Something that a lot of people have been asking recently is 'Are you okay?'. I know that when asking this they always mean the best but sometimes, people need to know when to stop. If you are repeatedly asking and making absolutely no progress, whoever insists that they are fine, maybe it's just that. They're fine and you're just making them question it themselves. And on the off chance that they're not fine, either (a) they don't have a clue themselves and they appreciate your support but also know where to find you if they need you, or (b) they have something that they want to say but not necessarily to you. Again, they appreciate your support but it's too difficult to say to you.
I know it's hard to come to terms with but occasionally people just aren't ready to talk but it's okay. I know that I push people to talk too hard sometimes but my best advice for anyone who does the same is to take a step back, let them know that you're there and let them deal with things in their own way for a little bit.
Sorry that today's letter was a little bit ranty Winter.
Keep smiling,
