<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

I met someone on the train to work today. He was offering me or the guy next to him his monthly pass because he wouldn't be needing it anymore. He went on to explain he had just been laid off (not government shutdown related) from his software job in Boston. I told him he should sell it because he could probably use the money (and because I already had one.) We continued talking for a bit, I told him my work was hiring part time, and I think I must have brought up his job one too many times, he interjected and told me something along the lines of, "I appreciate your kindness, but please leave me alone, I just need to grieve. I'm sorry." 

My heart almost broke. I wanted to give him a hug and tell him everything was going to be okay. I wanted to give him something or do something for him... But I just felt restricted, I didn't want to cross any invisible lines placed by society that you're not supposed to cross. Line's like "You're on public transit," "Don't hug strangers," "Don't hug other men." Stupid shit, that didn't matter to me at all in that moment. But for some reason, it mattered enough to paralyze me from doing what I wanted to do deep down. 

What if this guy went home and killed himself? I know he had a kid, it's probably pretty unlikely, but seriously? What if this was one of those "I could have saved his life" moments. I didn't have much to give right then, but I wanted to give him my bracelet. It's simple, doesn't mean a whole lot to me, but it could have meant a lot to him.. To know that 1 stranger out there cares that he's having a seriously shit day, and 1 person thinks he deserves more than he's getting. For whatever reason I didn't, and just said what I thought I should say. "Hang in there buddy, I hope things work out."
<bot>: I regret not giving my bracelet to this stranger, who just got laid off, as a small attempt to show that someone out there cares just a little.
