Push and pull
My job as a friend is to know when to push and pull. When one of my friends is down my first job is to pull her or him back by being supportive, listen and just be there when necessary.
This can be repeated many times. But my job as a friend is also to push when I think I heard enough of the same problem. Then my task is to push friend forward so that she or he can move on. Suggest solutions to the problem, give my opinion, get the person to view the problem from another angle. This is equally important as pulling.
How do you know when to do what? Gut feeling I suppose. It is ever so difficult.
Human relationships is something you will never learn to 100%, which is why it's so interesting! And it make us keep on trying...and trying...and trying :)
