... sometimes you gotta check on your people and make sure they good mentally
Really gotta look for changes in their routines, habits and interactional characteristics ... a lot of times they’ll present as their “normal” selves ... perhaps even more jovial than normal, then one they self later that day.
Gotta look for more reclusion, withdrawal... starting to consistently care less about things they cared about ... a wholesale shift in perspective that’s seemingly out the blue... check for affect. But honestly , unless you’re around or communicating with that person a lot, you’ll likely never know. Once you get out of college, it’s tough to keep up with folks.
And often when folks are at that point , it really ain’t no more talking. Preemption is the key.
Underscores the point of trying to make sure you continue to cultivate your relationships as an adult.
