I disagree.

She was never gonna spend the rest of her life working was she?

Meeting people? If I could, I would make myself invisible when I walk through crowds, the last thing I want to do is meet people.

However, do not forget that life has a way of creating balance, by this comment you sound like the "boyfriend" is not worthy of the sacrifice?

When you say "real world connection" what do you mean? Or are we all robots here?

She's making connections here isn't she? Wouldn't that help her?

Having a job doesn't expose you to life in full, rather it limits you. Having none leaves you with options to explore it to the fullest. ( you best understand this because surely you've worked in numerous places)

Visibility doesn't come through being stuck in a "single" environment. It comes from moving across, and in other to attain that, you'd have to learn to depart from a previous one.
