what your Dunbar number really represents is how many low-resolution tulpas you can maintain. when you end a relationship and add a new one, your new tulpa will have glitchy residue of the last occupant of the slot. given sufficient intimacy this can infect the actual person

Bleed can be a feature. A tulpa can mediate many similar-enough shallow relationships, so you don't have to allocate resources to each person you meet. We all need an all-other-people tulpa to make society work.

(actually the book I've been reading is specifically about this exact topic and was responsible for coining the naive observer. he argues societies can be based on either the naive observer (superstition/belief/magic, ethics) or the all-knowing observer (faith, morality)
