If you're talking about Twilight's friends ignoring her feelings, they didn't know because Twilight wasn't expressing them. In fact, she was bottling them up. She was perfectly content to spend her weekend alone, and her friends accepted that. It's just she had no idea what she'd be missing at the time, and since she's a princess, she thought she had to set a standard for everyone. She thought something we all think at least once in our lives: that we should know better than to feel jealous of others. But that doesn't stop us from feeling that way, nor does feeling that way make us bad people. No matter how unpleasant it is to feel jealous, angry, or depressed, hiding those feelings from everyone--including ourselves--is even worse. That's the kind of beauty that can be found in this episode, even if the quality of its execution is debatable.
