Give you an ax? No, that's not it!! Your question is a hard one. It depends a lot upon the reason for being upset. One answer does not fit all in this case. Sometimes it is better to not say anything but just be there with the upset person.

when I'm upset the most comforting thing someone can do for me is to understand that I am upset and then give me a little time to just cool off.

When I am upset the best thing for others to do is just leave me alone, when I want to talk I will. But I have to have some time to process. After I have done that I can talk.

Give me some tissue and hold my hand. Don't tell me to stop crying or ask me what's wrong unless you want the water works. My sister and I just say "Oh, hunney" when either of us are upset and that literally moves mountains, even miles away over the telephone.

When Im upset I run to my boyfriend for comfort, something about his arms wrapped around me or his body cuddling with mine is so comforting and he is always so sympathetic and he always makes me feel better. I love talking to him about anything and everything, he is so easy to talk to and he actually listens to me and hears what I am saying. Seriously, when Im upset nothing anyone says or does makes me feel any better so I have to run to him cause he is the only one who knows how to help me feel better.

I need to be left alone when I'm upset. I will take it out on some one else and create a bigger problem than what was. Some time to sulk and breathe is what I need.

I'm very needy when I'm upset, and I like for someone to cuddle with me. I know that's kinda pathetic, but it's true. When I get upset I feel alone, and when I feel alone, I need someone to just hold me.

Hug me and let me cry on their shoulder. Hopefully it's a guy, because I find the way they smell comforting (not the stinky ones, but the ones who wear cologne or axe).

I appreciate when someone just hugs me and listens without giving their opinions or thoughts. Sometimes all I need is someone to be quiet.
