You are talking to a friend and they are really sad about something and you want to talk to them about it but they wont tell you whats wrong?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
dont you hate it when....

yeah, but sometimes they don't want to talk... it can be hard, but sometimes when my friends were really sad about stuff, I didn't ask them what it was, I just stayed with them when they cried, and sometimes they told me what was wrong, sometimes they didn't, but I know they appreciated me being there even without me knowing what was going on.
But sometimes it is hard to not try to get it out of them what they are sad about.
I figure that there are times when people don't want to talk about it, and times when they do. I think it's good to ask them what's wrong, but also to give them space, while letting them know that if they need any support you are there.

I am that friend who won't talk to his friends about his problems. I feel that it's not anyone else's business unless I tell them. Now whenever I'm angry about something, they know to leave me alone. Eventually I'll snap out of it and start talking to them about what's going on (not always though), although I appreciate some gentle prodding. Just be supportive and let them know you're there for them.

I hate when people bring something up like something that's wrong with them. And then wont talk about it. Makes my head explode.

I completely understand, but usually I'm that friend that has something going on, but I don't talk about it...sometimes it's not because they don't trust you sometimes a person may not know how to open up.
