Coax them initially.
Distract them.
Make em laugh if you can. That helped the most.
Knock some sense into them so they don't go this route again, but comfortingly enough that they know there's someone who cares and will listen if it gets desperate enough.
But don't let them get too dependent either. It's a tricky balance |
Thats what i've been trying to do...and yeah i have noticed it is tricky to not let him get too dependent,because sometimes when i come online,he'll say "oh good youre on! i was bored" or he'll type *bounce* and i'll be like,"what does that mean?" and he'll say "i'm bouncing up and down cuz i'm excited that youre on!" He doesnt have many friends or people that love him so i guess he really looks forward to talking to me.
