Hey,
Um I don't know what you mean about a quote but, I'll try and answer the question anyway.
I don't know how you become a good advice giver, I think I just listen to what people have to say and then comment on my own life as you can see from this question lmao. Um as far as cheering people up I just take my own experiences and tell them that I got over it, and it turned out to be better than I ever thought it would, and sometimes god does things for a reason. Tell them that tomorrow is a new day and that one day they'l look back at this and laugh. Point out the good things in their life the sun is shining and you dont need a bf because you are so strong and you could handle it anyway. Compliment them like crazy. That usually helps.
You came to the right site for this, you can read other peoples advice and see how they respond to people questions. And you can practice giving advice to people and that way you can get even better.
You arent useless, and you wanna know how i can tell? Because people keep coming to you for advice, if they came to you once and then never came back then you'd know something is wrong, but even if that is the case, you care enough abou tthem to wish you could do better so even if you arent the best at advice, you are still a really sweet person who cares about their friend.
I think that you are a great advice person, you just have made a mistake or two and if you keep trying you'll get better. I've grown since I came to this site, and I'm sure you will too. Good luck, and who knows maybe one day you'll end up answering my question. hope I helped,
Love ya,
Angie91

that your listening is enough!!! just give them a hug and tell them that you care about them. tell them that your going to fix everything. listen, and show concern. that you are listening is enough. i think that its so sweet that you want to help your friends! they just need a sholder to cry on, and sombody to care about them. xo
