5. They cancel plans.
Has your friend started canceling on you out of a sudden? Have they started missing work or skipping school? It could be that they’re going through a rebellious phase, but it’s also a chance that they’re going through something privately.
As a good friend, it’s your job to talk to them and try to find out what’s going on. And even though they tell you that everything is fine, you need to look out for them as they might want to hide their true feelings.
Additionally, if they start canceling on the things they really love, such as going to the cinema, or attending a recital they’ve been rehearsing for months, it’s definitely a sign something is not right and you should keep an eye on them.
Because even when they don’t want to share, they still need someone to be there for them, they just don’t realize it.
