"I still can't believe it … she left me!" Right now, are you listening to your best friend crying over her ex? Do you need to find a way to cheer her up? Don't worry, this article will help you.
Steps
Step 1. Let her cry for as long as she wants
Crying will do her good, sometimes when such a thing happens the best thing to do is cry and feel sad. Crying is healthy. Hug her, rub her back, show her your interest in feelings and be there for her. Sometimes all a friend needs is a shoulder to cry on.
Step 2. Let her speak
When she stops crying, let her let her out in words. Ask her questions, and don't allow her to shed more tears.
Step 3. Cheer them up
Take her out, to dance, to eat ice cream, or anywhere that makes her happy and help her forget what happened. Play her an extremely funny song, music is a very beneficial weapon.
Step 4. Don't allow her to torture herself
It will be natural for her to blame herself, and feel like a loser, but that doesn't mean you should let her go. Remind her that her ex is the loser, and that she is the best thing that ever happened to him. Don't allow her to argue.
Step 5. Help her move on
Push her to go out with other people but, if she still doesn't feel like looking for a new partner, organize some evenings with friends.
Step 6. Talk to her about other guys, distracting her mind from the ex
You will probably hear her say "oh, (name) always did", so remind her that she is better off without him. Make a commitment to keep her active and happy.
Advice
- Take her out to a place where she can feel good, for dinner, shopping, a spa, etc.
- Be cautious when talking about him, it is possible that one day they may get back together.
- When she's not crying, make her laugh! Laughter is the best medicine. If you are sure their relationship is over and if you think it can make her smile, make fun of her ex!
- Show her how many things she can do now that she's single. Like flirting with other guys, and dancing with whomever you want.
Warnings
- Don't scold her and don't make her feel worse.
- When you take her out, make sure the chosen location doesn't remind her too much of her ex.
- Don't talk too much about their entire relationship or she may start crying again.
