I can understand that. But it should be noted that you can have a life without ditching your friends. I might occasionally screw-up, for instance the incident we were discussing a few posts up, but all-in-all I've got a pretty good life going. Yet I still hang out, I still talk.
Not saying it's wrong, mind you. If she feels she has to do this, then more power to her and I hope she finds what she's looking for. Just saying it doesn't have to mean backing away from your friends.
