Part 2:How to comfort someone who's not feeling well

Tip 1:做一个好的倾听者
    Tell me how you're feeling maybe I can help you.
    I'm all ears.
    Do you just need to vent?I'm all ears.

Tip 2:安慰式
    Don't worry,everything is going to be OK.

Tip 3:转移注意力
    Would you like to hear some gossip?

Tip 4:给予实际的关怀
    Can I make you a cup of tea?
    I'm bringing dinner Thursday.Do you want lasagna or chicken?

Tip 5:直接表达关系
    I care about you.You're not alone.

不能说的话：
There's always someone worse off than you are.
Stop feeling sorry for yourself.
No one ever said that life was fair.
It's your own fault.

应该说的话:
You're not alone.
I'll always be there for you.
You're going to make it throught.
Everyone makes mistakes.What we can do is learn from our mistakes.
