how to cheer someone up?
on my end, it is easy for people to cheer me up when i am feeling down. but when i am on the other end, i really do not know what to say due to the moment and atmosphere.
well, my cousin has been feeling really down since his gf broke up with him for a bit. but now that he is older (20 yrs), he is taking this differently since high school. instead of being depressed, he is being being very angry at the little things that happen in his other relationships with family and friends.
my question is here, how can i approach this? i just played CoD4 (call of duty 4) and beat him and now he is very pissed that he lost (hes been playing a lot longer than i have). hes also bringing in some other issues such as me not paying for my ps3 and him buying his own.
what i did in the past with people is just give them some time to cool off and talk to them after a good amount of time has passed which works some of the times. any advice on approaching this?
it would also be great if any other advice was given. because as i said earlier in the post, i am horrible at cheering people up hehe. so it would really benefit my self help too.
thanks
