Each of those times, when facing a smaller pocket pair, you are about a 82% favorite (from card players hand calculator). So not every single time you will win.

Everyone has those bad run of cards. I'm sure you are just exaggerating, but if you aren't then it's just bad luck. No one can control the cards every single time, so people will hit there one outers once in a while.
No, this happened in a 30 minute period. I did not mean literally consecutively.. but I meant, I was faced with this situation 4 times and lost each time. I did not get a higher pocket pair than someone else and when the hand. Literally everytime I had a high pocket pair, I lost to a lower pocket pair. I've never hated seeing a high pocket pair more
