I would like some feedback to understand a topic that I don't quite get the meaning of.
24 years ago, I was at college and we were split into two groups to do a Visual Media excersise. One of the members of my group was approving our ideas, but offering none of his own. At one point, because I felt he was bored, I asked him what was up and he said he wasn't all that interested. The other group looked more lively, everyone was more laid back, so I thought he might be more comfortable in it. I asked him if he wanted to join them instead and this caused a strange reaction.
He looked at me like I'd just knocked his cap off and said, "I'm speechless, Paul." I was confused and didn't answer, not seeing why he would be, and then he said, "shut up, Paul."
I told him I was only making a suggestion and he said "don't push it, Paul."
Can you please explain why this person reacted the way he did?
