How to Comfort a Friend

1. Try to Talk to Your Friend and Ask the Reason:-

In order to comfort a friend, you may begin the first with trying to talk with him and asking him the reason while trying to console him or her in a friendly manner. Your voice should have a low pitch and besides this it should have a comforting tone. Do not try to force friend even if he or she does not wants to tell you the reason.

2. When No Answer is received:-

In case no answer is received, try to make him or her swear by your name that he or she would have to tell what has happened to him or her if you are taken as a friend. Try to use an emotional approach while doing this and try to use every sort of emotional word that you can use with your friend. (How to Comfort a Friend)

You should adopt a friendly as well as slow and mature kind of tone while trying to deal with a friend in order to comfort him or her as if else you try to show anger or frustration, they would cry even louder and instead of getting comforted, their pain would get even more increased.

5. When Tears Do Not Stop:-

This generally happens in the case of females that they do not tell you anything till last and just keep on sobbing tears as if you would yourself have to get an idea about all what has happened and they won’t tell you anything at any cost. In that case you should speak nothing and just hug that female trying to comfort her and that too while using the consoling words. The best thing about a hug is that one size fits all let it be a male or female and just a single dose is enough for all the tears to be wiped out. (How to Comfort a Friend)
