Answer:
It is important for me to be empathetic, especially when talking about my friends' relationships because I want them to feel like their feelings are valid and real no matter what the circumstances of why it did not work out. Sometimes, people don't realize how much others can really understand or empathize with what they're going through until they start sharing. Even if they do not have an answer as to why things went wrong, listening without judgment will help them know they aren't alone in feeling lost or hurt. If possible, I would also try to offer some insight into why the breakup occurred so they can begin to think more critically about the situation, which will hopefully help them see things from a different perspective.
