The idea of laughter is one of the more subtle themes throughout the series. We’re introduced to all these characters with weird laughs and think it’s just another quirky world building element, but it builds into one of the pillars of the manga. People who are free tend to be people who are able to laugh. The ridiculous, the absurd, the ability to smile aren’t just central to One Piece’s identity, but to the Big Idea that Oda’s trying to convey. It’s no accident that the first time we really see Robin laugh marks the beginning of her first real friendship

Huge missed opportunity here, when Saul could have said that Robin’s power was “handy”.
And I in no way want to excuse Ohara’s local population of brats, but given the nature of Robin’s power it’s really easy to see how she was ostracized by her community. Her Devil Fruit power is straight-up body horror, and Robin’s aunt doesn’t seem to be the type who would tell the neighbors what a nice, intelligent, well-behaved child her niece is.
A later SBS also expands on this a little by getting into how Robin has always had trouble expressing herself, which is one of the reasons she’s often so quiet.
I can only see this as being more pronounced as a kid, when she’s out there getting her doctorate at the same time her peers are still learning their times tables.
All this to say, while Robin was a sweet kid who definitely deserved better, she was also weird as hell, and even in the best circumstances I think it would have been hard for her to make friends
