I sort of blank out, and stay silent because I have no idea what to say... Im always afraid that im gonna say something ridiculous or awkward.. Im trying to be a good friend who helps people feel better when they're down, but what do I say? Reply to this Question

 hi
be honest and tell him you are definitely there for him but don't know what to say to make him feel better, that will let him know WHY you are not very talkative about his problem. he is probably just glad to have someone to listen to him though

if he's going through a hard time, having someone to listen to is always the best way to deal with it. if he's that good a friend he will know about your lack of good words to say. just buy him his favourite chocolate and dvd, watch it with him, and give him a big warm bear hug

 just being there for him for comfort and support in his time of need speaks volumes. Your listening to him, being his support, and a shoulder to cry on by far supersedes words, and im sure when he feels better he will never forget what a good friend you were.
Good luck

 Just be honest with him, if he tells you something just be honest and say that you dont no what to say to him as you have never been in his situation but that you can understand and that you are there for him to listen to him.
Goodluck.
