  1. Be honest about how you feel: “I’ve been feeling low lately, and I wanted to talk about it.”

  2. Ask, don’t assume: “How are you really doing?” goes a long way.

  3. Share resources: Recommend apps, therapy platforms, or calming techniques.

  4. Use supportive language: Avoid “crazy,” “psycho,” or “attention-seeking.”

🤝 What You Can Say Instead:

  • “I hear you. That sounds hard.”

  • “You’re not alone.”

  • “Thank you for trusting me.”
