((((((Sol)))))) I think the best response might be no response. I think he is talking more for himself than for you, he's trying to make himself feel better. And maybe feeling lonely, and wanting to talk you into some short term bad decisions. But he isn't saying anything that actually changes a thing, right? It's all, "see, I'm not so bad", but there isn't any actual change in his course of action, or even a real suggestion that he wants to change his course of action.
