When your friends are in pain, it’s only natural to want to cheer them up.
Don’t underestimate (低估) the power of words.
When someone is having a bad day, just calling to check up on them or giving a comfort can make someone’s whole day much better.
You don’t have to break the bank to cheer your friends up, but giving them a book, a movie, or even a meal can make all the difference when they upset. Think about your friends interests when choosing a gift. If they have a sweet tooth, consider sending them cookies.
Do not let them complain all day long. Instead, make plans with them, especially on important dates linked to their own happiness. For example, if they are suffering from a breakup, go out with them on an anniversary. If your friends don’t want to leave the house, considered staying in and watching a film or cooking a meal together.
Check in on your friends from time to time.
They may not want to bother you, but if you call and ask how they are doing, it can make all the difference.
