[ While kind, Ren has long come to terms with not being loved and adored by all of his acquaintances. He waves her off with a light heart. ]

Nah, don't worry about it. I know I'm amazing and so are my insights.[ /fingerguns

Joking aside, Ren isn't ignorant of the delicacy of the subject, just possibly his biases might do more harm than good if he laid it all out there. He worries. Worry is more often motivating for him than paralyzing, and he forgets that other people don't have his reckless bravery when he makes wild suggestions about pouring your heart out to your best friend, just because it turned out neutral-to-okay for him.

He doesn't know Pidge's friendships. Maybe over the long run he could make that bigger ask, but for now it's coffee and a bit of therapist couch, leaning forward onto his forearms. ]

Maybe a little dumb. A little. There's always a risk that something doesn't come out how you want it to, but I still think you can trust him with it.

I guess I'd ask what would be so bad about looking at you differently in that case? I don't think a close friend would try to distance themselves from you or throw it back in your face.

[ It's a world of difference between Ren standing before her and declaring his undying love and Pidge telling Hunk she has more-than-friends feelings for him. There's one guy to be a lot less certain of and the other to have every confidence that he'd treat her with the respect and love they'd built as friends over time. ]
