I think the assumption that keeping a distance from most people is unhealthy is wrong. People are different in the kind of contact to others they prefer. At the same time, not keeping a distance is not by itself healthy. Miranda is perfectly fine as she is with only one or two people she's close to. It only becomes a problem if she seeks contact and can't.
I seriously HATE this widespread assumption that being introverted is a problem. *fumes*
She prevents all sorts of contact though. She states this IN game.
The response is "That's unhealthy."
And it is.
The issue is not introvertion. It's the inability to connect at all. Her character arc ends up just like Jack's. She really benefits from Shepard's influence.
I'm sorry, but "That's unhealthy" is ONE possible response. Not mine. Also, she never expresses a preference, except with her sister and Shepard. If she doesn't see a problem, I don't see why I should insist it is one. Really, the level of loathing I have for this kind of assumption cannot be expressed in words. It's just the same kind of thinking that says Miranda softening up means "humanizing" her. Staying distanced is just as human, damn it, and it's not better or worse than being the gregarious type. DAMN IT!
