My Silence Was the Best Support for My Friend 😶

Ever tried to lift a friend’s spirits and somehow made it worse? Yeah, me too. When my buddy Jake’s relationship crashed and burned, I thought my endless advice would save the day. Spoiler: it didn’t. He just looked at me like I was speaking Martian. So, I did the unthinkable—I shut up. We sat in his messy living room, watched old comedies, and demolished a family-sized bag of chips. No pep talks, no solutions, just being there. Turns out, sometimes your friend doesn’t need a fixer—they just need a partner in misery. Next time your friend’s world is upside down, skip the speeches and just hang out. It’s awkward, it’s real, and honestly, it works. 🍿🎮 #Friendship #Support #JustBeThere
