This may sound strange, but how do you make someone happy?

Everyone is different, but I would say... just be there for them. Listen to their problems, do your best to help, and even when you can't do anything to help, make sure they know you'll always support them. Just knowing that can go a long way.

Would the same apply when I hurt them even though it was unintentional?

[put_a_ring_on_it]

The best thing in that case is a sincere apology. But it may take some time before they're willing to hear it, depending on how deeply you hurt them.

[lostinshadows]

What would you do if you were in their shoes?

[put_a_ring_on_it]

If I were the one who was hurt, and receiving the apology, you mean?

[lostinshadows]

Yes.

[put_a_ring_on_it]

It's hard to say without knowing what happened, but if it were someone I were truly close with... I'd want to believe in them and forgive them.

[lostinshadows]

What if it's something that they betrayed you, even if it was unintentional?

[put_a_ring_on_it]

If it was unintentional, that's even more reason to give them the benefit of the doubt.

[lostinshadows]

Alright. Thank you for your insight.

[put_a_ring_on_it]

I hope everything turns out well for you and your friend.

[lostinshadows]

Thank you.
