What are some of the ways that you cheer up friends when.........??

Question

they are down and can use a smile??

It's not me, I have a friend that's down and just thought I'd get a variety of ways to think about!!

Answer 1

Just let them know you are there. Some people need a laugh when they are down. Some people want ideas for solutions. Some just want to know you care and are interested. Like I crack jokes about 80% of the time I'm around people. But, I adjust how I react to what I feel my friends need.
Whether it's a joke, a shoulder or an ear to listen.
(THANKS!)

Answer 2

Be there for her. Be a good listener. If you have the means take her out to see a funny movie and to her favorite place for lunch. I love going to the movies when I feel down. I escape into the screen. When I am in that dark theater I just let myself drift into the movie. I would also suggest buying her a gift. Something inspirational. Maybe something has a special inspirational meaning to you. Whether it be a self help book that you have read, or CD that is upbeat and happy. Just a few ideas for you. Good luck cheering her up. You are a good friend!

Answer 3

You may not tell this from some of my answers but I have a very off the wall sense of humor, even when I`m trying to be caring and sesitive it comes out in na way that gets people laughing. I find even watching films or tv programmes I tune in to things that I think are funny that no one else sees, I can`t help it and I often don`t realise I`m doing it which can be annoying at times. It does mean though that when friends are feeling down they usually come to see me which can be frustrating to.

start with a hug. it helps to let them noe ur there. then ask if they wanna talk about it. if they say yes, listen well and help out whenever you can. if they say no, just wait there and they will soon just talk to you. if neither happens, just sit with them for a while...in silence. they'll somehow get their emotions out and it helps not to push them. don't get distracted. like if a friend comes over to you and says something really happily, try to quiet them down, and you stay in a calm mood. its probably best not to have anyone else come sit with the two of you so that the person doesn't feel pressured to tell the whole crowd wat's wrong.

Answer 5

First of all I let them have a good moan about what has made them feel down, then I try to think of something nice to tell them and if possible relate something amusing that has happened or tell them a joke (if I can remember one)If I don't manage to cheer them up I feel sad.

Answer 6

I've made a pan of lasagna and homemade garlic bread along with dessert (brownies) and delivered it to their house for dinner;) Friends need this every now and then.....that happen to be her favorite foods. Hope whatever it is you are unhappy about, someone is there to give you a pick me up:)

Answer 7

Answer 8

junk food and movies night!
chocolate always works too
or a night out to eat or something
also if ur a teen like me i love getting little notes from the best friend haha

Answer 9

right this is an uncomplicated yet lovable one. Use ur index finger and touch his shoulder, do no longer flow it. whilst he ask why, purely say "no longer something" and make lovable face (with face such as you, it could incredibly make him soften). Ask "How are you at the instant?" Then each little thing will bypass...

Answer 10

joke, espeially inside jokes.
hugs
look at funny pics of u guys
smile or laugh randomly (they're contagious!!)
make a fool of urself, when its just u two. sing a stupid song, dance like no ones watching

good luck! & i hope this helps!
