After a breakup, life can seem miserable, but a good friend brings light and joy into a broken heart. Be the light in your friend’s life.
分手后,生活看起來很痛苦,但是好友會給受傷的心新帶來光明和歡樂。點亮你朋友的生活吧。
Step 1: Hug them
Hug your friend, rub their back, and touch their arm. Comfort them with small physical gestures that let them know you care and calm them.
第一步:擁抱他們
擁抱你的朋友,撫摩朋友的背,碰碰他們的胳膊。用身體上的動作來寬慰他們,讓他們知道你很在意他們,要讓他們平靜下來。
Step 2: Get them to vent
Help them let out all their feelings about the breakup by continuously asking them “what else?” Venting their feelings out loud will make the comforting process easier.
第二步:讓他們發泄
幫助他們將分手后的感覺一股腦都說出來,你要不斷地問:“還有別的嗎?”讓他們將感覺大聲地發泄出來會使安慰過程更容易。
Tip:Let them talk, but don’t nag them if they don’t feel like expressing their feelings at that moment.
小貼士:讓他們說話,但是如果他們此刻不想說,也不要勉強。
Step 3: Compliment
Compliment your friend. After the breakup, their self-esteem may be lower. Let them know they are funny, smart, and beautiful.
第三步:贊美
贊美你的朋友。分手后,他們的自尊也許會比平時低。要讓朋友知道:他們是風趣的人,很聰明也很漂亮。
Step 4: Give them hope
Give your friend hope that things will eventually get better. Their heart will heal and life will go on.
第四步:給他們希望
要給朋友們希望:事情最終會好起來的。傷心會痊愈,生活將繼續。
Step 5: Keep them busy
Keep your friend busy. Take them to the movies, go shopping, or go out to dinner. Do all the fun activities you normally would in order to take their mind off of the breakup.
第五步:要讓朋友忙起來。
要讓朋友忙起來。帶他們去看電影,去購物或是出去吃飯。做那些你們平日做的有意思的事,以便使他們不去想分手的事。
Step 6: Give it time
Give your friend time to get over the breakup. You want them to be happy again, but you have to understand that even with you comforting them, it’s going to take time for them to move on.
第六步:要給朋友們時間
給朋友們時間從分手中恢復的時間。你想讓朋友們再次高興地生活,但是你必須明白即使你安慰他們,他們從傷痛中恢復過來也是需要時間的。
