Your boyfriend is depressed again and you, being his girlfriend, want to help him. Here are some easy steps to cheer him up.
Steps
Step 1. Talk to him using simple words and gestures
Just say "What the hell is wrong with you (insert your boyfriend's name here)?" it will serve to shake up the situation! Be simplistic. Try "Hey, it looks like you had a bad day …"
Step 2. After you have concluded that something is wrong, you will need to ask him what it is
.. so you will have to kindly tell him "Let's talk". Talk to your boyfriend.
Step 3. Ask him if you can help him in any way
Can you support him by going to his grandmother's funeral with him? Prepare some cookies? Help him study? Try everything to cheer him up.
Step 4. Be honest
If you have no solution to his problem, maybe it's best to let him fix it himself.
Step 5. If you have a solution but doesn't listen to you, give it space to accept your help
He may not want to be bothered by you if he doesn't want a solution or doesn't want one from you.
Advice
- Don't emphasize how important it is to communicate if she doesn't want your help. Just tell him to let you know if he wants to talk about it and that you are there for him.
- If your boyfriend starts crying, don't laugh or make rude remarks. He obviously feels comfortable crying in your presence. If he starts to cry, get close to him and hug him. If you have a good relationship, you can lie down on the bed or sofa. Your presence will help him a lot.
- Give him time and if he doesn't want to talk about it, leave him alone and find small ideas to cheer him up little by little.
- Smile, be kind and generous. He will appreciate what you are doing.
