Does friendship even exist?

I like this guy at work well enough, but today he mentioned a personality evaluation saying that he works hard to be liked/is afraid of being disliked, and it was something I noticed before slightly, but it really snapped into place, that his friendly demeanor is prophylactic. He's going out of his way to be likeable to prevent being ostracized. Why?

Poor physical genetics in terms of size probably lead to him being discounted by others often.

Coupled with

Very High IQ, near perfect SAT scores, likely making people turn on him for being a 'know-it-all' or 'annoying'.

I think most people would hit a button that would kill any person they know and get a $3 raise if they were filled with the absolute assurance that they would never be found out.

Depends on your definition, but I would say yes.

Yes it does and usually comes from someone you least expect.

Yes, but they are few and far between. If you're focused on your goals and missions, friendships will come by and appear themselves. And you'll know.

Yes and trust me it’s a blessing when you realize you got it

Not without Conditions, i just don’t believe it is in human nature to love or to be supportive unconditionally. Alot of Hollywood media would like us to think so, which i find pretty funny lol.
