Have you ever heard of the just world fallacy?

Basically in a nutshell the just world fallacy is the belief that on a universal gradscale bad behavior or bad people are always punished while good behaviour and good people are always rewarded. For instance as an example, a guy talks about how he's never had a girlfriend or a relationship and it's making him feel depressed and he feels lost in the dating world. Now not all but some people will tell him "Maybe you're not a nice person" "Maybe you're acting weird or being creepy" "Maybe you're saying something that turns women off" "Maybe you look bitter and women dont want to be around someone like that" implying that what's happening to him is justified because he's probably doing something wrong or acting a certain way thus deserves it. That's the just world fallacy. If you're a good person, you'll be rewared, if you're a bad person, you'll face the consequences. Are you gulty of this?
