How do you know?
How do you know when someone doesn't want to talk to you? How can you tell that someone wants to say something but they don't because they're scared of what you might say or think. How can you help someone to just let go?

That has always been relatively easy for me, because I'm super perceptive. Meaning; I can pick up on the things unsaid, not in a creepy way. But I can just tell when somethings wrong when no one says anything, for the longest time I thought everyone could tell, but not everyone can.
Watch the persons body language, their posture, how they speak to you, if they are giving you eye contact, their hand gestures, if they are paying attention to you..
If they have something they want to say but don't because they seem scared or something, just keep a look out at the things I mentioned above, it works for both, if they DONT want to talk to you, their posture will pretty much show it, and if they have something they want to say, but just cant bring themselves to, they may.. start to say something and then hold back, prod them on. Sometimes people just need a little push.

Well, generally if someone doesn't want to talk to you, they'll act distant and kind of rude. They might end the conversation abruptly, or appear to be bored. If you get the feeling from someone that they're only talking to you to be polite, then they don't really want to talk to you.
It's hard to tell when someone wants to say something but they don't because they're scared. Mostly, you can't tell. The person might call your name and say nevermind, and generally that means that they wanted to say something but didn't. It's better to just say what you feel rather than feeling like you lost the opportunity to do so.
The last question, however, is the toughest. Most people hate letting go of people; it's not a natural instinct. You can't "just let go", instead, it's a slow, painful process. Explain to the person that eventually, they will feel better, and that you will always be there to help them. Tell them that they aren't alone.
