I am female and have a close friend (40F). But recently some of her words/ requests made me feel disrespected. I tried to distant her, she asked me why and acted innocent. I explained how I felt, but she accused me being overreacted, saying I am her Bestie, etc.

Some examples I dislike about her:

- She become more and more needy. We used to chat daily and share interesting stuff. If I recommend her to try a new snack (easy to get in any supermarket), she will respond "Where's mine?" and want me to buy it and deliver to her. When she saw something cute online, she requested me to buy it and deliver to her too (The stuff is cheap, not a problem of money) But she wants me to DELIVER it to her, to show that I do care about her, I found this so exhausted and repulsive.

- She offers to cook me this or that (I didn't ask for), later she will say thing like 'I've done so much for you, what are you giving me in return?'

- She asked me to go to events with her, I said I didn't want to, she forces me and said 'how can YOU deny MY request? you MUST go.'

- As she is single, she requests me / my boyfriend to go places with her, help her carrying heavy stuff... recently she asked my boyfriend to get something for her during worktime (it will take 2 hours). I told her my bf could not do it (actually he DID NOT WANT TO) because his work is busy, and he even needs to work overtime that day. She requested again 'WHY CAN'T HE DO IT FOR ME AFTER WORK?". This really triggers me. Also, I usually have plans with bf during weekends, she always want to join us. But I want our private time only, so I found her request very annoying.

I tried to distant her, not initiating chats anymore, not replying to her message (not anything important, just her saying good morning, social media videos..). Then she sending me screenshots about she asked AI 'What should I do, my bestie is ignoring me'...

This really triggers me because I really dislike her to make things so dramatic.

Eventually I told her honestly, she is too demanding, I don't want to be her 'bestie' anymore, I am not willing to satisfy her needs, and pointed out some of her requested was too unreasonable to me.

She was not happy about that, blaming me for not helping her, buying her stuff etc. She kept saying she made so much effort to this friendship, and I would always be her bestie etc.

I no longer replied after this message, and I delete her social media connection. I think she might feel hurtful, but I am really exhausted in this dynamic.
