What do i say to THAT?!


Question Posted Monday April 2 2007, 1:21 pm

my best guy friend is really open when talking about his feelings. he always wants to know what's going on in my life and isn't afraid to tell me what's on his mind. but recently, his grandfather passed away. his entire attitude changed in that he got really quiet and he wouldn't open up to anyone. i tried to comfort him but he just insists on figuring everything out on his own. he also is in a lot of gt/ap classes and has a lot of homework stress. all of this suppressed anger with his grandpa and his homework has been taken out on me and i don't know what to say to him. it seems like every time i try to talk to him i just get shunned away.

in previous situations when hes upset, i just leave him alone and he eventually cools off. i just feel like he won't cool off as fast with this situation. what do i say to him or what can i do for him to make him feel better?

Just tell him you're always gonna be there for him if he needs you. Don't try to get anything out of him if he doesn't wanna talk. Just leave him alone, and let him calm down. And you're right, he won't cool off so fast with this. His grandfather just died, so closure & healing can take a long time. Just give him time for himself, but just let them know that you'll be there if he needs you.

Hello.
All you can really do is be there for him if he needs you. I know it might be hard seeing a good friend of yours like that. But, in all honesty you cannot do anything...he needs to make himself feel better in this situation. He needs to get closure. Just tell him, "If you ever need me, you know you can talk to me" and just leave it at that because you dont want to make him more upset.

Good luck
