A lot of conformism seems related to agreeableness, and to this mentality:

“Other peoples negative feelings matter, and i might make them uncomfortable if i engage them without explicit consent. Therefore, i shouldnt bother them”

I think one reason that telling someone lonely that other people are also lonely is because then the person sees it more like this:

“They are already uncomfortable, and might welcome me interacting with them.”
