Yeah, even the men because of the halo effect. Your looks not only affect your relationship with women but can also isolate from having male friends.
halo effect is a PSL term for the primal hierarchy.
The primarchy is the real deciding denominator for what creates companionship.
It's never been about friendship being esteemed as an isolated entity/ vacuum.
to believe in that is to again be a fairy braider/ a trope-holder.
and I think people want to believe in it as a matter of ego/ showmanship.
people know it's not true that people value friendship as a thing in of itself, and they only value distinction among individuals. Personal distinction like looks, money, status, height, dominance, regality, power.
People fear being outcasted (as if internal thinking that nobody can see has any merit when people aren't viewing you/ your brain) by just thinking weird. Some people really lack proper abstraction skills. Where they can't discern that just because you think something doesn't mean you have to make it evident, and it won't be apparent just because you are thinking it.
But the more you think on it the more you come off as some melancholic weirdo in the normie's scope. They are afraid of being ostracized from some cosmic instinct people might have than to understand the truth. People cannot really see beyond the common judgment platform of humanity. And that is what makes them locked-in into understanding themselves without thinking outside of the box.
The more outside of the box you think the more more weird the normieneurology will read the situation. And if you're trapped in anxiety, well all you got to help it with is either coping, or knowing it and making a resourceful game with it.
