HOW TO DEAL WITH SAD FRIENDS 

Friends are one of the most important people in our lives. We all have different kind of friends like best friends, real friends, funny friends, dramatic friends and etc... They are the ones who can make you laugh, cry or make you feel sad and happy. They can make you believe that there is still good in the world. When you're down and you feel sad and empty, they are also the ones who can lift your dark world and make you happy. Having that someone who deals you in your sad times is really the best and I want to be that kind of friend.

 So how do we deal with sad friends?
1.) Open the conversation. Let him/her know that you are willing to listen.
2.) Listen to your friend. Understand him/her because sad people just need someone to listen to them because they feel lonely and alone.
3.) Focus on listening. Know when to say things and show them that you understand by using body language.
4.) Talk slowly and give respect to them because sad people needs comfort.
5.) Show them that you are willing to help them because sometimes they feel alone. Give advices like "you're not alone". (An example for them to not worry or overthink things)
6.) Give them warm hugs because hugs can help them relieve their stress or pain. Ask them first if they need one because some may not feel comfortable with physical contact.
7.) Ask if you can do anything. Do things that can make them happy or go to their favourite places together with them. Offer support or help and make sure that you are serious in ending the conversation.
8.) Check on them. Text, Call or Talk on them and ask them like "How are you doing?" Or ask their day.

These can help them feel a lot better and It also feels good when you can help someone with your pure, kind heart. Not just on friends but also to anyone who is struggling or someone who id having a sad/ bad day. 🙂
