A person who finds himself in a difficult life situation is in a depressed state.
He needs support from those around him.
Ideal phrases would be: “I understand you”, “Contact me if you need help”, “It’s not your fault”, etc.
But careless statements from family and friends can lead to the fact that the person in trouble will begin to worry even more.
So, what phrases should you not say if your friend finds himself in a difficult life situation?
"Well, you're in deep, of course..."
Such a statement, despite its apparent harmlessness, can cause serious harm.
The person who hears this phrase will become even more upset and may perceive the remark as mockery.
"I warned you!"
A person in trouble does not need criticism, but help.
Most likely, he himself understands that he was wrong to ignore the recommendations of his relatives and friends.
Extra reminders of this will only anger the person.
“But I wouldn’t do that if I were you…”
The mistake has already been made. There is no point in telling the upset person what you would have done if you were in his place.
It turns out that you are asserting yourself over your interlocutor and criticizing him, although you could have provided moral support.
