That makes it even more unlikely that Ruby is sociopath. Only if you take it super-literally. But they're not talking with facts, they're talking with symbolic metaphorical words that don't really mean anything important by themselves. Or in other words, the exact word-choice is pure nonsense designed to sound deep.

Which isn't bad per se; if they didn't use grand nonsense in that conversation the result would've been much more boring. But it also means that one should not take every single letter as the absolute fact.

Also, you forgot a simple thing: If you suscribe to the idea that Ruby bottles everything up and just pretends everything's fine, then one is effectively saying that Ruby is a liar.

Even if her reasons were "selfless", a facade is still a lie. Quite the "honest soul", no?
