not interested in my descriptions of him or my subjective experience. I experience his words as indicating that he does not want my light or love. Which I completely respect. But once he communicates this it seems wrong to keep offering, and especially wrong to try and influence him or convince him.
What do you guys think?
i dont mind ANYthing, as long as whatever being done is done in honesty and without hypocrisy for the sake of convenience.

Lets say a child (lets say his name is Pablito Picasso) shows you a drawing he just made and you think "man, what a piece of crap". Now, you see, that will be your truth; so you tell the child using your well developed blue ray, "look kid, that is a piece of crap, I am just being honest".
Are you being honest? Or just dishonest by not realizing it is just what you think, (not the truth) exposed as truth? Your honesty was just the expression of a subjective feeling or opinion that was not deep enough to realize that a balance was required.
if you think that it is crap, you should tell it as such. or, if you want to exercise moderation, you can say smoothen the wordage to mean what it means, but in a less disturbing bluntness.
however, that is where 'rephrasing' and 'beautifying' wordage must stop. after that point you make it appear as if you are not actually saying you dont like it and think it is ugly at all, you are entering the realm of dishonesty. like in the current american political correctness plague that tells something while totally appearing to be saying otherwise.
as a historical side info, a lot of artists were told their stuff were crap at times in their life, and some of these occasions had good impact on their later works.
