It took me years to understand that once someone reveals these kinds of tendencies to you, it's best to simply walk away. They are signaling who they REALLY ARE to you, with big, unmistakable signals. Trust that.
There are plenty of other people who would do the opposite---they would listen to you, and try to see your point of view, and not argue with you, out of hand. It's a shame she is this way. But it's really her loss.

I couldn't agree more. I'm just disappointed because I did enjoy her company and conversation in many ways, but I do NOT need to be around people that I call "friends" where I have to be careful what I'll talk about because they are uncaring or unfeeling or unempathetic. It's best to distance and keep things superficial.
Remember, unless I plan to give up agility entirely I will see these people at trials, so it's good to be polite and on friendly terms. Otherwise, whatevs.
