I like to help people, and I know many of you do, too. When we care, it’s natural to want to offer a positive way for them to look at what they are going through.
It’s Best To Listen
That said, I want to share one of the most important things I’ve learned when trying to help others feel better. Before you start sharing your positive spin on their situation, let them finish. Fully.
If you don’t, even if you mean well, it will send the message that you are not actually interested in how they are feeling. It tells them you are only interested in giving them your take.
The best practice is to listen. Let them speak. Let them finish. Only then, give your positive perspective. Sometimes, listening is the most positive part.
