me. I'm in a field that's pretty competitive and that I can be proud of although I'm not too pleased with the work. We were talking about something else when she suddenly says "ohh it's a position where you do all the work for the higher rank people but get crappy pay for and the higher rank person gets all the praise." We were talking about something else and she didn't point at me directly, but she was indeed referring to my field and position.
I feel like she goes out and buys a lot of stuff and is materialistic but has a lot of pride? if I'm saying it correctly....

I doubt she says stuff to hurt me but why do I feel so bad and crappy?

At another time, we went out to eat and the food looked so pretty I took photos of it and told her I'm posting it up in my Facebook page. Next thing I know, she hurriedly takes photos and posts it on her wall before I do.

Maybe it's cause she doesn't have many friends and she's working/trying to hard on your friendship. So she's going alittle overboard.

Anne, don't worry any longer. Sounds to me that you two are friends. Accept her for what and whom she is. She sounds like she has had a very lonely life. Be kind to yourself as well !
