I never pitched a VC. I actually never met such mythical creature, maybe you were about to touch his unicorn salad. Anyways, explanations for this:
- they are actually giving a heads up on how most of people will treat you or;
- there are just too many interviews and no time to make anyone fell comfortable.

Anyways, I remember in 2006 when I barely could speak english and was doing a master degree in the US. I needed to find a part time job to help me pay for unexpected expenses.
There was an interview at an investment firm: I felt like I was worth less than nothing. I almost cried after leaving the building. Anyways, 20 minutes after I left they called me and offered a position.
When we feel vulnerable anything people say to us we tend take it the wrong way or overreact.
