Need genuine advice from fellow GenZ people because I’m honestly confused.

There’s a girl from my college friend group. She’s introverted, used to like my romantic Insta stories/notes a lot, added me to close friends, and posted romantic/emotional stories there too. But she almost never initiated conversations first.

Recently I stopped texting first for 4 days because I wanted to see if she would ever start the conversation herself. She didn’t, then suddenly unfollowed me and later deactivated her Instagram account.

Now I’m confused:

Did I overthink all the signs, or did she maybe feel ignored/hurt because I stopped texting first?

Also please be honest — was my “wait and see” move immature?

I met a girl in college through a common friend group. We are not in the same class, and she’s pretty introverted. Over time she started liking my romantic Instagram notes/stories regularly, added me to her close friends, and used to post romantic/emotional stories there too.

The thing is, she almost never initiated conversations first. Most conversations were started by me. Recently I stopped texting first for around 4 days just to see what would happen, and she also didn’t text. Then she unfollowed me, and after that deactivated her Instagram account.

Now I’m confused whether:

1. she actually liked me but felt ignored,

2. she just liked the attention,

3. or I overread normal Instagram behavior.

I don’t want to act desperate or create drama by asking her friends too much. What would you honestly do in this situation?

Need advice...?
