True, it does seem to be mostly one-sided on Ella’s side, but Shawn is still on good terms with her at least. Though I’m not sure the girl cat-fighting argument always applies, as Heather and Leshawna constantly brawled, Josh watched Gwen and Heather’s cat fight, and the Amazon girls duked it out in Sweden Sour while Team Chris watches in amusement. The characters who restrain fights are usually the nicer one’s like Shawn or Geoff.

I don’t think he explicitly stated he didn’t want friends, just didn’t want them to be too close, due to risk of forming attachments or attracting zombies. He didn’t try to push Dave away, he was just wary of whenever he might compromise his safety.
