Here is a general, heuristic list that I go through when comforting someone, whether in person or via text:
- Calm the person down so they can think straight.
- Listen to what they have to say about the situation.
- Empathize with the person.
- Get the person to see the bright side of the situation, slowly, yet surely.
People also ask, how do you cheer up a friend over text?
Tell him a funny joke, send him a compliment or just him know you are there for him. How do I make someone feel better via text if they are avoiding me? The best thing to do us just let them know you're there for them and just give them time.
