my seemingly sad friend
15f
hey so one of my best friends always seems unhappy. like when i see her in class or in the hallway she just looks really pissed / sad. so, naturally, i ask her what's wrong and she gets annoyed because it's just her natural expression. but sometimes, she tells me something that's bothering her. i don't want to constantly ask, "what's wrong?" cause i can see why that's annoying and yeah i'm not expecting her to be smiling 24/7 but how am i supposed to distinguish between when she's just neutral or when she's mad / sad? do you really think that's her natural expression... ? like she beams when she's laughing but otherwise she just looks pissed, and this is especially frustrating for me when i comment on something and she doesn't respond. i want her to know i'm there for her but in what ways can i ask, "what's wrong?" without explicitly asking that? i already use, "how are you?" ..

Sometimes my natural expression is like that. I'm like sitting there having a good day and someone will ask, "whats wrong?" I'll be like, "nothing, why?" they say, "oh you look mad" Its weird though. She might be going through something hard for her and when she is ready to talk to you then she will. Just let her know that if she ever wants to talk that you'll be there for her. So after that you can stop asking her, "whats wrong?" or "how are you?" so she doesn't get annoyed by that. So good luck and I hope everything goes well!

I have a friend that used to be like that. She suffers from depression. And i honestly didnt know what else to say because i saw that everytime i asked what was wrong, she would get even more pissed off and annoyed.
So, i started waiting for her to talk to me. I would know how her mood was by what she said to me. And then i just went on from there.
You could also think of something funny to say when you first see her, and see what happens from there :]
Good luck
