He's just not that into you

The show is enjoyable, entertaining and thought provoking. And its highlight sometimes, the kindness and affirmation of friend does more harm than necessary.

Considering the main actress as she struggle to understand if he is interested in her (he is not), her friends justifies and provides reason for his silence, stood by her and comforts her also. Their actions paints a false reality to her and gave her hope.

Personally, I prefer candour. The rawer the better. Especially, when it is really necessary, to shake me by the shoulder when I am not listening to his truth.

I understand most people chose the safer path, to stood by the friend and said what is necessary to help the friend to ease the pain. The necessary is usually the kinder, gentle and softer truth. Again, the softness depends on the character strength and fragility of the friend self-esteem.

Rare is the person who can accept the first time, the reality that pains him, as voiced by another.
Time does help to prepare the person, it is also make the reality that occurred not relevant any more.
