    what do you say to your friends to cheer them up?

    i am rarely in a bad mood, but after getting stood up last night you could say i am not on the top of my morning. what do you say to someone to make them smile/laugh?

    Helping ya out just look at some of the stuff that has gone on with me over the last couple of months.

    Looking at someone elses problems usually puts my own in perspective and helps me think 'Hey I'm doing pretty good in comparison'

    Hope that helps, otherwise just start thinking about the good things that are happening, if nothing is happening make something happen. Usually helps me anyways...

    one of my best friend is in a wheel chair, and he's usually very cheerful. if he can't find something nice to say, he'll say "at least you can walk."

    but the thing is, unfortunately, there's nothing that we can say that'll really "cheer" you up. you made a decision to feel disappointed, so technically, you have to make a decision to NOT feel disappointed.

    otherwise, the last thing is to send you a pic of me naked, it always seems to make my gf laugh...oh wait...

    quoth RoniMan:

    There really isn't anything you can say to someone to cheer them up; the best you can do is show your support, and maybe make 'em laugh.

    Having kids really proved this to me. You can give all the reasons in the world why they should cheer up and they will give you their reasons for being sad. And now you're no further along than when you started.

    Ultimately, it's the individual's decision to be happy or not.

    Depending on the friend:

    Hey man, its not that small.

    It was cold right?

    It happens to every guy once in a while.

    Dude, even ugly guys get a girl once in a while.

    Maybe she didnt notice that you were done in 2 secs. You kept going right?

    You will find a good guy some day....heck you found me, there are some others out there.

    In my opinion humor is the best antidote for any bad mood. Although I have been hit in the arm pretty hard for some of my more of color statements. It all depends on the moment...if they are seriously upset I dont use humor and just listen to them vent and use me for a sounding board. Then I offer suggestions.
    Welcome my son, welcome to the machine...Where have you been? It's alright we know where you've been....
