I rarely join any group when she is involved.
I was astonished that you call this lady your 'friend'!
I'm fairly sure that most of my friends are happy to be in my company. I would be devastated if I thought they didn't join a group because of me.
In fact, I would be thoroughly questioning our 'friendship'.
