Sometimes people get sad. That's fine. Sometimes you can't help them. If someone seems very sad, don't do that whole "uvu im her fur yuu bay beee, oo arr speshul and diffrunt" spiel. Because I have not met one person who that would help. If you've seen it work there are two options 1 The sad person did that mum thing where they pretend like you helped to make you feel good, 2 they weren't sad and were faking for attention. Chances are, if you do that, you don't know the person you're talking to. So here's some advice. Don't try and console a stranger. If they have no idea who you are, the shit you say doesn't matter. Don't say the same stuff you say about everyone or try and convince them they're special. Do be there for them. If you aren't prepared to stay and talk with them, don't say shit. Do tell them that you're there if they need to talk. Follow these simple steps, and maybe even YOU can act likje a normal person.
