People with stronger animal instincts are often less worth deep friendship.

The so-called strong animal instinct essentially means being driven by instinct, lacking self-restraint and empathy, and understanding human relationships as naked power dynamics and利益斗争.
These people usually have several obvious characteristics: impulsive emotions, only focusing on immediate gains and losses, lacking boundaries, insensitive to others' feelings, and even habitually testing and crossing lines.
In their world, there is no genuine respect, only who is stronger and who is easier to manipulate.
It is precisely because of this that they distort all normal social signals.
Your qualities, education, and kindness are not understood as cultivation in their eyes, but are interpreted as "animal logic" similar to theirs— not respect, but submission; not politeness, but flattery.
When you speak kindly, show understanding, or even affirm, they do not respect you for it; instead, they tend to develop a strange sense of superiority, feeling you are inherently inferior to them.
They are not communicating with you; they are subconsciously ranking the relationship.
Dealing with such people, the problem is never that you are not strong enough, but that the other person fundamentally exists on a different level of understanding.
You communicate with rules, respect, and boundaries, but they judge only by instinct and strength.
So, rather than trying to make them understand you, it’s better to see early and stay away.
