I agree. I like being asked as well, as long as it is not obsessive when everything is actually okay. I know some people that get pissed off if you ask them just a couple times if something is wrong when it is very obvious there is something wrong. And one person even told me it is really not a good idea to ask other people what is wrong and just to let others come to me. Maybe she had a point but I still don't see a problem in asking someone whether or not they are okay, especially if they are obviously upset about something.
