Body Language FAIL

To say the least, my roomie has been going through some hard times this semester. At the beginning I was really good about noticing and acknowledging her body language and knowing when to make sure she was o.k.. Coming home from class today I was just plain tired and had enough worries when I walked through the door to find her on the couch. The expression on her face was pretty blank and her body seemed pretty tense. I knew she was having a hard time but I just walked on by, didn't say more then hello and went into my room.

I'm feeling pretty bad that I ignored her body language and didn't check to make sure she was alright. This is where I think we have a battle. If you truly know a person and by their body language you know that they are not doing well you will have to decide if you want to open that can of worms or ignore it. I know that from this experience that I will do all in my power to make sure that I at least make sure that the person is doing o.k. if I notice something is off about their body language. I should walk away just because I have had a bad day myself.
