Agree with everything you said
... I used to realllllllllly like ankit but he is clearly stringing her along.... Why would you do that to your "friend"? Let her go
But I'll also point out that priyanka is not simply loud /emotional mess etc... She is problematic as well... Her ability to blame someone else (ankit) always, her self victimization, her tooting her own horn all point towards her being a very narcissistic person...
At this point i think they are just stuck with each other toxic behavior
If he goes away from her, I'll have a soft corner for him once again. He's qualities I definitely admire.
She has hints of narcissism but it's less bcz of her belief in own superiority, rather the fact that she can't depend on anyone else at all. She's being targeted constantly (they don't show the entire bullying, cheap drama of chugli gang even 10%, and 90% of that's towards her). Everyone jealous, somehow excuses ankit, is nice to him and blames her, and he just never ever speaks up. And she's left assuring others and clarifying everything, again and again. If she can defend his nature while he's being bashed, then she can expect some of that while she's being called loud, dominating, hyper considering he enjoys part of that nature so much.
