If you do decide to keep the friendship, just never let it become what you can do for them. The narcissists I've known don't understand reciprocity. They're a level above the people they interact with. You can work around that to force a co-equal relationship but that has to be much more intentional than it would be normally. Whatever enthusiasm you show for their self-actualisation, they should be showing for yours.

They can care to an extent, like “Oh my God, I’m so sorry!” but really just go back to how great they want to be. They believe people who call it unrealistic are “abusing them”, and don’t really care much when I say they’re already better because im not famous or well-known.

She also always calls herself kind, wants to be feared by Christ and God, etc.
