pizza? flowers? a card?

Also, what’s the phrase in english for support and encouragement to keep going when someone is going through a difficult time? In chinese say “加油” (literally: add oil ie. add fuel to keep going) or in french we say “courage”, don’t know what the phrase is in english.

    Just to spend time with me and listen to me. That’s all. Trust me I’ve been in that situation and pretty alone

    I would appreciate it if a friend spent time with me or took me out for food and drinks. You could also get their favorite snack or a gift card to their favorite coffee shop or store.

    I don’t know if we have a single word for that in English, I might say “keep your chin up” but that often comes across as demeaning. Maybe “you’ve got this,” “you’ll get through this” or “God doesn’t put more on you than you can handle” if they’re religious.

    As far as what I want, probably someone to plot with me on how to egg the car of that bastard that fired me. Barring that, pizza/wings/general hang out.
