We often stay quiet because we're afraid of saying the wrong thing, or of making it worse. But reaching out almost never makes things worse. More often, it's the thing that reminds someone they're not as alone as they feel.
You don't have to fix anything. You don't have to have answers. You just have to open the door and let them know it's safe to walk through it.
A few ways to start:
""You've seemed a little off lately. How are you really doing?""
""You don't have to face what you're going through alone. I'm here to listen.""
""I want you to know that you can talk to me about anything. Is there anything that has been weighing you down?""
Then do the part that matters most: listen. Without rushing, without fixing, without judgment.
