Did you know Twilight was very much like you once?
She didn't see the value in friendship either. Her studies were her life as was her apprenticeship.
Princess Celestia herself tricked her into meeting ponies by sending her to Ponyville to oversee prep for the Summer Sun Celebration.
Princess Twilight may be just trying to do for you what her mentor did for her.
Just try to keep an open mind, Ms Opalescent.
I apologize if it sounded like I was scolding you on your study habits. I'm just getting to know you, after all.
Still, my sister was the same herself, and the Princess managed to convince her to open up by sending her off to Ponyville, so I'll take it she was hoping what worked for herself and Luster will work for me, too?
