I don't know whether you've actually met person like Mai before; it's not easy for them to make friends. She realizes she is different and (/but) she refused to change (to put in a more extreme: wears masks - faking it) to conform to her surrounding. The sad reality is birds of same feathers flock together. In 'Break Time' people gather around her, but as the novelty wears off (without anyone clicks in), people ignore her in 'Break Time 2'. Yukko is the first to accept her for who she is.

In her own way, she treasures her friendship (e.g. friendship for life voucher). She has three modes: ignore (most people), annoy (Yukko and Mio - e.g. manga contest submission episode) and be kind (Hakase & Nano). I wonder if it'll be put to light why she treats Mio and Nano differently.

Say, have you ever try to listen to her Mai no Namida no Amida Nyorai ? On the surface she sounded sexy and I didn't like it -- doesn't seem to fit her image imho. After I tried to really listen though, my impression changed. This kinda represent her: prejudiced, misunderstood.
