What's bothering you? · What's on your mind?
Ever seen a friend staring blankly into space, looking a bit down, or just not themselves? 🤔 This is your go-to phrase to gently ask what's up, without being nosy! It's like asking what 'problem monster' is quietly nibbling at their peace of mind. 😉
🚨 **Pro Tip Alert!** This expression is super useful when you sense someone has something on their mind. It shows you care! 💖 You can also use it metaphorically to describe a stressful situation, like 'This project is really eating at me.' (This project is really bothering me.) So versatile! ✨ Remember to use a soft, concerned tone when you ask – it's all about empathy, not interrogation! 🗣️
When would you most appropriately use 'What's eating you?' A. 🎉 When your friend just won the lottery and is cheering loudly. B. 😟 When you see a colleague looking unusually quiet and stressed in a corner. C. 🍽️ When you are enjoying a delicious meal with your family.
