2nd pd: Imagine this: You’re at a party, and your best friend has been acting strangely ever since they lost a family member. They’ve become suspicious and withdrawn, and you’re worried about them. Suddenly, a mysterious guest arrives and starts telling a story that feels eerily similar to what happened to your friend. You notice your friend’s reaction changing as they listen—are they upset, angry, or guilty? How would you handle this with your friend? by Beth Fulks

I'd approach my friend discreetly, asking if they're okay. The story might be triggering painful memories. I'd offer support and suggest we step outside for fresh air, giving them space to open up if they wish. Their reaction could indicate unresolved grief or hidden emotions.
