Sounds like she is just being herself. I'm not an extremely anti-social person but if I feel alienated I don't keep talking or forcing myself to hang out with someone. The older you get the more you realize how few the amount of people are that you really have stuff in common with AND how even that changes over time, say over 10 yrs time, etc. If your friend is comfortable with who she is, she probably won't change much. In my opinion its far easier to hang out with people who aren't constantly trying to dominate the conversation (like how your friends sounds to be)than people who monopolize to just talk about themselves. People like that are very draining to be around.
Is it normal that I have trouble connecting with people?
