Yes,

she's having to become a whole new breed of Slayer, just a couple of steps ahead of those who will have to follow her.

Generally, Generals don't get to be friends to those who follow them. She got to be friends with the scoobies, but she can't afford that luxury anymore. If anyone is going to fill that role it'll be Faith, or maybe Vi, Rona etc.

Thanks,
