As many times as I've seen the death of a relationship: be it friendship, intimate, etc.; I still hate seeing it or feeling it...yet it occurs far too often with us. People close themselves off from one another due to misconception, apprehension and sometimes even paranoia. Or perhaps it's something more dreadful than the three put together:

I don't think it's necessarily because people are uncomfortable with people showing emotions (the majority of the time anyway), it's just that perhaps they feel that whatever it is, it's none of their business. Yeah sure, there's a discomfort factor at times, but sometimes people don't know what to say or do in a situation like that.

She may have appreciated you taking time to just talk to her, even if it is only subconsciously. She was probably more embarrassed than anything that she couldn't keep her tears back at work. People do generally ignore people who cry. They turn the other cheek because "life goes on" or they just don't want to hear what the problem is because then it somewhat becomes theirs to reciprocate some form of empathy/ sympathy. And in cases where people are beaten on the streets, many people just stand there and gawk because they don't want involvement in it because "they already have enough on their plate". We all do, and it is refreshing to see acknowledgement from someone about matters people just want to sweep under the rug.
