It depends on the problem, if it's a minor one then it's ok. But if it's a big problem concerning the job or family or relationship then as a friend should discuss the problem with you and then suggest some solution because he/she already knows your situation in life. So he/she can make a few suggestions. The quote "don't worry, be happy" it's fine to hear and very optimistic but when you face a difficult situation then you'd like to hear something else from your friend. A person who isn't inside the problem, maybe can see clearer and can say somehting meaningful to you. So I would expect from a close friend a more serious confrontation of the specific problem.
We live today in a time of complex problems, and we feel that the time defeat us, the gap between us and the time became too large, so we need a friend to comfort each other, and assist each other in order to solve our problems
i have to find a solution
No, I dont agree . i have to know befor he resolve this problem, i think he doesnt want for me to discuss him
no one will agree on this as a friend in need is a friend indeed , its a very casual response where the other friend really dont care much about the person who is having a problem or the person who is having the problem is having the problem very frequently and the friend know that there is no solution to it , so its better to ask him or her to let it go ....
It is nice to have a friend who tries to comfort you with soothing words such as "take it easy." However, minimization -i.e. belittling a problem- is a cognitive distortion, and so is exaggeration. A problem should be put in its right perspective. This does not mean that you shouldn't rationalize your emotions concerning the problem and try to alleviate the stress associated with solving it. Having self-control, proper self-mangement, and the right approach and method to solving the problem is what counts most. A truly caring friend would do more than just the lip service of "take it easy", and would do his best to hep you solve your problem.
If he is my friend..... yes I agree with this, because I trust on him.
He's right, because I should be relax to get my mind oppurtunity to think well and find a solution and not any solution.
It's needed a good solution in order to solve perfect. Let's be honest, if it's needed to be relax doesn't mean the one let the problem becomes bigger or laugh without caring .... no no
the purpose from taking it easy is to to be in a good mood provides you to think well.
So I agree with him 100 %
I will take it easy only if I understand that my friend didn't make that small problem intentionally.
No I don't agree. If she is really my friend , she will try to find a solution for my problem and help me insteed of telling me to forget it. finally i will forget her actually!
it depends on the kind of problem i am having, i might try to calm down and find a solution for it or i might burst out on hearing the same thing rather a solution for my problem.
