How do you cheer up a friend? (1 Viewer)

[brekker]

I am at loss at how to cheer up my friend, my colleague who has to deal with a lot of stuff at work. I don´t want to get into a lot of details because that would be more for PMs (hit me up to listen to my cryings, I just don´t know whether I have the right to annoy anyone since we are all dealing with our problems). The thing is she is dealing with a lot of stuff for us, for others.

I don´t know what to do. I think my feelings have been numbed in those recent times and I don´t have any ideas. I feel hopeless and anxious and I don´t feel like I have the right to feel so because she is the one who is carrying everything on her shoulders, she and the boss who I actually feel equally sorry for but we are not that close to actually discuss things. (You see I grew up with the mentality that we are NOT equal and your boss is not your friend, boom).

So, any ideas? I don´t think she likes kpop though :D.

Offer a distraction, like take them out for a dinner or see a movie or something like that. Get them a gift to say you appreciate them and everything is gonna be okay.

not the best at cheering ppl up but i usually cheer them up by giving them words of encouragement or treating them to food

Even if your friend needs someone to stay with them, and you're okay with it, maybe spend a few hours with them or the night?

words of encouragement, that is what I suck at. the whole "it is gonna be okay!" always sounds like a lie coming from my mouth :D. but the food idea is good! thank you. I am buying breakfast tomorrow so I might try to make it special

she is with other friends atm. it is more like, I don´t know how to help her in her situation and I feel like should I just run into the meeting and cause some more chaos so that she could escape or something ? :D

Maybe try to support her after the meeting if you can't go there yourself?

LOL i suck at giving words of encouragement too ngl, especially if it's with people i barely know because the list of encouragement words i can say just gets shorter

good luck with the breakfast treat! i hope all goes well for you
