Simplified Meaning:
When someone has a small problem, they usually talk about it a lot. They might complain or seek comfort by sharing their troubles with others. For example, if a person misses a bus, they might vent to friends or family about how annoying it is. However, when someone is dealing with a big, deep sorrow, like losing a loved one, they often find it hard to talk about it. The pain feels too overwhelming to put into words. In this case, they might withdraw and stay silent because the grief is too heavy to express. If you notice someone being unusually quiet, they might be going through something really hard, and it's important to give them space and support, showing that you are there for them even without having to speak.
