Am I overreacting or are they being manipulative? assalamu alaikum

Assalamu alaikum - I’d appreciate an Islamic perspective on this. I’m at university and in my first year I became friends with someone. We weren’t very similar, but we kept a casual friendship - not close, just classmates who chatted sometimes. There’s an Instagram group chat with a few other girls from our class (I’m a girl too) that’s been around since then, and they message each other now and then. This friend doesn’t outright insult me, but I often get the feeling she looks down on me. With others in the group she asks their opinions, laughs with them, and greets them in the corridor. With me she waits for me to say hello first, never really laughs at my comments, and conversations feel awkward or forced. It’s left me feeling like there’s something wrong with me or that I’m not good enough. So this year I chose to step back and not give her attention. I wasn’t rude; I just didn’t want to keep close someone who makes me feel diminished. She noticed and seemed upset. She began posting things in the group like polls: “Would you break a friendship or keep it in case something happens in the future?” During a project where everyone presented portfolios, after she finished some classmates came to me and asked if I wanted to go over and support her, tell her she did well, etc. I agreed and went, but there were already lots of people around her. I left because I remembered she hadn’t acknowledged my presentation earlier, so I thought why should I go out of my way? I don’t think I did anything wrong, and I plan to keep my distance to show that she’s not as important to me as she assumes. But I’m frustrated and unsure if I’m overreacting. From an Islamic viewpoint, what would you do in my shoes? Should I try to reconcile kindly, or keep my distance to protect my peace while maintaining good manners? JazakAllah khair for any advice.
