Also I know some people who regularly leave the bar without a word to anyone and don't see anything wrong with that, so I was wondering if there's a possibility he has no idea he did anything wrong.
Ok lets say that I say something to you that offends you and in my mind it is not my intention to offend you. Perhaps I am not even aware that I have offended you. Of course you don't assume why I said this thing and now you're confused.

But if you don't come to me and tell me that I have said something that makes you uncomfortable then how will I know that I have offended you? What if it's a subject you don't like? And what if I bring it up again because I can't see that it offends you? If for whatever reason I can't tell then you just sit there angry while I go on with my business. Of course I would be happy to apologize if you had told me. But if you don't say anything then nothing may change at all.

Saying nothing can only leave open misunderstanding.
