During lunchtime you notice that your colleague seems upset. She is sitting alone, staring at her phone, and appears to be on the verge of tears. What is an empathetic response?
“I can see you’re upset. Would you like to talk about what’s bothering you?”
“It’s okay to feel emotional sometimes. Let’s talk when you’re ready.”
“You seem to be going through something. I’m here if you want to share.”
“Let’s ignore this for now, you will be fine soon.”
