And then the syncophants dogpile on that person, accusing them of being "mean" and "not a real friend."
I think you mean "psychophants."
These people are doing the LEAST they can do--I think they do it sincerely, but it is the least amount of work for them--which is encourage you to do nothing. Doing something (examining behavior, making a change in your life) would be upsetting and hard work. They aren't interested in that. They want to keep everything the way it is, that's apathy.
