Pearl has a very mixed reception for a reason. I like her, but a lot of people don't.

Flowey... I feel sympathy for because consider he was the pawn of some horrible monster of a child into being murdered and forced into the form of someone who literally could not feel any form of empathy or goodness,

Starlight Glimmer... no, Starlight Glimmer doesn't try to destroy reality. That's Midnight Sparkle you're thinking of. Starlight Glimmer never actually directly wanted to go beyond stealing the Mane Six's cutie marks and was unaware of the catastrophic effects it had on time (all of which pertained to the country, not reality at large) and once she was actually shown the worst of these consequences, that's when she started to snap out of it. So... your reasoning's a little flawed there.

As for "not having any friends" pathetic or not, keep in mind that is pretty much the underlying message of the show in general.
