How do you comfort someone?
I'm actually someone who doesn't want to care with other people's affairs or problems but because of my conscience, I always end up having to comfort other people. Sometimes it's not even intentional, they just come at me for advice and even cry infront of me. I'm gonna be insensitive about this but on moments like that, I just want to leave and sleep or something. But it's not like I can just do that when someone is hurting. But the thing is, I don't really know what to do. I should listen to them if they have something they wanted to share but what should be my responds be if they full on message me on messenger? If it was in person, I'd hug them to comfort but if it were virtually, how?
Basically, you listen.
Get them to share what’s on their mind, don’t make it about you (the “oh yeah, I had that even worse” moments suck).
Clarify, reword things to be sure you understand.
Acknowledge their feelings.
Don’t tell them what to do, even if they ask. You are not the problem fixer and “you should/ you need to/ you must�...... reply
