My guy friend


Question Posted Saturday July 31 2004, 3:15 pm

Okay, I have this friend, and we are very close. He is a guy, and he goes to my school and we hang out all the time. He is really fun to be around and he is always making me laugh, but the problem is, he seems depressed. Every once-in-a-while he'll mention how he's sad about not having a girlfriend and about how hes sad because he thinks he's ugly. He's really not half bad looking, he just doesn't seem to realize it and for some reason he thinks having a girlfriend is the most important thing. How can I help him? What do I say to make him feel better? How do I help him to realize having a girlfriend isnt important. I've discussed this multiple times with him but I dont seem to be helping or saying the right things. Please help me out. Thank you.

Hmm well i know how ur friend feels hes probably like me and doesnt want to accept the great advice that he gets. but im working on it and he should to. girlfriends arent the most important thing in life but maybe he feels that way because everyone around him may have someone and he feels left out. or he wants a girlfriend to have someone to carea bout. but to help him just tell him to give it time and that theres always someone out there for someone at first he wont accept it and tell u something but just keep telling him that because secretly he is listening to u. but just tell him that him being sad makes u sad if it really does and that u and alot of people care about him hell start to understand that friends are prolly the best thing he will have in his life. dont give up on him if he really his a close friend do wut u can for him or try to set him up with other good hearted people if u can. but just keep giving him advice he really is listening no matter wut he says.
