Some time ago, some guy with an obsession with my life convinced a girl that he could set her up with me. He told her he and I were best friends, fed her a false narrative in my name, constructed a fantasy relationship, and then posed as me, over text, for weeks or months.

She and I had only met in person twice, but during those meetings I'd unwittingly reinforced the narrative this guy was spinning.

Long story short: He fucked with her psychologically and emotionally. I did eventually find out about it, but she denied or dismissed everything I said. I did get through to her eventually, but she still sees me as unreasonable and/or emotionally unstable.

When we talk, she gets defensive and lashes out at me for things I didn't say or do. I don't blame her for this. In fact..I really care for her, and I might even love her to some degree.

But we don't really talk anymore and she doesn't understand, or chooses not to understand, the reality of the situation we were in.

But I dunno, she's coping with it in her own way, is seeing someone, and we're not a part of one another's lives`. Is there any point in reaching out to her again to try to explain things?
