For the most part, people just want to be heard. Be as present as possible when someone is talking to you, especially when it's about something that's been clawing at them, something that they need to get off their chest, something that takes effort to say.

Everyone has their vices. Don't feel too guilty about them if they're all that help you get through the day, just be sure to stay safe.
Sometimes, all you can do for someone is be alone with them - words and actions aren't always necessary.

Don't underestimate the power of compassion.
Make sure the people you love know that you love them; it's better to be overly affectionate than overly reserved.
