You probably have a sixth sense at this point and can feel when your bestie is having a bad day. That and they’ve most likely put out three Instagram stories and a Facebook post about having a bad day. You know you want to help but you’re at a loss for words. No worries! Wicker and Wilde found some expert-approved messages to shoot them to break them out of a slump.
“*Ahem* Presenting, the top 10 things I appreciate about you:” This combines two things everyone loves. Lists and compliments. It’s going to be a great distraction from their crappy day and will remind them that they’re loved in at least 10 different ways.
“You’ve been there for me when I’m down, so please let me know if I can return the favor in any way. Love you!” According to psychologist Dr. Tari Mack, this text is a subtle way to remind the person how caring and amazing they are and how much their friendship means to you. And it’s usually better to ask someone how you can help rather than freestyling it.
*Send a funny photo* Memes are the best medicine. If you can make them laugh, it could stop them from crying. If you can’t find the perfect one, send them an adorable pic of your pet or a funny picture of the last time you were together. The most important part is sending something to let them know they’re in your thoughts!
“Remember that time we got lost on our way to the roller rink? I’m cracking up thinking about it.” Nostalgia is always a great distraction. Tell your down-in-the-dumps friend that you can’t stop thinking about a light-hearted moment you shared together. Nothing like an inside joke to remind them they’ve got a bestie to lean on!
