♥♥♥ You love her like a sister, right? Good answer. If you love her, in the most sensitive way you can, say, "Ya know, I love ya like a sister. You need to know that (insert her name here). If you want me to, I'll talk to you now. If you don't, I'll leave. Just tell me what you want, and your wish is my command!!!!" (if she says anything besides leave, say this:) "Well! Okay then sis! I'll do that for ya on one condition - SMILE! Smile like you've never smiled before!" (keep urging her to make a bigger smile, and only stop until a couple seconds after she looks like she knows she looks like the silliest thing in the world, so you guys start cracking up) If you love her, you'll help her. Change the above convo to fit your relationship with her ;) Oh yeah, whatever you do, do NOT bring up past memories, it might make her think about what made her depressed. And you do NOT want that, iight? ♥♥♥ Oh yeah. If she asks you to leave, give her a nice, long, tight (but not bear hug tight, only give her a bear hug if she starts smiling and/or laughing) hug. If she backs off during the middle of the hug, keep hugging her but a little bit gentler... I love hugs. You love hugs. Your friend loves hugs. Hugs rock. |
