AITA for wanting to end my friendship over this?

so me (28F) and my friend (24F) we will call her Rose. Rose and myself met online during Covid 2020. it remained an online friendship for many years, but I’ve always felt like it’s been one sided friendships for years now. In the end it’s been all the little things that end up building up, like I used to work nightshift so would obviously be something during the day and Rose would send me endless videos messages which in turn end up waking me up when I’m trying to sleep for work I’d tell her not to do it ect. Rose didn’t listen to this request and continued to send me endless video messages while I’m trying to sleep. It got to the point I muted all of her incoming messages so I would be able to sleep for work. More to the point these videos I was getting sent was just her talking away about pointless stuff that I didn’t need to know there and then or be woken up by everyday Or it would be random “ranting“ videos. I still receive the endless ranting/pointless videos now all these years later. The way I feel it’s always been one sided is because when ever she has needed me I’ve dropped everything to be there for her via phone call/ video call to listen to Rose talk about what’s going on ect… but when ever I needed her she would never do the same. its been like that for years. We would send each other gifts for Christmas and birthdays and I’d go out and buy her stuff I’d think she’d actually like and use when I’ve gotten mine it’s like I was an afterthought… or she‘d gift me her clothes that she no longer wanted. so more recently I’ve done the same thing given her the same effort she was giving me as I’m not going to keep putting in effort where I’m not getting it back. During our friendship I found out I had been diagnosed with BPD (borderline personality disorder) and it had been on my record at the doctors since I was 14. I tried talking to Rose about it and how it made me feel about them not telling me about my diagnosis and telling her was it was for her to not care and turn it into something about her and how she thinks she’s got BPD now that I’ve told her about it and is doing all the research on it trying to educate me about it when I was the one to tell her about it and I’ve told her how her doing this makes me feel multiple times but yet again I’m ignored because it’s nothing that interests her, Rose still try’s to ”educate“ me now about it all and I keep having to repeat myself. Rose says she’s now got a diagnosis for BPD after she’s done all the research for what the symptoms are and what you need to have to get diagnosed with BPD. Rose told me one of her “triggers“ was to be left on read but she does it to me all the time so I spoke to her about it and asked her how come it’s ok for you to leave me on read whenever you want but I can’t do it to you because I’ll “trigger you” to her response being “I didn’t feel like that reply needed a response“. which I totally get as not everything needs a response but I have sent replies to so many of the millions of video messages I have gotten from her that didn’t need a response I just feel like it’s such a double standard where I have to do everything she’s asked to help her but everything I have asked gets ignore, dismissed or looked over. I feel like I’m the one going above and beyond to keep the friendship a float when it’s like Rose doesn’t care or at least that’s how it comes across to me. I feel like there is only so much more dismissing of everything that I can take. So AITA for wanting to end the friendship?
