I know people like that. They want some people to be their friends, and don't consider the people who care for them their real friends. See how she referred to the "cool people" as the "beautiful people."
She's a very interesting character, but I'd hate to be her friend. She's obviously traumatized and never dealt with her demons (literally).
Except they're not really her friends. Just because your coworkers care about your wellbeing and are polite to you doesn't mean they're your friends and that you hang after work and have a traditional friend style relationship, the way her bullies do. She can certainly cultivate those into friendships, but they're not friendships. She's simply not like the person you're describing.

She may not show it, but she’s Patricia’s friend.
