A comment I made caused someone else to feel bad about themselves. How can I help them feel better? What can I say?
One of my Facebook friends posted a question what have you done that you're reasonably sure none of her friends had done and I answered with a few examples and someone commented with a crying face and said I had many and she couldn't even think of one and then said she was a loser how do I help her feel better? What do I say?

Whatever you say ... do it with chocolates and flowers.

Linda Joy (Smiling) It sounds like you're speaking from experience. And as usual good advice except I don't know her. The best I could do is virtual and I'm not sure that would translate well.

Some take too many online discussions too seriously. Maybe you can try some kind of soothing type of encouraging posts to her??

The trouble with social media friendships with people you don't know personally is that it's often hard to convey something without it being taken the wrong way. When engaged in a face-to-face dialogue you can see the other person's face and read the body language pretty well. Online, you can't always say the right thing to everyone - sometimes a shin is going to get kicked. Don't beat yourself up over it - they'll pull through. Just drop the matter and let it float off into the land of the forgotten. You'll be swapping spit again in no time.
