gotta be direct about it. "hey, we gotta talk about x". just make sure the time and place is appropriate (not while they are busy with something else and at a private place)

Just make sure the timing is ok and kindly bring it up. For ex. If they’re actively ranting about their own problems don’t start on yourself, it’s their moment rn. But if you’re hanging out and it’s heavy on your mind bring it up. If for any reason you feel like their shutting down from doing that it’s a sign your need a different relationship
