Believe it or not, some people have had it much tougher than the OP. And even though different people respond differently to the type of approach used in situations such as these, they'll tell you that they'd have loved it if someone had forcibly shaken them out of their apathy in order to avoid a situation that the OP is oblivious about, instead of telling them, "You'll be okay next time" or "At least you tried." For children, yes, sugar-coating truths is preferable, but for grown adults who are set in their ways, then the softly-softly approach is wrong. If he wanted advice from strangers, then he should've been prepared to take the rough with the smooth. Laying on a guilt trip was poor form.
