Do not pressure someone into anything...
- Guilt trips are never cool, no matter how small the issue is.
Do not criticize a person's food/drink choices.
- "Are you really going to eat that?" "Are you sure you want another drink?" Yes, now that person is going to order two because of the stupid comment.
Give that person the space that is necessary.
- The only thing worst than someone who doesn't give enough attention is someone who gives too much attention. Sometimes, a person just wants to read a book or watch a trashy TV show. Respect that decision, give the necessary alone time, it will allow that person to have the much needed rest.
Listen, Just listen.
- Everybody can be a problem solvers, when hear about an issues, it is natural to come up with a suggestion or solution. When a person vents to you, that's not what he/she is looking for. He/she wants just a simply listener or at least someone who make an attempt to understand. He/she does not want to be given an answer but the support he/she needed to figure it out on her own.
Fear is self-impose, meaning it doesn't exist. I create it, I can destroy it too. It's an intangible.
