I've recently pondered on why normies and society naturally show resentment towards us, and why they treat many of us so poorly - even if they have no reason to. I decided to look into a few small points on reasons why and broke them up into sections.
First impressions are heavily visual, and they set the tone for everything that follows.
When someone deviates from expected norms, they often receive:
This includes:
In many cases, people are reacting to perceived signals, not actual intent.
Social groups also naturally form hierarchies.
People regularly:
This can be clearly seen as disrespect and/or straight up bullying.
Others include:
When someone stands out too much, they can be subconsciously placed in the “out-group,” which leads to:
This also leads into:
If someone behaves in ways that don’t match expected social norms, normies may feel:
We have measured that the discomfort more often than not turns into avoidance or coldness against these individuals due to the differences, resulting in entire populations ostracising a single person due to the reasons listed above.
Normies don’t want to stand out or be judged, but to blend in and continue in one accord. They:
So even if they don’t personally dislike someone (or even have a reason to dislike someone) they won’t go against the group and accept him, but act in a cold way to avoid being seen as an outcast by their peers.

1. Physical appearance (looks)
- Attractiveness bias is real. People consistently treat more attractive individuals better.
- The halo effect means good looks spill over into assumptions about personality, intelligence, and social ability.
- On the flip side, less attractive features can trigger negative judgments before any interaction even happens.
First impressions are heavily visual, and they set the tone for everything that follows.
2. Neurodivergence / social differences
Social cohesion relies heavily on shared behaviour.When someone deviates from expected norms, they often receive:
- Less empathy
- More critical judgment
- Faster dismissal
This includes:
- Differences in eye contact, tone, or timing
- Interpreting social cues differently
- Being perceived as awkward, disinterested, or rude
In many cases, people are reacting to perceived signals, not actual intent.
3. Social skills & experience
- Lack of practice and experience in social environments - which can be argued is a result from the isolation and ostracisation from society, leading us to having less ability to develop personal skills.
- Difficulty with talks, phrases or group dynamics
4. Status & perceived value
It is known that:- People subconsciously rank others
- Factors like confidence, success, popularity, and competence matter
- Those seen as “lower status” often get less respect - in which this "lower status" is a result of the components mention above - such as ND, looks, or social skills.
Social groups also naturally form hierarchies.
People regularly:
- Distance themselves from those perceived as lower status
- Try to boost their own standing by excluding others
This can be clearly seen as disrespect and/or straight up bullying.
Others include:
Similarities
People feel more comfortable with those who are similar to them.- Shared behaviour = easier interaction
- Differences = uncertainty
When someone stands out too much, they can be subconsciously placed in the “out-group,” which leads to:
- Reduced empathy
- Less willingness to engage
This also leads into:
The fear of unfamiliarity
Humans tend to be cautious around what they don’t understand.If someone behaves in ways that don’t match expected social norms, normies may feel:
- Uncertain how to interact - or if they even should interact
- Uncomfortable or even anxious
We have measured that the discomfort more often than not turns into avoidance or coldness against these individuals due to the differences, resulting in entire populations ostracising a single person due to the reasons listed above.
Conformity pressure
Normies don’t want to stand out or be judged, but to blend in and continue in one accord. They:
- Follow group attitudes
- Avoid associating with those seen as “different”
So even if they don’t personally dislike someone (or even have a reason to dislike someone) they won’t go against the group and accept him, but act in a cold way to avoid being seen as an outcast by their peers.
