What do I 27M do about my friend 25F who doesn’t want to admit she keeps disregarding me?

Before I say what happened, me and my friend have been best friends for almost a year. I haven’t had any good friends since 5th grade unfortunately, so she means a lot to me. We met by chance (a little meet-cute I must say) around september of last year on a game. We accidentally started doing an assignment together in the same place and became friends in that moment. We have eachothers numbers and text all the time, but that game was one of my favorite ways to spend time with her. We live a few cities away from eachother so we haven’t been able to meet in person yet, but we were planning to.

Around march, I owned my favorite clothing item in the game, which was the only one I wanted and cared about owning to be able to enjoy the game. She said she liked the colors of it so I gave it to her. I figured she would just trade and find one with colors I liked within a week. We’ve swapped items before plenty of times so much that I normalized it and didn’t think anything of it, but I’ve been waiting off and on for seven months. When I ask her about it she says she’s looking for one, but I’m not sure what the problem is since she could genuinely find one in a day. I respected her and gave her more than enough time.

There’s also a few things that seemed off to me, like her saying something but then saying something different later on. She says she lives in a lower class neighborhood, but from the pictures she sent me it looked like a nice home. But I don’t care where she lives, I would still be her friend; I adore her personality. She says if we met in person that it would be her in the pictures, but she hasn’t sent me even one picture at all after the first ones she sent me of her when we got eachothers numbers, even though it’s been almost a year. I’ve sent her pictures of myself so many times. I don’t push her to do it because I want to be respectful, but I do like seeing my online friends faces a atleast few times a year. Sometimes I feel like need to call Nev and Max 😭🙏🏻💀

I’ve had enough recently and told her a bit ago this week that I don’t care about the item anymore and I don’t want her to give me anything, and instead I just want her to acknowledge that she keeps being passive and ignoring me. When I want to have an adult conversation she just doesnt react to it and only replies to the things I sent after it, so this time I only texted her about the problem, which is why she hasn’t texted me back.

We’ve never had a fight because we just don’t do that, we both deeply believe that things can be fixed by talking, but right now it’s a one way conversation. She’s never ghosted me or blocked me at any point and we’re really close, why is this specific thing at a standstill?

I don’t want her to be mad at me, I don’t want to lose the only person I talk to all the time, but the stress built up and got to me.
