2. What you shouldn’t say to your friends

This one might not be particular, but many experts believe that you shouldn’t give your friends direct advice if you don’t know the exact situation. For instance, if they have a toxic workplace and they’re not as happy as they used to be, instead of telling them “You should quit your job!”, it’s best to listen to all their reasons why they still work there.

After that, you can help them by asking certain questions to make them realize if they’re willing to go further or quit. In other words, you shouldn’t be the one to influence their decision.

If you have no idea what to say and what to do, you can always tell them to talk to a professional who knows exactly how to help them make the right choice.
