Less good

I've recently noticed how people avoid asking people how they are feeling if they can sense that the answer is anything but good.

If you notice that a person isn't acting like their usual self.
They seem down,
different
sad
angry
Why don't you ask what's wrong?
Maybe they need someone?
Maybe they just need to feel that someone cares?
It's not about solving problems, or making things better.
It's about talking, and letting them know that you're there.

It's lonely at the bottom
