Don't press her, said Cooper. If someone decides to leave something unsaid, my experience is that everyone is happier if they don't insist on his saying it.

Summary

Cooper advises against pressuring someone to express their thoughts or feelings. He suggests that in situations where someone deliberately chooses to withhold information or keep something unsaid, it is best to respect their decision. Cooper's experience suggests that trying to force someone to reveal what they are holding back often leads to discomfort and unhappiness for everyone involved. Respecting their boundaries and allowing them to share only what they are comfortable with promotes a more positive and harmonious atmosphere.
