I never thought of it that way. I've always seen it as "I should tell somebody about this prophecy but, oh, I'm so heartbroken and isolated". You're right, though, he's obviously influenced the Watcher's Council (which damaged him) and his relationship with his actual family (which damaged him even more).
Everyone does make things worse in the aftermath and there are moments when each of them say and do things that make me want to throw sticks at them (Fred's behavior in "Supersymmetry" is a fine example). This particular line from Wes made me go from feeling sympathetic to thinking "Oh, fucking get over yourself, Wes".
