This exact scenario happened to me to a T. It was a boundary issue. The introvert couldn’t handle so much contact. She cut things off with me. We went 3 months without walking together or seeing each other then one day we ran into each other where to paths connected and we said a brief hello and went our separate ways. This oddly happened three days in a row. It actually healed what happened as we spoke briefly about it. Every now and again maybe once a month or more when I run into her at the park she welcomes my company and we have a great time. I told her let’s keep each other as “happy surprises”. So we don’t schedule walks or hangouts, but when we run into each other, we will richly enjoy each other for that hot sec.

Great advice to explore Facebook and/or MeetUp groups! That's what I've done.
How hard! It may be that your friend over shared, then didn't feel she had other options.
