Don’t take emotions lightly: When someone is feeling low, don’t say, ‘You should avoid this’ or ‘It’s no big deal.’ Avoid speaking such sentences. This may make them feel that their problems do not matter. This can make them feel even more lonely.
Do not give unsolicited advice: Unless the person directly asks for your help, avoid giving them your advice. Many times people want someone to listen to them, not to tell them solutions to their problems. Giving unsolicited advice may make them feel that you are unable to understand their problem.
Don’t ignore emotions: Don’t let anyone tell you to ‘stay positive’ or ‘your situation is not that bad.’ To say so may be to deny their struggles. This may make them even more disappointed. In such a situation, we should understand that the problems of every person may be different. It is important to make them feel that you understand and respect their emotions.
Avoid blaming: Avoid criticizing or blaming. Avoid saying sentences like ‘You always do this’ or ‘Why did you make this mistake?’ This may further reduce their confidence.
Avoid humor that hurts: While joking, do not say anything that might hurt them. A joke made at the wrong time can upset them further.
