If someone cries about something "stupid", he'll be the first to assure them that nothing that affects them in such a way is stupid, no matter how insignificant it may seem. He'll be the first to tell them that they cannot control their emotions, and that that's okay. That the way they feel about something — no matter how petty it might seem — says nothing about their morality.

With himself all that empathy disappears into thin air. If he feels sad or upset because of something Shen Qingqiu says, that's him being ungrateful for the very fact that Shen Qingqiu spoke to him at all. That's him being selfish and audacious, for having the gal to feel sad when what he had done to Shen Qingqiu was immeasurably worse. If he finds himself hoping for forgiveness, that's him overstepping, being self-centered, not feeling guilty enough for what he has done since he dares harbor such thoughts.
