Best advice?

Whats the best encouragement,supportive,friendly,self help,motivational help you can give someone who really dislikes life and wants to give up but cant do it, because they dont believe in suicide but they are basically living to die anyway,





what can you say to help someone like that? What can you say so they want to go out there and enjoy life, what can you say to someone who has no friends and finds it hard to meet new people or have a reason to leave the house?





I guess, what can you say to give hope to someone like this?Best advice?
Tell them that whatever it is...hope dies last. Someone really special once told me that and it's stuck ever since. Try figuring out what the person really likes and practice it often, to do something constructive and progressive, maybe for a purpose. Find one if lost one.Best advice?
Here are some words of wisdom from Henry Miller:





';Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we runaway from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise serves to defeat us in the end.


What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.';





I think the point he's making is that you are here - make the best of it! Put in the effort to make your life count. Don't squander the opportunity by feeling sorry for yourself and giving up. Your life is what you make it.
There is no point in hating life or yourself. You are who and what you are, and life is just life. Find the things that meet with your happiness and enjoy them as much as you can.
You can tell that person that you genuinely care and want to do your best to help them lead a better life. Then, even if you are not this person's close friend, you can provide support by giving resources and encouraging him/her to seek counseling. You can even drive them there. I think a good first step is to show your genuine concern and then ask them what you can do to help them take the first step towards improving the situation.
