Why doesn't a high pressure container have higher pressure loss?

Let's say you have a container and it is in high pressure? If the pressure is force exerted on the walls of the container. Each time particles hit the wall won't they encounter resistance? So doesn't high pressure, mean more resistance and results in low pressure overall. I mean with more force you hit the walls, higher the resistance force so at the end it is low pressure. Is the reason that this doesn't happen is because normally resistance is not high enough?

 

Also what do they mean by hydrostatic pressure loss? I understand what is hydrostatic pressure. If it is lost due to friction, what do they mean do the particles turn into heat or just stay there with no energy?
