Connecting emotionally with other people can be difficult and not everyone can do it. It's all about listening, asking questions and being supportive. Try and think how you would feel in that person's shoes and how you would like to be responded to. Often, just showing support and having a shoulder to cry on is the best thing for someone that is hurting. For you to show emotions to others, start small with family and friends. If something is said you don't like, then tell them. Start small and practice.





With your friend, I am sorry to hear about his mum. Losing a loved one is the worst pain possible. There really isn't much you can say. As a close friend, he won't want to here, I'm sorry or I'm here. He will hear that from everyone else and I am sure he knows you are there for him. Listen to him, you don't necessarily have to say anything. Give him a hug and maybe remind him of how much his mum will always love him.


Are you going to the funeral with him? If not, maybe offer to go with him. Let him know it's ok to cry and show how much he hurts. All you can do is listen and be equipped with a box of Kleenex. You'll be surprised how a simple gesture like a box of Kleenex is helpful.

try to relate his problems with something you've gone through, or something real, like yo im here for you or something
sometimes it helps to just listen
