When Niamh*, 31, first met Jessica*, 34, she was overwhelmed by her kindness. “I felt a bit bad for her because she didn’t have that many friends in London,” recalls Niamh, who promptly started introducing Jessica to her wider circle. Initially, it was fine; Jessica had become a bit too dependent on Niamh, so giving her more people to hang out with relieved some of the pressure.
“The constant messaging from her was becoming a little too much, and I have a large group of friends so I didn’t really care,” she recalls.
