Is it better to just let her cry sometimes?

[Telekinetic-Potato]

A friend of mine is going through a hard time, and to be honest so was I. And she's kinda cueing me in to give her advice and I was at a point where as good as I know her and everyone involved in her problem, all I could say was that I wish I had something helpful to say.

Especially cuz I'm pissed off, I can't thoughtfully put myself in your shoes right now. 😂

Anyway when's the last time you didn't know what to say?

I think it really depends on circumstances, the context... and also what kind of person they are... (and you as well)

it can also be about timing... you said you're pissed off so, maybe right now... is not the best time, lol

YES LET HER CRY YOU A RIVER!

Yes, just be there for her. You don't have to say much. Listen, say you're there for her and let her cry. Give her a hug. I've seen some ups and downs in life. Went through the toughest period, I know that he couldn't really do anything to fix my problems. Some things are beyond our control. As I was expressing how I felt, I felt so helpless and lost. Poor guy didn't know what to say, but he tried so hard to come up with words that could give me strength and comfort. What really helped me was crying and him saying "It's okay. Everything will be fine. I'm here for you" It gave me some strength.

There are a lot of circumstances where you can't contribute anything.
