New friend

How do I comfort someone? Is that even the thing I should do in this situation? I can listen, and of course I did, but that was because I didn't know what else to do. I guess this is in fair part because I haven't known them long enough to situate myself with the intricasies or how they behave and what makes them feel better and what is too much to handle. i feel anxious that my new friend doesnt want to be my friend. but i also know that i am overthinking and being too hard on myself. because from an objective standpoint and also what i can understand of them perspective i have been supportive and trying to help them when they has a mental breakdown. I dont blame them, i do it to, but i just dont know what to do. i told them that 'its okay' this morning when they where overwhelmed. and they said "no its not. thats the voice that teachers give to kindergarten students its not honest". now... in fairness it is, the voice is soft and initiated by the thought that silence would be worse.…
