HOW TO CHOOSE A FRIEND

Watching a friend grapple with adversity can be very difficult. He could face anything: the death of a loved one, illness, separation, or simply poor grades in school. It is not always possible to cheer up a person, but there are things that will help him understand that you are always ready to be there and that you want to distract him from the pain.

Method 1 of 3: Be Near

Listen to your friend. This is one of the most important things that will ease a person's suffering, be it a breakup, the death of a parent, or failing an exam. Being actively involved will let the person know that you care about them and that you hear them. Often, knowing that you have been heard is valued much more than anything else.

  • When listening to the person, do not be distracted by anything. Don't look at your phone or talk to other people.
  • Look the person in the eye. Don't look straight - just remember that eye contact is a sign of interest. It will also keep you from getting distracted.

Let your friend cry. When a person is experiencing something painful, he needs to release emotions and give vent to feelings, no matter what worries him.

  • If your friend is crying in an unsafe place or a place where there are many people, try to take him to a secluded corner. For example, if it happened in a store, take him outside to the car or to the toilet.
  • Tell your friend that they can call you anytime they feel they are having a hard time. This is especially important for people who have recently lost a loved one or are overly emotional about their grief.

Soothe the person with touch. Touch has its own language, and it can explain to the person that you are near and that he is safe with you. But first, ask the person if they want to, because not all people are good at touching.

  • Hugs are very important. They can be soothing, so if your friend is upset and struggling to contain his feelings, hugging him or just touching an arm or leg will help him.
  • Touching is especially important for people who have lost a loved one (due to separation or death). They will feel the loss of a person very keenly, even in a physical sense, and touch will help them cope with pain.

Learn empathy, not empathy. Empathy is when you are worried about the pain a person is feeling, rather than feeling it with them. Learn to feel the emotions of the other person.

  • For example, your friend Masha's husband died. Empathy is expressed like this: "Poor thing, I'm so sorry you lost your husband." Empathy is expressed as follows: "Masha, I understand how you feel, and I know how you loved your husband."

Relieve your friend of any responsibilities. When a person is experiencing strong emotions, it can be difficult for him to go about the usual activities. Tell your friend that you are ready to help him, and take on some of his tasks - this will make his life easier.

  • You can prepare meals or help with cleaning the apartment. It is on cleaning that most often there is no strength left in difficult times.
  • Encourage a friend to go to the store instead of him or to take him to the doctor's appointment.
  • Offer to help with your studies and homework, or bring a friend's favorite food to class.

Give your friend little gifts. This will remind him that there are people who care about him. This is especially important if you live on the other side of the country or in another country. You may not always be physically close, but you can prevent your friend from suffering alone.

  • Bake a cookie your friend likes and mail it with a note.
  • If your friend recently lost a loved one, write him a letter and tell him what that person meant to you. People love to hear stories about those who are dear to them, because it brings to life in the memory of the departed people.
  • If the person is going through a breakup, send them something to cheer them up: a funny postcard or story, an old photo of you fooling around together, or something similar.

Method 2 of 3: Distract a friend

Indulge him. A person suffering from pain needs to be taken care of. This is your task! Let your friend know how much you care about him and how you want him to get better by doing something nice for him.

  • Invite him to a cafe or cook dinner yourself. You can go out and eat high-calorie foods that are usually calming.
  • Spend the day at the spa if you are a girl. Even if you don't have the money for professional treatments, you can do it at home. Buy manicure and pedicure kits and make face masks.

Go for a walk. A change of scenery can distract a person from sad thoughts. Take a walk around your area, noticing something new, unusual, or interesting.

  • Move the conversation to something else. Instead of spending hours discussing the problem, talk about the color of the sky or the strange smell you are smelling.

Arrange a movie show. Films and TV shows will distract a friend from his worries at least for a while. Watch a movie at home by making popcorn or buying candy.

  • Don't watch sad movies. If your friend's father died of cancer, avoid movies where cancer is mentioned or where one of the heroes' parents dies. If a girl leaves a friend, you shouldn't watch movies about relationships.

Do something new together. Something new and unusual will distract a person, because he will think about something unusual and will not dwell on what does not give him rest.

  • Do not impose something new on a person without asking him first if he wants it. This may upset him even more, and this is not what you want.

Help someone together. Helping others calms down, increases empathy, and builds resistance. A person who is going through hard times needs all of this.

  • Volunteer. Volunteering is a great way to do something for the good of the community, help someone, and get involved in something important. Do some charity work, help an animal shelter or other organizations.
  • Try the two of them to cheer up a mutual friend. Often, joint efforts give a positive result - a person calms down, because he sees what problems others have.
  • Do something nice for someone. You can cook for another friend (you both will love this), help him with the cleaning or homework.

Go somewhere. Traveling helps you unwind and relax. New places captivate a person and make him forget about his grief.

  • You can go on a long journey: on a tour of Europe or in the mountains.
  • You can do something less ambitious: go to the river on the weekend, go for a drive in the nearest cities just like that.

Method 3 of 3: Avoid Common Mistakes

Don't tell your friend that they just need to cheer up. This is almost the worst thing you can say to an upset person, especially if they are struggling with depression and anxiety at the same time. By saying this, you are telling the person to stop being sad.

  • Remember that people are free to feel what they want. If they try to put a smile on their face, although they still feel sad inside, they will only get worse.
  • If you ask someone to stop being sad, it will reflect your feelings (you feel bad because your friend is bad), not the friend's feelings. You will actually say that your discomfort over his sadness is more important than his grief. If you are a true friend, you should not be doing this.

Don't turn the conversation over to yourself. This mistake is often made by many people. It seems to you that you are talking to the person about his problem, but in reality you are talking about yourself.

  • You can give an example from your own experience, but do not translate the entire conversation onto yourself.
  • For example, you cannot say: "I know how it feels when you are abandoned. Do you remember how Andrei left me in front of everyone? I felt so bad then, but I went through it. In recent months, I feel quite calm."
  • The thought should be formulated as follows: "I know that you are in pain. It will surely become easier over time, but now it will be difficult. I will be there, no matter what you need."
  • Ask questions that will encourage the person to talk about themselves, and don't overwhelm them with information about their past. If a friend talks about a breakup, ask how he feels and what kind of help he needs from you, and do not explain to him what is happening to him or how you felt in a similar situation.

Don't give advice unless asked to do so. Very often people do not want advice, especially if they just need to speak out. They usually need someone to listen to them and find out what they are going through.

  • Don't say, "I know your cat is dead. Maybe you should go to an animal shelter and get yourself a new cat? Many animals need a new home." With such advice, you will devalue the feelings of a person who has just lost a loved one.
  • Better to say this: "I'm so sorry that your cat died. I know that you loved him very much. If I can do something for you, just tell me."

Know when to suggest seeing a psychologist. Often times, people are unable to cope with their emotions on their own. In such cases, a friend may advise you to seek help from a psychotherapist. There is nothing wrong with that, especially when it comes to divorce, death of loved ones, or illness.

  • Look for signs of depression: inability to concentrate and remember details, difficulty making decisions, lack of energy, insomnia or excessive sleep, sad or anxious thoughts or feelings of emptiness, physical pain and other health problems that cannot be treated, and thoughts and conversations about suicide, feeling helpless and worthless.
  • When it comes to a therapist, do not tell the person that they are sick and that they need help. Say this: "I know that it is very difficult for you, so it seems to me that you can try to turn to someone who can help. Remember that I will always be there."

Advice

  • It can be difficult to find the right words when a friend is suffering. Very often it is enough just to say that you are always ready to be there.
  • If you feel that you are taking your friend's emotions and concerns too close to your heart, take a break from communication. Being the person who is constantly being approached for emotional support is difficult - it can be exhausting. Make sure your friend has other people to reach out to.

Warnings

  • It is not always possible to amuse a person. Sometimes you just need to let your friend feel sad. Just make sure the friend understands that you care about him and is ready to help at any time.

Although you may not always fully understand your friend's feelings, you can be a support for him in such moments and try to reduce his pain at least a little.

Steps

Be near

    Listen to your friend. This is the most important thing you can do for the person who is feeling bad. Be an active listener. This will show that you care and listen to your friend. Very often it is much more important for a person to be listened to than to be helped in some other way.

    • When you listen to your friend, make sure that nothing distracts you. This means you don't have to talk to someone else or check to see if messages have arrived on your phone.
    • Maintain eye contact with your friend during the conversation. You don't need to gaze all the time, but by maintaining eye contact, you show that you are interested in your friend's well-being. It is also a good way to avoid distractions when you are listening.
    • Tell your friend that he can reach you at any time of the day or night and you will be ready to help. Today you will help a friend, and when trouble happens to you, he will help you. Being a friend means being available even when you're not comfortable.
  1. Ask questions your friend can't answer in monosyllables. Instead of talking about your feelings and experiences, ask your friend what he is going through at the moment. If your friend talks about divorce, for example, ask her how she is feeling at the moment and how you can help her.

    • Instead of asking, "Are you sad?" Ask a friend, "How are you feeling now?" and "What can I do to help you?"
  2. Spend time with a friend. When trouble occurs, many withdraw into themselves and do not want to make contact. However, communication can help you deal with negative feelings. Isolation from society can negatively affect mental and physical health. Think about the pleasant emotions you might have with your friend. Stay close and do something that brings pleasure to both of you, and this will certainly have a positive effect on your friend's mood.

    • Invite your friend to take a walk, go to the movies, or go to a cafe. Whichever activity you choose, it should be interesting for both of you.
  3. Take care of your friend's physical comfort. Touch has its own language, and it can explain to the person that you are near and that he is safe with you. But first, ask your friend if he wants to, because not all people are good at being touched.

    • Hugs are important for spiritual "healing". If your friend is upset, especially if he is emotionally depressed, hug him or touch his arm. This will show that you are with him and that he is safe.
    • If your friend doesn't like being hugged, you can give him a cat or dog in his arms. Pets help to calm down, and many people feel safe petting a pet.
  4. Learn to empathize, feel the pain of a person. Your friend should know that you empathize with him. Show him that you care about his pain and want to ease it.

    • For example, your friend Masha recently suffered a divorce. Of course, you can say, "Poor thing, I'm so sorry you broke up with your husband." But it will be better if you say: "Masha, I understand how you feel, and I know how you loved your husband."
  5. Make your friend's life easier. If a friend is going through a difficult time for him, then most likely it is difficult for him to do the usual things. Tell him that you are ready to help and take on some responsibilities to make his life easier.

    • For example, you can help him with cooking or cleaning the house. It is the cleaning that most often does not have the strength when you feel emotionally depressed.
    • Encourage a friend to go shopping or take him to a doctor's appointment.
    • Think about how you can help your friend, and perhaps your help will improve their mood.
    • Be sure to ask your friend how you can help him instead of deciding what he needs. Don't make assumptions.
  6. Present something to your friend. This will certainly cheer him up. This will show that you care about him. You cannot be with him all the time, but you can do something to reduce his suffering.

    • Bake a cookie he likes and mail it with a note mentioning that you love the person very much.
    • Choose a gift that will remind your friend of you and send it along with the card.
    • Choose something that makes your friend laugh: a funny postcard, an old photo of you fooling around together, or something similar. Choose what makes your friend smile.

    Distract a friend

    1. Take a walk together. A change of scenery can help a friend to take his mind off negative thoughts. Take a walk around your area, noticing something new, unusual, or interesting.

      • Move the conversation to another topic. Instead of spending hours discussing the problem, talk about the color of the sky or the strange smell you are smelling. Observe the animals and your surroundings.
    2. Organize a movie screening. Films and TV shows will distract a friend from his worries at least for a while.

      • Don't watch sad movies. If your friend's father died of cancer, avoid movies where cancer is mentioned or where one of the heroes' parents dies. If a girl leaves a friend, you shouldn't watch movies about relationships. Find an easy and interesting movie.
    3. Fool around. This is a great way to distract yourself from pain and make your friend smile. Laughter is the best medicine. Laughter improves physical health, so laugh to feel good.

      • Go back to childhood. Transform into angels by throwing white sheets over yourself. Try to talk with distorted voices. Or, instead of walking normally, try jumping.
      • Get creative, paint portraits of each other, or write funny poems.
    4. Do something new for you. Something new and unusual will distract a person. In addition, he will feel more happy. Your friend will think of something new to him and not focus on his problem.

      • Join the gym, do handicrafts or gardening together. You can also do painting.
      • Do not impose something new on a person without asking him first if he wants to do it. This may upset him even more, and you don't want it at all.
    5. Help someone along with a friend. Helping others can reduce stress, encourage more empathy, and increase resilience. A person who is going through hard times needs all of this.

      • Volunteer. Volunteering is a great way to do something for the good of the community, help someone, and get involved in something important. Do some charity work, help an animal shelter or organizations that feed the needy. Read to children or help in a nursing home.
      • Try the two of them to cheer up a mutual friend. Often, joint efforts give a positive result - a person calms down, because he sees what problems others have.
      • Do something nice for someone. You can cook a meal for another friend, or make a postcard with your own hands.
    6. Take a trip. This is a great way to distract your friend from their problem. Traveling involves new places and attractions that might interest your friend and distract him from misfortune.

      • You can go on a long journey: a tour of Europe or a hike along the John Muir Trail.
      • You can also choose a shorter trip: go to the beach for the weekend, go mountaineering in the mountains, or go on an excursion to a nearby town.

    Avoid common mistakes

    1. Let your friend be sad. There is no need to say such phrases: "You have to cheer up." This is perhaps the worst thing you can say to an upset person, especially if they are struggling with depression and anxiety at the same time. By saying this, you are telling the person to stop being sad. If you ask someone to stop being sad, it will reflect your feelings (you feel bad because your friend is bad), not the friend's feelings. You will actually say that your discomfort over his sadness is more important than his grief. If you are a true friend, you should not be doing this. Let your friend feel sad if they feel this way.

      • You don't need to tell a person what he should feel and what not; everyone has the right to feel and express emotions.
    2. Don't avoid socializing with your friend. You may not know what to say when you meet a friend who is in trouble. But this is not a reason to avoid a friend. Instead, think about what you can say to cheer up your friend. In most cases, it’s enough to simply say, “I’m sorry that this happened to you. How can I help you?"

    3. Focus on your friend's problem. Don't turn the conversation over to yourself. This mistake is often made by many people. It seems to you that you are talking to the person about his problem, but in reality you are talking about yourself.

      • When communicating with a friend, you should not tell stories from your life, emphasizing that you had a similar situation in life and you successfully coped with it.
      • For example, you shouldn't say: "I know how it feels when you are abandoned. Do you remember how Andrei left me in front of everyone? I felt so bad then, but I went through it. In recent months, I feel quite calm."
      • Better say this: "I know that you are in pain. It will surely get easier over time, but now it is not easy for you. I will be there if you need anything."
      1. Take care of yourself. If you take your friend's emotions and concerns too close to your heart, then most likely you are also experiencing stress. In this case, you need rest. You may be emotionally drained. Therefore, remember about the limits of your capabilities. Don't be too patronizing for your friend. There is a difference between being just support and taking care of the person close to you in everything.

        • If your friend calls you all the time and asks for help, learn to refuse if circumstances prevent you from helping him. You have many other important responsibilities. Say: "I know that you feel bad now and need support. I care about you and really want to help. But I want you to respect my time too, today I will not be able to meet with you. Let's postpone our meeting over the weekend." ...
        • Call the service that can help your friend.
        • If you think your friend is about to commit suicide, call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline.
      • You may not always be able to cheer up your friend. Sometimes you need to give a person the opportunity to feel sad. Most importantly, your friend needs to know that you are ready to support him when he needs it.
