I wouldn't worry too much about what he's freaking out about, and worry more about the fact that he's FREAKING OUT about it. In my opinion one child shouldn't be so concerned that another child isn't playing their little game that they tantrum about it. He needs practice regulating his emotions!

My son likes to give hugs... A lot. I've got him asking the kids if they want one first, rather than barging in and attacking them (with love), and sometimes he asks me why the other kids are saying no. Sometimes he's upset, and I basically tell him to suck it up, but in nicer words. "If they say no, they don't want it. You can try again later." And if it gets to it, I tell him that no means no and if he's going yo be upset he needs to take a break to cool down. It's never gone past that.
