I don't know what makes people act this way. I'm sure we all do it from time to time. But at least on the fitness/health front, I try to be supportive of my friends and coworkers and encourage them in anything they've expressed an interest in improving.
I guess it's kinda like how there's always THAT guy at a party who's saying, "Why aren't you drinking? Why don't you drink MORE? Want another drink?" when you've had your glass of wine and don't care for more.
Enablers.
