How to Comfort an Annoyed Friend

1st Advice
Offer eye contact, nod occasionally, and make brief comments when needed. Even if you want to say something, let your friend express himself or herself and get everything off his or her chest.


2nd Advice
Most of the time, your friend requires a large hug, an arm around the shoulder, or a nice pat on the back. Actions speak louder than words and are far easier to master. So just keep quiet and cuddle them.


3rd Advice
You should not step in and advise your friend on the five best options of action unless your friend asks, "What do you think I should do?" It will come out as condescending, as if you believe your friend's problems can be simply fixed if they weren't such idiots. Give it time unless your friend looks up at you with doe eyes and says, "I don't know what to do..."
