We all have many friends. Friendship means mutual understanding. And also it is great strength in life. Sharing only the happiness of life is not meant in friendships. Friendships value sharing the sorrows of the mind. It’s also important for friends to understand how to listen to it.
It is difficult to live around people who are in pain. But such people need more friends. Many do not know what to say or how to make calm their friends in their grief. Let’s see how to comfort them …
1. Talk on the Phone
The first thing a friend can do, when they have a problem is to call them on the phone. Sometimes they are not in the mood to say anything. But calling them and reminding them that you are there for anything can be a great relief. But at the same time, the friend’s manner of speaking should not be in the form of advice or understanding of things.
2. Acknowledge the Emotional State of the Friend
Acknowledge and understand the friend’s state of mind without prejudice. Stay with them in such a way that their current state of mind is right. Whether it’s happy or sad, stay with them embracing that feeling.
3. Do not Ask Questions; Just Speak
Do not bother asking unnecessary questions. Talk to them openly. They may find it more difficult if we ask questions.
4. Focus on Other Topics
When approaching people who are in pain, turn their attention away from what they are worried about. That’s something only friends can do. It is good to engage in distracting speech or other activities.
5. Be Careful to Stay Together
It is very important to be with those who are in pain. Be sure to be with them through chat or phone, even if they are not present. Your friends desperately need it when they are in trouble or misceries.
