What’s the best way to cheer up a sad friend?

I usually send funny memes. Sometimes laughter works more than serious talks. When my friend smiles even for one minute, it gives relief.

The best way is listening. Don’t try to fix their problem quickly. Just say: “I’m here for you.” That sentence is powerful. After that, maybe a walk or coffee together can help their mood.

I once cooked food for my sad friend and surprised her with homemade dinner. It was simple but she cried with happiness. Acts of care can cheer more than words.
