Imagine that your close friend is going through a tough time, but they are not talking about it directly. How do you respond?

  • I am carefully observing his behavior and waiting for the right moment to ask him if he needs support.
  • I'm trying to subtly imply that I'm here for him, but I'm not putting any pressure.
  • I will directly ask him what is going on and offer help.
  • I will wait for him to confide in me himself, I don't want to interfere in his privacy.
  • I will start talking about my own experiences to show him that openness is not a weakness.
