How can I handle sensitive conversations better?

It's important to approach sensitive topics with empathy and understanding. What specific situation are you dealing with?

I'm trying to talk to a friend about their mental health.

That's a delicate subject. Start by expressing your concern and letting them know you're there to listen without judgment.

What if they get defensive?

If they become defensive, remain calm and reassure them that your intention is to support them, not to criticize.

Should I share my own experiences?

Sharing your experiences can help, but ensure it doesn't shift the focus away from their feelings.
