They say 

But how can they know that it's hard? 

You can tell us anything

They say 

But how can they know that you don't know what to say?

What's wrong?

They ask

But you wonder if they actually want to know 

Is there anything I can do to help?  

They ask 

But you know that there is nothing they can do to help

It's okay  

You say

Because sometimes that's all you can manage
