That was my immediate response, and the more I think about it, the worse it gets. Not only did she want to do this, she actually went through with it because no one was there to talk her out of it. No one pulled her aside and said "hey what's going on" or "at least don't post this online". She was able to fill up a party with attendees but somehow have no friends.
reminds me of my niece, who's been described as a social butterfly. Knows a lot of people but apparently has no real friends who can give good advice like 'hey, maybe going into a foreign country with ONLY a male you're interested in who's 2 years older than you (20) when you're just turning 18 is a BAD IDEA'
This seems incredibly sad.

The disturbing alternative is that she does have friends, but none of them see the problem either.
