Jeff has a friend who is venting to him about a situation with one of his teachers. Jeff is going to try to validate his friend,
so he should do all of the following EXCEPT: A.
Try to understand how his friend is feeling.
B.
Try to figure out a way to fix his friend
C.
Try to listen to what his friend needs.
D.
Try to comprehend what his friend went through.
When giving support to someone or endorsing a cause, it is not at all productive to try and fix a problem having to do with the person or movement you are supporting.
In the case of helping a friend, listening to their needs is always a good idea. Gaining a deeper understanding of their feelings and attempting to comprehend what they have been through are all ways to show support and also be of emotional help.
