Absolutely. Unless they hate hugs, but those people only make up 0.000001% of the population
I usually put myself in their pov and then I question myself how it made me feel then I use that said feeling to comfort them better
What you do usually is you let them know you're always open to talk or hang out as you shouldn't force them to be comforted (some people don't want to me comforted and that's okay!)
And ask them about their favourite thing or just do a simple talk, just having a random conversation really helps a lot
That's not what being selfish is
That person may have been upset and wasn't thinking clearly
You were willing to help them with everything you would and they didn't acknowledge that instead
So no you weren't selfish, you have empathy and can sympathise which is not selfishness
Yes, hugs help, even for those people who don't like physical touch much (me being one of them)
Definitely letting them know you're there to talk if they need it and sometimes just sitting next to them in silence helps too
When I try to i always ask,
•ARE,(you kay)
WHAT (happened
, WHY.(did they do that)
WHEN, (it happens)
I try to relate and calm them down.
Then I try to make them fell better after I comment 25 cases of robbery for stealing 1000 ice cream cones and throwing them at civilians cars and onto free way traffic
Probably a bit late to respond to this but I guess it's better to understand the person in question
Do they want to be comforted? If so, how do they want to be comforted? Before anything ask these first
People approach and react to their own problems differently, so you should always ask first whether they want to be comforted or not
And comfort comes in many forms, distance/space, advice, reassurance, listening, etc. So like I said it's better to ask first lol
It's normal to struggle to comfort of a person, if anything comforting another person isn't an obligation, whether close or not, sometimes you just can't comfort others and that's okay
