Everything you said there is reasonable, but the way you expressed it is very off putting.

Everything I say is off-putting to someone. I'm inclined say your comment is off-putting, but I'm actually fine with letting people feel what they feel without leveraging emotional obligations at, or demanding hedging-rituals or pointless niceties from each other.

Though this criticism is really just a difference of culture: the ability to separate the useful truths from pleasant feelings is a high virtue where I come from.

I don't get it. What's off putting to you about this?
