That's a really interesting remark for him to make.
I can see how he might have meant it - to reassure you that he won't get overwhelmed by it all, because the appropriate boundaries ensure that he is not consumed by all the crazy **** coming at him day after day. But I would feel a bit alienated too because it's like him saying that's not my reality. I would feel 'othered'.
