Giving advice
We said that you need to be there for your friend and listen to them when they need to get something off their chest. But we never said that you need to give them great advice all the time, sometimes they just need someone to listen. So do not feel bad if you have nothing to say.
Just sit and wait for them to get it all out and if you want to give some great advice go for it, but if you have nothing, that’s alright too. When you have nothing concrete to add, these phrases in the picture are usually the go-to things to say as filler words.
