1. For example, Pyrrha. She's a 4-times Champion with great skill and talent, which makes people put her in a high pedestal and thus supposedly avoid socializing with her (which is kinda BS but whatever).

2. Blake [...] already had that Semblance even before she left the White Fang, before she first "ran away". So her Semblance truly reflecting how Blake "always runs away" is even more questionable.

3. Yang uses her Semblance when she's angry, because when she's angry she wants to hit harder and her Semblance does exactly that. However, she also uses it even if she's not angry. 1. People did not avoid socializing with her. Her problem was that the socialization and relationships that she received were shallow and were based upon the fact that she was a celebrity. Hell, even Weiss had ulterior motives for trying to team up with her before the initiation. She wanted to be partnered with the strongest girl in class, and she thought "We'll be popular! We'll be celebrities! We'll get perfect grades!" Weiss is a perfect example of people approaching Pyrrha for shallow reasons, rather than a desire to get to know her as a person and an equal.

That was Pyrrha's problem.

2. Not only that, at the time, Blake considered her parents to be the cowards, for leaving the White Fang.

3. I think another reason that Yang uses her Semblance when she's angry has to do with the repeated thing we've been seeing where people accidentally activate their Semblance while feeling a large amount of negative emotion.

Yang's Semblance activates when she's pissed off, even if she's just arguing with someone, like in Burning the Candle. Or when she's just standing around watching crazy stuff happen, in Players and Pieces.

Pyrrha accidentally used her Semblance to slam Jaune into a wall while crying and freaking out from internal conflict.

Weiss accidentally summoned a Boarbatusk while very angry and worked up at the Schnee charity ball.
