I have a good friend and colleague, "J", who I get this feeling is putting up a facade to me. We allways have a lot of fun and I have no doubt he really appreciates our friendship. But I also feel like he is always keeping things very lighthearted to avoid "letting me in" if that makes any sense. Like he doesn't want me to know anything about how he's really doing emotionally etc.
So I wonder - is everything OK with him, is he happy? Or are there things he doesn't want me to know about? Maybe he's just really good at compartmentalizing his life and our friendship and working together goes somewhere else than his private life...
