I started to ignore my best friend after suspecting her of using me?

Me (24F) and my BFF (23F) have been friends since 2021. We first met at work; at first, I didn't like her, but later we started to grow closer as friends. I would give her gifts, and she would do the same. I was very supportive too. We both liked K-pop, so our first outing outside of work was going to see Ateez in Nashville. After that we started going to visit each others home (I was at hers more then she was at mine) It was solid, but during our friendship it seemed like I was paying for everything, although I didn't notice it, when she'd ask for money because she gave one of her family member's money and she was broke since that member didn't pay her back and it was the same family member. I'd send her money so she could support herself. Once I quit my job and changed to a better-paying one, she'd show me concerts that we would love to go to, but she'd never pay it was always me. She'd bring cash knowing the merch tables don't accept cash, and she'd ask me to pay for her and promised to pay me back. (Which she never did) This continued for a while; I'd go to her home and sleep over. Until her birthday came along and she ghosted me, saying we needed a break because our friendship was going in a different direction. I didn't know how; I always called and texted, but as my work got busier and busier, I could only text her a few times or call once a day. I never even noticed I was the one starting the texts or the calls. So we stopped talking for 4 months, and then I decided to fix our friendship. As it was being rekindled, it was going great; we'd talk like we used to, but right after I paid for her school, she started saying, "I don't think our friendship is going anywhere." I also forgot to mention that whenever I said no to giving her money, she'd ghost me for a whole week. I asked her question after question on how to fix our friendship, and she said, "I hate repeating myself; you know what you should do to grow our friendship." I just gave up; if she easily gets mad at me for not calling her 24/7, what's the point of having her as a friend? Also, to add, I have other friends, and she gets mad that I hang out with them and am wilder with them than her (because she hates being in crowded places or even talking to people). So am I overreacting for ignoring my best friend?
