No matter how a person finds himself, it is his business and responsibility.
If a person seems to be what you say is superficial, fundamentally lacking and totally opposed to what you like, so be it.
Why do you call what he says about himself unnecessary?
This can easily go in circles.
No ones opinion about himself is unnecessary. If you don't want to take the burden of listening, you can do that without telling people off, imho.
I could pull one of those horrid "down with the nonconformers" quotes, I don't think they do anyone justice. You are just somewhat more mature than him in your viewpoints, which does not make them any better.
Experience is not something to boast about, everyone is going to make many more relevant to himself than what we can offer. Even more he is in the position that is to be envied, because he has not come as far as to say;
Fashion is boring and superficial, everyone is the same anyways and the fuzz about friendship and likeness is is all just a big waste of time, because in the end, everyone is "nice" and everyone is trying to be "happy" and everyone is "selfish" and everyone is not "unique" and there are no surprises.
