Wading back in . . . I did like the mirroring advice. I'm a solitary soul and would rather reply "nothing" when asked if something is wrong. I think a lot. Spend a lot of time writing. These avenues are how I figure out things.

Men in my life have tried to yell at me to talk and I retreat. If someone sat down calmly with me, I'd be more willing to discuss things.

"What's wrong?" can be taken many different ways, depending on the tone of voice used.
