patience

what do you do when a friend of yours is in a funk?
someone in my life has been in the weirdest mood and i can't figure them out.
like, the past two weeks have just been really strange, they have become distant and short tempered and don't want to talk about anything and it is so out of character.
i don't know, i guess i just need to wait it out, they will come around sooner or later, but it is just a little frustrating i guess.
also, if i ask them if they need anything or want to talk about something they tell me it isn't a big deal and to just not bring it up...which is fine, i drop it after they say that, but it is how they say it...very authoritative, which again is weird, because it is me just putting their needs first, that is what friends do if they care about someone, they put their needs first, right?
and hanging out with this person has been difficult too because they won't talk, this friendship lately has been very one sided, they have been there for me, but they won't let me be their for them and typing it out isn't helping like it usually does.
this will just have to take time.
i hate being patient, but i don't really have a choice.
