How I Knew My Friend Was Upset at Brunch

Last weekend, I was sipping coffee across from my friend and just felt something was off—even though she kept saying she was "fine." It made me realize how much we pick up on, even when no one spells it out. Here’s what I look for: • Tone of voice—if it’s flat or a bit too sharp, that usually says a lot. • Tiny facial changes, like a quick frown or a smile that doesn’t quite reach their eyes. • Body language—crossed arms or avoiding eye contact always catch my attention. • My gut feeling. If something feels weird, I try not to ignore it. It’s wild how much we say without words. Next time you’re with someone, see if you notice these little signs too. How do you usually tell when someone’s not really "fine"? #EmotionalIntelligence #BodyLanguage #EverydayConnections #Health #MentalHealth
