I'm tired of my friend pretending to put up with me, how do I address this?

You seem to want to deal with this entirely within the frame you’ve made for it, and aren’t really interested in how other people might interpret your feelings and wishes.

Specifically, you are insisting that we believe that your friend is “pretending” to put up with you, and you want us to see that you are “particularly blunt,” expecting us to come up with an answer that fits your desired approach to problems.

Maybe your friend isn’t pretending to put up with you. Maybe he’s actually sincere, and you are just having a reaction to what you perceive to be happening.

I have a girl friend who doesn’t like to get heavy. It’s a pain in the ass but I learn how to manage. She’s not insincere, she just can’t think the way that I do and perceives me as being a pain whenever I try to get deeper meaning out of her.

Either reframe the issue yourself, ask another question that doesn’t require absurd amounts of context, or just figure out how to relax and not demand so much from others. It’s annoying.
