You should give friends space when they need it.
Adrian's friend Steve is going through a rough time in his relationship with his girlfriend and looks gloomy and depressed.
Adrian wants Steve to feel better.
Adrian asks Steve how he's doing and offers to chat if he wants to, then leaves him alone.
Adrian sits with Steve and asks him what is wrong, continuing to ask him when he evades Adrian's questions.
Steve recovers a bit and wants a friend to confide in, so he contacts Adrian to talk with him.
Steve withdraws even more and refuses to be around Adrian because it hurts too much to answer.
