And then there's alway that honesty thing. You could tell him what you feel just like you talked in this post. I come off as a mean bastard to people, and I need to be called on it occassionally. I'd rather have someone tell me to chill out to my face that harbor resentment towards me. BTW I really like people and don't know where I get it from, but since my Wife and close friends have made me aware of it, my all knowingness has calmed down a bit. Just my opinion, but I hate to see you dread seeing a friend.
