If a friend tells you she's really down and sad and that her selfesteem is incredibly low (though she may use other words; but that's what she's expressing) what do you tell her? This is over the phone that is, if she calls you up. I mean one could always hugh the person if she was around, but in this case she isn't. So what do you do; what do you tell her to cheer her up? Is there anything that can be told? thanks in advance. |

Since she is a friend of you, I bet you know that much better than the rest of us. |

just being there i guess even on the phone maybe. let silences be or just talk about what you've been doing today. saying that she's cool and life is fun will not help much, so.. |

Tell her to meet you in person obviously. The phone is an impossible thing to effectively communicate with a friend over. |

what I mean is... she's far away and it's night. So we can't meet now... I had to deal with it over the phone. I am not the reason she's down - that'd make the whole mess a lot easier. It's about other people and quite a lot about her low self esteem. |

The tell her to meet you tomorrow or as soon as possible (if she is a good friend). Other than that, just listen to her and don't offer an opinion on anything. |

ok, she might be in town (where I live) tomorrow, so if she is, I'll be sure to meet her. thanks for the advices, people. I guess nothing beats meeting physically. |
