Try and try and try.

Okay, the truth is, when you're upset, most people don't want to be left alone. Even if someone sucks at comforting, it's much better to see a friend than to see them ignoring you. Right?

So the thing is, most of the time, someone upset doesn't even care what you say, they just care that you're there. When they're upset, just listen. Don't change the subject, because that is what makes it the worse. They either feel ignored or they bottle up their sadness and let it grow grow grow.

All you have to do is listen to them. yup. Hear what they are saying. yup. If you have something honest to say to them that will make them feel better, of course say it, but comforting someone is as easy as making contact like giving them a hug or something? and telling them nothing but reassuring things like "it'll be okay" or "there's no need to be sad"

Some people are just naturally bad at advice or saying comforting things. That's okay. You have the intention of being comforting and that's what a person needs. Just let them know you're there, just be there with them. You don't even need to say anything.
