That is probably because you don't encounter much friction with the people you run into. Everybody is nice when there is no conflict of interests.

Problems come when you are forced to exist within a tight society. Say you are in a homeowners council because you live in a condo and they are going to approve some budgeting for repairing the building. Problem starts there because somebody wants his cousin to be hired for the repairs, somebody wants to take advantage of the fact repairs are being done to repaint the facade in pink with yellow spots, and btw let's aprove a motion to have the neighbor of the 1st-C remove his courtains now he is not here to defend himself.

At that point you get people manipulating other people and then they smile at you while they try to fuck you as hard as they can because one time you mentioned a pink facade with yellow spots didn't suit a 18th century building classified as Historical.
