Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When support is activated, the focus should be on addressing the emotions or problem that prompted the request for help. Using supportive messages that acknowledge and validate your friend's feelings can create a safe and supportive space for them to express their needs and work towards resolutions. Option A may be counterproductive, as it may trigger defensiveness or minimize your friend's feelings. Options B and C are less important than focusing on the emotional support.
