[Maybe that's because for her, making friends is as simple as her approaching someone (like Joel, for example), and talking their ear off until she creates some kind of weird camaraderie with them.

I genuinely just wanted to help. But I trust if I'm causing more harm than good, they'll tell me to cut it out. Maybe they just appreciate the intention.
