How do you cheer up a sad friend?

Well i normally go to her place give her something like chocolates and console her to not worry too much. i usually lend my shoulder for her to cry on.. i just listen to what she'll say and afterwards hug her and tell her everything will be alright.. a hug really cures a lot of pain.. and by just being there really helps a lot..

Normally, i take him to a club with a lot of beautiful women. With a girl, i talk to her and say nonsense and most of the time it works. Sometimes, when she's sad i just pretend to listen and i notice that she starts to feel better. Come to think of it, Girls are really complicated.

sometime just act stuipd like me, but just being there for them matters most. my one friend i lost touch with 20 yrs ago, and we just found each other again last year. she was going through some depression, and her sister couldnt get in touch with her, when i went and checked on her. her b/f wasnt happy i show up but i told him, look i am like this, if one of my friends i think needs to be check up or something might be wrong i do this, i will check on her, sorry if you dont like it, but oh well. so sometime going to your friend and listening or just give them a hug, and yes i do that with my guy friends too

In my experiences with this situation, I have found that usually just getting in touch with them helps. They know they are not alone and because you are friends, they know they can lean on you for comfort and that they can also talk to you about anything. I also try to find something amusing that has happened in my life to pass onto them. That will usually make them smile and give them something else to think about.

Give her/him a jokes... I think it's the best way!

For us to cheer up a friend it would depend on what kind personality does our friend has. Like for me I have a friend who really love to eat ice cream and she is really craving for the taste of that ice cream. When she was upset of her dad, I would like to share with her the ice cream. But of course she dont want to share it with me. Then, I'll told her that its 2 gives (meaning she will pay me for 2 installments) or I'll give it to you for free if you share it with me. Since she dont want to pay, then she will share it with me. So while we are talking about the problems and downs of her life. We are eating her favorite ice cream and that makes her comfortable and she will cheer up. I also had a friend who has always have problem, from family, relative, boyfriend and business. All I could do for her is to be with her, not really physically. But if she wants someone to talk to I am always there. I am not a friend who tolerate her attitude and she likes it. Everytime she feels like crying, I keep on telling her its ok to cry but after that no more cry. Every time she blame how unfortunate she is, I always remind her that is not being unfortunate but its an obstacle we need to solve. She is ok with that one.

Being funny, telling them it will be all right, listening...

I cheer people friends, or family up with encouraging words that come natural to me, and with humor of course because I'm a big goof ball at heart, and I like to lighten things up or cheer someone up with my natural senses. Basically I cheer people up just by being myself I dont use any particular method too cheer someone up. so I would recommend just being yourself and giving that loved one a good ear, and some honest advice if they will be open to it and just lighten things up as much as posible.

I have a few friends actually. And, while I can't take their pain away I can be the best friend I can be and listen. Allowing someone to get what is bothering them off their chest is a good way to start the healing process. Just as my friends do that for me, I like to know I can do the same in return.

To cheer up a sad friend is really difficult for me to do, what I can think of best way to somehow make her feel that I am on her side is to listen to her and let her weep until her tears runs dry.I give her all the time to talk and cry, I won't say a word unless she asks me to speak. You cannot actually take away from them the sadness that wraps them, what we can only do is to comfort them.

Go out with him, have some fun together. Go play PS games with him like tekken or something. Do something together is the key to cheer him up.

There is a very popular line, If you share your happiness it increases and if you share your sadness it decreases. So my first target will be to know the reason why my friend is sad. If he/she can express her sadness then he/she will feel better. Then we can try to find out some solutions to get out from his/her problem.

when my friends are sad i talk to them and try to resolve their problem if i can...i will boost their confidence and i'll ask him to face the problem and not to avoid it or get upset for it...

Be available for your friend at all times. It's very important to let them know you are there for them. Make sure they are aware of the fact that can get a hold of you at any time, night or day. Have patience. Sometimes it takes people awhile o get out of their sad moods.Everyone is different. Learn to understand and throw out impatience. Send him/her a card to brighten their day. Getting positive pieces of mail is always a nice thing. It will at least make them smile. Offer hugs. Sometimes a person just needs you to be there and a hug is the most generous of offers.

first of all i need to ask some question to my friends why they feel sad? and for me i will entertain them to become happy. and of course i'll give some advise to prevent a feel sad moment. i will cheer up my friends even he/she corny and i will appriciate to why feel sad. enjoy your moment with your friends and this is the ways to cheer up them. always take care everyone and be happy.

hello everyone, For me a great friend is someone who is always there for you no matter what happens. In good times and even in bad times. I knew so many people but it's hard to find that great and true friend. But you know what? I have a friend that is really good. And that is JESUS! He will never let you down.He will always be there for you..!
