Because deep down to the core most Americans seem to be: rough and tough, mean and nasty, toxic and competitive, assholish, etc. Hence it's impossible to connect or bond with them. They aren't nice or sweet or kind or sensitive at their core even though they can pretend to be nice if they have to.
The mainstream American soul seems ugly and unfriendly and inhuman if you observe and think about it. I can see now why Americans don't like other people and cannot connect with each other since internally they are toxic, mean, assholish, ugly and nasty in the core of their soul and psyche. So naturally you will not like people like that if they are around you, and unfortunately most mainstream Americans are ugly and mean on the inside, even if they smile on the outside. You can sense it in their aura right?
You can't just be yourself and relax and be comfortable in America because the whole country is a battlefield where other people judge you on your social position in the competence hierarchy (by Jordan Peterson), a concept that you seem to refuse to acknowledge.
I'm going to lay it out here. Let's get real here. You don't work like the average man does in America. You don't know what it's like to have very little money and depend on a job to survive. Americans are judgmental towards other people. Also, people in America are afraid of losing or going down a level in social status or socioeconomic level. There's a big word in America for men called "loser". Men love to call other men "loser" because it makes them feel like they are above the "loser". It reaffirms their social positioning. Women don't even call other women losers because to women, winning and losing doesn't exist. Women are all on the same team. Men are just tools they use.
1. Standards. The standards are simply higher in America. Standards means a higher level of quality. If someone doesn't meet their standard because they are weird, or not in their same social strata, they will reject them. Because of the higher standards in America, people choose to associate with those who meet their standard and reject the ones that don't.
2. Stakes. The stakes are simply higher in America. There's more money on the table in America. More money to be won and more money to be lost. There's a lot of opportunities to make money, but those opportunities are very competitive. Therefore, you have to selfishly compete against others to win. Raise the stakes and people will get meaner and nastier and greedier.
3. People are always wanting to outdo each other. Because the job market is very competitive, you have to always compete against others to show that you are valuable.
In conclusion, America is a country with higher standards, where the stakes are much higher (both winning and losing), and where people are always in a state of relentless competition. That's why people are the way they are.
