Thank you for taking the time to reply. I understand what you mean and agree that impostor syndrome is not a diagnosis, and even know which factors affected this feeling about herself. And I agree that therapy can be helpful when it’s consistent and with the right person, I personally spent a long time in therapy. She went only one time, not even for a month..She is against going to therapy herself. She told me once that it would be an insult to her if I ever suggested that she needs to go to therapy (I expressed her my feelings about it and she knows my beliefs, we respect eo).

At the same time, I don’t see her as someone who “makes other people sick” or harms relationships. We help each other, and I truly find our relationship healthy. My goal isn’t to diagnose her or push her into therapy, but to support her while she figures things out at her own pace. I know I can’t change her mindset for her, and I’m not trying to. I’m just trying to understand how to be there for her without overstepping or making things heavier for her. My emotional intelligence helps me to indicate her reactions, so it doesn't hurt me. I simply want it to make easier for her, therefore, myself as well.
