5. What would you do if a friend was having an emotional crisis? I'd offer my best advice and try to talk her into a better frame of mind. Then I'd call another friend to come over and stay with her so I could get out of there and shake off all that negative energy. I'd set aside everything else I had going on and stay with my friend and support her until she felt better.

I try to keep all my friendships on the lighter side. I'd stay with her as long as I could to make sure she was feeling better, but I'd be anxious to get back to my own life as soon as possible. Back
