I don’t want to talk about it

When someone says something that reminds you of something that is currently making you sad, and you reply “I don’t want to talk about it” but most of the times they reply with “can you please tell me?”
This often leads to people just saying “I’m fine” instead of expressing their true feelings.

Person 1: I heard you broke up with zack. I also heard that they shut down the chipotle near your house. And your dog died. Are you okay?
Person 2: I don’t want to talk about it.
Person 1: please tell me?!
Person 2: wtf.
