4. Supportiveness

Build a strong support network of friends, family, and peers who can provide encouragement, guidance, and emotional support during tough times.

In life, it is just natural to encounter problems and this is where the anchor goes in. This mentor serves as a support especially during challenging times.

Being a good listener is not about getting the facts about what made them upset. It is to be supportive, offer encouragement, and empathize.
Ask open-ended questions to communicate that you're interested in them. Avoid questions beginning with 'Why' and use 'What' or 'How' instead....
