No one wants to be around someone who is always in crisis. Just as no one wants to be around someone who is always drunk or complaining. This is why I think she should address some of her behaviours. We will die one day and she may end up completely alone. If her goal is to get married one day, perhaps she needs to address some of her behaviours for her own benefit.
She blurted out something completely inappropriate on a 4-day road trip with 3 of her friends and spent the remaining part of the trip completely alone (and crying), they all stayed away from her. I think she would have a better life if she learned how to stop blurting out inappropriate things. And I would wish this on her even if I never saw her again.
