Do people really want advices ?
I thought about this and I have another story :
A Slovakian friend came home two months ago (was near where I live and asked to stay ...) So one day she recieves a call from her parents, and all I know is that I see her with tears.
I didn't do anything (maybe limiting belief that I don't know what to say to make people feels better will go trhough it tonight), but my mother and my sister were like what happened ? why do you cry ?
Turns out her parents asked her to return to slovakia faster than you could spell it... So my mother and my sister were like, oh that's all right, they're just afraid for you, that's normal for parents ... and all the regular things.
The point I want to get is, was she really looking for people to cheer her up ? Wouldn't it be better for her to go through it alone ? Does that make me a wussie for doing nothing
?
From your experiences, what's the best way to cheer someone up when they're sad ? :
Just listening to them, or talking, giving advices ... or leave them alone (which we couldn't do we weren't at home
?
Thanks
