Why did my friend try to push me out of my social circle?

Anonymous
I had to cut ties with a friend who was bullying me. She was alwuas angry at me, snapping at me and her anger towards me was unpredictable. I ignored her messages for a while and she showed up at my social group weeks later. She was glaring at me as if she wanted to kill me that night then she made an indirect comment about friends who stab other friends in the back. Then I felt guilty, so I let her back into my life.

Since then, I feel like she has tried to turn me against my group of close friends and isolated me away from them. I was getting on very well with the group and felt that one of the guys had an attraction to me. I messaged the group asking if we could all put together a gift for someone’s birthday. She never replied but everyone else on the group did and people said it was a great idea. Then, the next day she showed up with an even bigger gift, as if she tried to outstage me, and said ‘I really liked your idea of everyone getting a gift’

Then on the day of the birthday I got dressed up and she saw me and said ‘you look like a princess, you always have lots of nice dresses’ and she kept asking to take photos of me. She stuck to me the entire day and made sure I couldn’t speak to anyone else. When I went over to speak to my friend, she was stood behind me glaring at me. Then my friend left and she clung onto me again asking me to take more photos of her

The entire day she would try and take photos of me on my own, and photos of everyone else in the group together, excluding me.
I had a photo with her and she said sarcastically ‘you always look so nice in photos you make me look like garbage stood next to you’

Then when I was stood with everyone else, she invited the guy who I like (and I think is attracted to me) to her house for champagne in front of my face.
The next day she posted a group picture of everyone except me because she had essentially bullied me out of the group

Why did she try and exclude me from the social group?
