To think that this is very rude of my friend?

Friend regularly texts or sends me a message through messenger. Her messages are always either asking me information about something she wants info about, or a long text about herself and what she's been up to. I will reply, either answering her question (for example if she's asked me for a lift somewhere), or replying in general to her message.

After reading my reply she will always reply with something along the lines of 'Got to go, really busy' or 'got to go now, so tired, need sleep', and that's the end of the conversation.

AIBU to think that she's fucking rude by always acting as though I'm hassling her or keeping her from her busy life when it's her that's contacted me?! AIBU also to just stop replying to her?

She is also the same in person; she waltzes up to me at the school gates, talks at me for a few minutes then said 'got to go', again as if it's me delaying her?

What do you take from the friendship? I step back when I feel I'm giving too much and not taking anything except making me feel shite

Some people use this type of thing as a technique to present an image of them being very busy and very important. Narcissists do it - answering the phone with "I'm really flat out in the middle of a world changing deal worth ££££ billions." and then "got to go, I'll call you later" with no intention of doing so.

Not saying that's your friend necessarily but it's a known trick to make people seem busy and important if it's done alot maybe that.
