How should I confront my online girlfriend about refusing video calls and meeting?

25M dating 22F for 1.5 years. We met online and still haven’t met in person, even though we don’t live that far apart. Everything else feels normal. We talk daily, watch movies together, and act like a real couple.

The problem is she refuses video calls and keeps postponing meeting up. She says she’s camera conscious, and whenever I bring it up, she gets upset or says I’m pressuring her. She also avoids sharing much about her personal life, old photos, friends, etc.

At this point, I know these are red flags, but apart from that she feels genuine and knows everything about me.

Am I overthinking this, or ignoring something obvious? And how do I confront this without sounding accusatory?

Dating for 1.5 years online but she refuses video calls or meeting. Am I ignoring red flags?

25M dating 22F for about 1.5 years now. We met online and have never met in person yet. Overall, things feel pretty normal. We watch movies together, talk daily, keep each other updated about life, and genuinely act like a couple.

But there are a few things bothering me.

She refuses to do video calls. She sends photos sometimes and says she’s camera conscious, which I tried to respect, but she never sends the kind of pictures I specifically ask for either (nothing weird or sexual). Whenever I bring this topic up, she gets upset about my tone or says I’m pressuring her.

Same thing with meeting in person. We don’t even live that far from each other, but every time we plan something, she postpones it.

I’ve also asked about old photos with family or friends, and she says she doesn’t really have friends. At this point, I know these are obvious red flags.

What confuses me is that apart from this, everything else feels genuine. She knows everything about me. I’ve shared my life, my family photos, personal stuff, everything.

I honestly don’t know if I’m overthinking this or ignoring something obvious. If I want to confront this properly without sounding accusatory, how should I do it?
