When a friend is troubled, as their confidant, we certainly want to help them ease their emotions and get them back on their feet. So, how do you enlighten them?
First, we need to listen patiently. Don't rush to give advice or solutions, sometimes friends just need someone to understand their feelings and listen to them. We need to respond with a tone of concern so that they feel that we care and support us.
Second, we can give positive encouragement and affirmation appropriately. Sometimes, a friend may lose confidence in themselves and feel lost and helpless. At this time, we can give them some affirmation and encouragement, so that they can regain their confidence and firm their direction.
In addition, we can provide some constructive suggestions and assistance. Of course, this requires us to understand the specific situation of our friends and give appropriate suggestions according to the actual situation. At the same time, we should respect the wishes of our friends and not force them to accept our suggestions.
Finally, we can accompany our friends to do something relaxing, such as walking, listening, watching movies, etc. These activities can help friends relieve stress, relax their minds, and help them better cope with their worries.
In short, when a friend is troubled, we need to listen, give encouragement, give advice, and accompany them to relax. In these ways, we can make our friends feel cared for and supported and help them get back on their feet. At the same time, we should also respect the feelings and wishes of our friends and not interfere too much in their lives. Only in this way can we truly become the support of our friends.
