How To Cheer Up A Person Suffering From Dejection
July 23, 2008
As our world and our lives get more complex, it is hard to be cheerful or happy about what is happening out there. It is only natural that things get on top of us and one feels dejected or depressed about not getting a much wanted job, or rejected by someone you had your heart set on. When that happens to some friend or someone close to you, you would be wise to pep up the mood of your dejected friend. But, not everyone knows how to cheer up a dejected person.
Almost an art form, the following tips on picking up the sagging spirits of a person, lightening his / her mood will show you that for those with the knack, it can be quite easy to spread cheer and happiness around.
Engage the concerned person in some light-hearted, scintillating conversation.
Don’t ask what is wrong, but wait for them to bring it up. If, it is someone close i.e. a friend or family member, they will come up voluntarily with what is bothering them and ask for your help if need be.
If, the person concerned confides his / her problem, then empathise with them, ask more and get to the root of what is causing the problem. Check it from all angles and try to come up with a solution to the problem.
Everyone likes a little sympathy, however, too much of it and it may overwhelm the person. The person may feel more dejected and a solution to the problem will only be delayed.
Try and convince the person that these problems are universal and the only way to avert them is to face them bravely and find a solution to them.
Tempt the person into coming out for an outing, for shopping, a walk, dinner, movie or for a cup of coffee at a café.
Surprise him / her with a small gift.
Don’t let them brood over small trivialities, instead tease them, pull their leg till they forget to feel dejected or depressed.
Ease the tension by making jokes about yourself, be humorous and tell them how you deal with dejection and depression when faced with it.
Anyone can help someone beat the blues; all it requires is empathy, humour and helpful advice!
