If Someone's Miserable Do You

Ok I try to cheer them up but not with a joke or anything just by being there for them
I am not normally miserable but when my Pains set in I will not smile all the time and I hate it when People say don't look so miserable, what do they know
There is a time where you won't smile because you really do not want to is that not allowed
So ignore those People Sweetie they are just self centered thats all

I am an optimist...but I donot tell people to cheer up... don't feel that I have a right to tell them how to look...that is their business...BUT I am a great listener...so that is what I usually end up doing....letting them vent.....

Be miserable if that is how you feel, my dearest Wolfie....I still luv ya....xoxoxoxo

I say that to the people I love pal and then they usually tell me whats wrong and I try if I can to help them fix it, If it is someone I know but not too well, I ask if they are OK and if they say yes then I leave well alone, I am just one of those people who don't like to see my friends sad, but if you were here pal in Stirling I am sure you would have a happy smile on your face, especially if more were home and we has a battenburg cake xxxxx

Hi wolfie, I pick B, I would try to cheer them up, give them a hug, ask if I can help in any way. I don't like seeing anyone downhearted... Even people who are in another country, on the other side of a computer screen. You get attached and don't want to see them hurt.
I have a rather somber expression on my face, I have had people think some thing's wrong, when in fact I'm just thinking. I am not a "smiley" person, when you get a smile from me, it's genuine, I have a hard time "fake" smiling, so why do it?
I smile a lot here on mylot though, even though you can't see me:)

I try to get them to talk to me, and maybe I can help. If they are miserable I want to try and make them feel better. I will give them a hug before I leave them. I have a friend who is down and out sometimes and when I do talk to her I try to help her to feel better about herself and her situation.

No I don't avoid miserable people...Instead what i do is let them know and feel I'm here for them..I don't bug them hough to open up..I just make friendly gestures like I smile at them...say hi..or ask if they're ok..I just want them to know there are people they can talk to..no matter what.Avoiding them would just make them more miserable and I don't think that's nice.

I try to make them happier/better.

Unless it won't help, usually I'm the sort of person who's wacky hardly any of my friends can be down but there have been times I should of left people alone.

If I see that a friend or family member looks miserable I try to lighten up things for him or her. I do not avoid them but I will be there to try to keep company and deviate his attention from whatever it is that is bothering him.

I don't have a very smiley face and sometimes at work people have reminded me to smile when I pass them. It is usually when I was not feeling particularly down so just perked up for them. If I had been feeling sad I would probably have burst into tears. It is actually better to be noticed at all and that they care enough to say something. I tend to stick with the same people and we get along well. If one of us is feeling sad they need a while to themselves then we carry on as usual.

I try to talk to them if they don't want to talk then I understand and will leave them alone and when they are ready to talk I'll be there to help any way I can.
