Remind others that you’re emotionally available to them. Remind your friends and family members that you’re there for them, even if you can’t do anything to physically change their problem or situation. When comforting someone, remind them that they have control over the decisions that they make, and that you’ll support them no matter what. For example, say something like: “ I know you’re going through a tough time right now, and I just wanted you to know that I’m here for you if you need anything.” Make sure that the person feels loved and validated, and that they know they can call on you if necessary. Try to empathize with others when providing emotional support. A lot of the time, you can change someone’s life for the better just by reminding them that they’re not alone. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/d\/d0\/Change-Peoples%27-Lives-for-the-Better-Step-2-Version-3.jpg\/v4-460px-Change-Peoples%27-Lives-for-the-Better-Step-2-Version-3.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/d\/d0\/Change-Peoples%27-Lives-for-the-Better-Step-2-Version-3.jpg\/aid1667800-v4-728px-Change-Peoples%27-Lives-for-the-Better-Step-2-Version-3.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>\u00a9 2021 wikiHow, Inc.
