When my friends are feelin down, what I do is (in addition to being extra nice) talk about normal things, things that they care about or talk about when they're feeling good. Smile a lot, too. It's amazing how much smiling can change a person's mood.
What you do not want to do is be overly and extremely upbeat and happy, because that will make them resent you or everyone around them. You should be cheerful, but still mellow. |
