Too often, we assume we know what someone needs—advice, solutions, or maybe just space. But instead of guessing, try asking, “How can I support you right now?”
This simple question shifts the focus from fixing to understanding. It allows the other person to define what feels helpful in the moment—whether that’s a listening ear, a hug, or brainstorming next steps together. When we ask instead of assume, we build stronger, more connected relationships—because real support starts with knowing what’s actually needed.
