My worry

[fbhjr]

My friend Alan used to have a rule. If someone wouldn’t talk to him about
a problem, it must not be a big problem. And, he wouldn’t worry about it.
I’m worried other people might have a similar rule.
I don’t want anyone to be able to say “If he cared, he would have told me
it bothered him.”
As pointed out by several of you, my saying anything has the potential to
make things much, much worse. So, I haven’t said anything.
But, I’m afraid that silence could be taken as approval, disinterest,
apathy or consent.

So, I’m torn. Any communication could unleash an avalanche of bad. But,
am I making a mistake to not say “this does bother me, please don’t”?
