How to comprehend or handle my girlfriend

Hello, Reddit community. This is my first time asking a question here, so I appreciate your understanding if I make any mistakes. I'm a 22-year-old male, and I've been navigating a challenging situation with my girlfriend, who is also 22. The past few months have been quite a rollercoaster for me, and I’m struggling to understand what she wants. About a month ago, she broke up with me, saying that I made her feel suffocated and that she wasn't being herself. It hit me hard—I was devastated and felt blindsided. A few days later, after some time apart, she reached out to me, acknowledging that her actions weren't right, and we ended up meeting for coffee to discuss things. During our meeting, she expressed that she wants to pursue a job that is completely different from what we had planned together. This choice seems to create unnecessary distance between us, and she said, "I want to do what I want." Despite this, I tried to be supportive. Now, a month has passed, and I feel a growing disconnect between us. She's just 20 minutes away by bike, but despite my efforts to suggest going out together—something I believe is important—she remains unengaged. She claims she feels disconnected yet says she loves me and is excited about our future, which leaves me confused. She insists that if we were to end things, she wouldn't be happy and that I deserve better. I apologize for the lengthy message. I worry that I don’t understand her well enough, and I'm stretching myself thin trying to keep our relationship alive. We used to share a strong bond, but that spark seems to have faded. I’m doing everything I can, but her lack of effort is disheartening, especially since this was never an issue before. I genuinely don't know how to approach this situation. I struggle with the thought of breaking up because I’ve never loved anyone as deeply as I love her. She's the only person I've ever felt this way for, and right now, it feels like she's both incredibly close to me and yet very far away.
