I saw a man crying hard in the street... and although I wanted to stop and ask him how he was... I didn't.
Why didn't you ask him how he was?
I don't know. I thought I would be yelled at.
You should have stopped and asked why he was crying. It's a humane thing to do.
I just wanted to be on my way because it was bothering me.
I somehow think that if you asked him about the crying he would have been happy to open up to you. Next time don't be afraid. No matter what his reaction, it would have still made you feel good for asking and being concerned.
