I wonder if it's because most of us wouldnt have a friend like Chris so we assume no one else would.Chris has friends. Legit friends. Because nerds (and normies in general) don't care.
For example, someone who constantly begs for money for bills, buys toys with that begged money, plays with lego all day, a brony, someone with poor hygiene, or someone who thinks the world owes them everything, and just overall someone who acts like Chris. Yes I get that things where scripted, but we've seen how Chris treats friends. We've seen how he handled wallflower and Megan and troll girlfriends.
I understand why people refuse to believe Chris has genuine friends. Very few people want a friend like Chris.
I guess I'm happy for him if he's got actual people who like him for who he is....
