The thing
The thing is, it's weird not to say anything, if you're a friend or a human, that sort of thing. There may be many ways to say it wrong, but the most wrong thing is to carry along, tra la la, like nothing's going on. That's just untenable, right? It's not authentic. Ask her. Some people are modest and introverted, some people are bold and brash; it doesn't matter. You are her friend. Ask her what's up. And then you can deal with whatever she tells you. But you can't stay silent. Silence is for strangers on the bus.
