Second, if your friends have problems, do not give advice. Ask questions instead, such as What do yo want? How do you feel about it? What are you afraid might happen? They will be able to find answers to any problems themselves, with your support. They

“你需要什么？你对此感觉怎样？你担心会出什么事情？”在你的支持帮助下，无论什么问题他们自己都会找到解决的办法的。他们需要的只是鼓励和信任，相信他们在尽力而为。
