The sad thing is that JNSIL likes me

And still chooses to treat me (and everyone) like shit. It's hard to explain without revealing some identifying details and I won't risk her finding this. But broadly speaking, I'm actually pretty clear on the fact that she likes me and would want to be close. She just treats everyone like garbage because she so self-obsessed she thinks everything anyone does, and especially me, is about her. I make posts about other people or situations and she picks a fight we me because she thinks I'm actually talking about her. She forces her way into conversations that don't include her just to be insulting while deflecting with "it's just my opinion." She seems to view every interaction as a competition that she is determined to win and then preens in "victory" without realizing that no one else is playing the game. She has made several people in our lives cry often because the only way she knows to communicate is through name-calling and SEVERE defensive projection. And she seems to hate her own children as she treats them the same way. I have recently decided to go low to no contact because I'm tired of being put in the position where I either have to let her treat me like crap or risk her exploding in a vicious, cruel verbal attack because I made some innocuous comment that didn't explicitly reinforce her ego. Anyone else dealt with this bizarre mismatch?
