I would say no. Yes Ruby does have problems making friends, but it seems that she really just as an issue making that first step. She quickly becomes friends with Jaune and Yang sort of pushes her into a friendship with Blake that was helped by them later being teammates. Ruby also grew up on a small island with (most likely) a smaller population, so friends probably came more naturally. As far as weapons go, she could just find them more enjoyable, similar to how some people would rather hang with their pet then their friends. I personally have the mind of an engineer and will find more joy in figuring out how things work instead of what the thing is. Ruby could be the same way, becoming excited at seeing how weapons work.
