If you’re not sure how to ask them about what’s going on, here are conversation starters Seize the Awkward recommends:
“Maybe it’s me, but I was wondering if you were all right.”
“I’ve noticed you’ve been down lately. What’s going on?”
“Hey, we haven’t talked in a while. How are you?”
“Seems like you haven’t been yourself lately. What’s up?”
“Are you OK? You don’t seem like yourself lately.”
“I know you’re going through some stuff; I’m here for you.”
“No matter what you’re going through, I’ve got your back.”
“This is awkward, but I’d like to know if you’re really alright.”
“I haven’t heard you laugh in a while. Is everything OK?”
“I’m worried about you and would like to know what’s up so I can help.”
“Is there anything you want to talk about?”
“Hey, you seemed frustrated today. I’m here for you. Want a hug? Or a chat?”
