I think a comment like that would really set me off too. I think anything that you can take as an implied criticism is particularly hurtful if it comes from a T. I'm sure what she meant was that you will feel isolated when you've acquired some friends, in the natural scheme of things.
Sometimes I find that the things that sting the most are the ones that I'm defensive about to begin with. Is your lack of friends an issue that you have or haven't discussed with her. Do you have a hard time making friends. I do. I have lots of acquaintances whom I'm very friendly with, but very few true friends. I feel that I do very little to nurture my friendships and tend to disappear when I get depressed.
Whatever your own situation is, you need to discuss your reaction with her. It's all grist for the proverbial mill.
