How to Comfort Your Friends When They Feel Sad

There's a saying, "a real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out." Yes, a good friend is someone who's there to provide support when times are tough and someone you can rely on. But often, you are confused about how to soothe and comfort your friend. Here are something you should know when your friend need consolation.

1. Listen first

Listen to what he says, don't cut it before he finished his talk. Focus your eyes on him and be an active listener, when your friend stops for a while and looks at your reaction, repeat what he just said, but in your own words, to show that you're really listening.

2. Focus on positive things

Give compliments to the positive things from him. Express what you admire about your friend and give a thought to him that he has something to be grateful. For example: When he had just broken up from his girlfriend, you can comfort him by saying, "you still have family and friends

Friends Until The End - Of Time!

Do You Know Who Your REAL Friends Are?
Seriously...Do You?

Relationships tend to have a hierarchy as follows: 1. Strangers - Never met or even saw these individuals before in life... until the day you cross paths 2. Acquaintances - Still pretty much are strangers, except now you know their names and faces which allows you to conversate briefly on occasion when you see each other) 3. Associates - You are now past the stranger phase, at this time you know more about them other than their names and faces (their occupation, marital status, names of their children, etc.) which now increases your comfort level around these people for LONGER conversations but NOT hanging out just yet 4. Friends - At this point you are comfortable enough to introduce your other good friends to these fortunate individuals and actually spend some time hanging out with them. 5. Best Friends - Finally...they made it into your inner circle, meaning that if you have a secret or other private knowledge, they will be the only people to hear about it besides certain family members (very few people make it to this level).

We all were involved in one form or another, a situation where we lost a friend. The cause of the break up could be anything from arguing over a small amount of money all the way to stealing your friends girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband or vice versa. A physical altercation could have also taken place (never a good thing).
