    Have you ever watched a sad person “cheer up”,simply because someone instructed him to?

    Have you ever seen a really nervous person “relax” because another(nervous) person told him to?

    I NEVER DID,and I’ve been around awhile.

    Can we provide better responses?

    Sad person: Yes. Clinically depressed person: Never. Sad people can be cheered by your verbal reaching out to them. We are social animals, and love interaction and connection with others of our species.

    Anxious people do respond to people who connect with them verbally.

    I wouldn’t ignore either person,but I would try to be a bit more “proactive” than just “commanding” them.

    ask him the following: if you were a flag, would you wave?

    i’d tell them to listen to Rabbi Kelerman’s ‘We are never alone’. It’s hilarious. That should cheer anyone up.

    It depends on who it’s coming from, how it’s said, and why the person is sad/upset. No easy fix-all way to answer.

    I think it should be changed to “Cheer Up” and “Bump”
