"If he just has things on his mind why wont he talk to me about them?"

I think some people like to talk about things as a way to help them work their way through it,
while other people like to talk about things after they've worked through it.

having an issue and needing help may be seen as a weakness,
having worked through an issue on ones own may be seen as a strength.
