Ways I Can Be a Better Friend

One word and one word alone. Listen. Don’t give your opinion, listen while he or she vents. Sometimes it’s the best thing you can do. It’s hard to do this, but do it anyhow. They will thank you later.

I find asking, "are you looking for comfort or solutions?" helps. Or just read the room/your friend.

Also, even if your opinion is welcome, I find a lot of people project based on their own feelings and experiences, which might not be applicable to that person.

Which brings up another way to be a better friend - meet people where they are, if you want to be friends with them. They might do things you never would, but it's their lives, not yours.
