What method do you use to cheer someone up who is feeling down? Does it usually work for you?

share your stories.

I just try to make the smile, like say there friend pissed them off i'd say like "screw em, there @$$holes, u love em but still @$$holes" than she or he would laugh or i'd just go with the flow of what they say and i say ya omg i know and there like im serious im like omg ya me 2 they would laugh and tell me to shut up lol

but sometimes i just get sick and tired of ppl always being down that i dont really do as much as before. All depends on the situation

I seem to have this knack of cheering people up without even trying. Several a person would be like "Oh you cheered me up!" and I'd give them a look like what are you on about?

Just being myself seems to work I guess ...

LOOOL:XD:

i'll do anything! :XD: BUT....only for selected people:rolleyes:

With my sisters all i have to do is dance funny until they laugh :p but thats only when they're down over something small. If its serious id talk them through it and just make sure i get them out of the house.
With friends it differs, but just being there makes a difference, how i would cheer them up depends on the problem really. A good walk cures a lot for some of em.

i would bring them some Choco...lol

i'd turn the sad situation into a funny one. am good at that. and i'll open a bottle of wine and give my friend a glass.

If I told you, I'd have to kill you. :hyper:

I really don't know how to cheer up people. I feel awkward about it, but sometimes I do try, even though I feel I am making a fool of myself and God knows if it is works or not. So yeah, in some instances, I think just leaving them alone works wonders. Or Perhaps I just do that because it is convenient for me...

Maybe I will say something silly to make them smile/laugh.

I have a close childhood friend whose husband is making an ***** of himself so am trying to get her to find avenues that mirror her interests since he seems to busy with himself these days.

The key to making someone feel better is to make them feel good about themselves, their choices and the situation they find themselves in. Sometimes it's hard to find positive things in some situations.. but one can find maybe ways to make that situation better, support them and encourage them to make the necessary changes or take the steps to make that situation better.

Most of the time, people just want someone to listen to them. Venting is a great way to let off steam and calm down. So even just by listening and being there.. you are already being a great comfort to your friend.

can anyone tell me why chocolate does the trick for women??:think: why does it make us feel better?

Eat some chocolate and watch some really really good movies...pig out, vent....have a girl's night out.

LOL I posted my remedy of chocolate before seeing yours. Women tend to think alike when it comes to that utterly delicious stuff! :p

lol YEAH! :p

make silly jokes
tell the person how he should cheer up,,,tell him why he should cheer up
tell him the good things in whatever hes mad at
and then try to fix whatever the problem is if there is a problem
just be positive about everything and try my best to make them smile and laugh ..even if its by making myself look stupid :p and being too silly

I don't know how to make people feel better and I hate being in that situation.

I don't really know how to comfort others when they're feeling depressed. I wouldn't be a pain in the As$ and act like Dr Phil you know, advise them and sh!t. I'll just give them some time alone to think things over I guess lol

Talk to them and see if there's anyway i could help. Or i'll sing them a song and try to make them laugh so that they could forget about it.

I usually act really silly and click my fingers and say happy thoughts happy thoughts, it never works on me cause when I'm down i love to be by myself.

im the hyper typ'f gurl....
well ppl luv me coz im always funny n know how to make their days...
probably when my frnds....or ppl i know feel down i'd talk like i always do then i stop to find them laughin :p it's my style.....lol i sometimes laugh at myself!!
so i gues my atitude help to cheer people up:D

I'd act like Dr Phil but by my own way.

If I told u I wud have to kill you :)

I'd make them laugh by saying a joke if it's a guy friend then i'll talk to him and tell him that his a good person and everyone loves him lol they like to be told that :p

But most of the time i just act funny

I wouldn't feel sorry for them, instead I be like it's not you-ish to cry! And I'l remind them of a moment that has happened, that would crack them up. Well, it works with my classmates all the time. They smile!

You people love wine too much :rolleyes:


I think it depends on the situation, I mean what is upseeting my friends. I usually can make them laugh and smile then forget about it.
