How to make my best friend feel better?

Question

My best friend had been treating me badly lately. As a result I confronted her but got an unexpected result. She seemed both remorseful and hurt. She was deeply saddened, saying she does not understand why I deal with her. That caught me off guard and now I want to cheer her up. I told her she is a great friend but she seems really sad. Whats the best way to make her feel better? (Please don't suggest anything like a girls night out or something. I'm a guy.)

Answer 1

i think you should talk to her about it, and ask her why she feels like that, and always reassure her that she's a great friend. and other than that, i really dont know how else to make her feel better. (and buying her flowers probablly wouldnt solve anything) but i do agree, give her a hug.

Answer 2

hmm. thats odd behavior.

i wonder if she might like you.

but she probably just has low self esteem.

tell her things like shes usually a great friend and you will always love her no matter what. if she acts sad still just act like you really arent upset with her. joke with her and mess around, tease her. just act like everything is normal and that nothing has changed.

Answer 3

I was in the same position as you two days ago. My very close friend was treating everyone around her badly. I was shocked since it was rare for her to look so broken. First, I had no idea what to do, but I told her that I really cared about her and that whatever was wrong shouldn't upset her that much. She ignored my calls for awhile but after hours of talking to her, I found out she was only sad about always hurting the people around her.

I'm sure all your friend needs right now is a someone to remind her they will always be beside her.

Answer 4

Get her flowers, and tell her you love her as a friend, and you'll always be there for her and you hope the same in return

Answer 5

give her some daffodils and a hug.

let her know that you'll always be there for her and if she ever needs anything all she has to do is ask.

Well i think  something else is there so find out what it is and just be an ear to listen to her issues . Be open minded to what shes says . Her self esteem is low and it really isnt your fault but you can make her feel better by talking to her and trying to show her you love her and are there for her . I suggest humor my best friend (who is a guy) says the stupidest things when i am sad and i feel better !  Just text her something random like hey you busy ,, how bout you me and a family guy marathon . I do have a feeling somethings up ,, so try to find out what it is !
