but different type of people expect/want/need different type of comfort.
You can't really comfort someone without understanding them and/or their situation. If you ain't the type to switch up that can go a long way. Be supportive, and mean what you say.
I mean shii I'd probably want a hug or them to just be there. Try giving them a hug, or call them up. Be there for them the rest will fall in line : )
How Do We Comfort Someone? 1. “ Witness their feelings” ... Affirm that their feelings make sense. ... Draw out their feelings inorder to better understand what they feel. ... Don't minimize their pain or focus only on cheering them up. ... Offer physical affection if appropriate. ... Affirm your support and commitment.
