Communication Problem

I have a friend who I’ve gotten to know fairly well in a short amount of time. He’s admitted that he doesn’t share his feelings because it’s an “Irish Catholic” thing (I’ve never been part of an Irish Catholic family, so I wouldn’t know).

Anyways, I could tell something was off with him a few days ago because he was sending more Snaps then usual. I asked him if he was okay, and he said nothing was wrong. Then I asked him again, and something was definitely wrong.

Do you think I should just leave him alone if his initial answer was “nothing is wrong”? To me it seems like he wants me to ask, but I don’t know. I’m definitely not a mind reader.

I know I personally appreciate when someone presses a little bit, but I don’t know if guys feel the same way.
