David's Agony Uncle Page.

[davywavy]

Having had some troubles of my own recently, I realise that a great way to feel better is to mock the afflicted help those less fortunate than myself. So it is that I offer up, free and gratis, my training as a psychologist plus years of inflicting observing the worst that life can offer to you lot as an Agony Uncle.

I'll understand if you want to post your little problems anonymously, and I'll give help and advice in that inimicable, caring manner for which I am famed.

So tell me your woes, little ones, and I shall laugh do my best to offer constructive advice.

dear uncle davy,

my best friend's dog got hit by a car (no, seriously, last night) and she's really sad. I don't even like dogs and I don't know how to console her. the dog's probably going to have surgery this afternoon. she's incredibly upset.

Help?

Go round to your friends house/flat/whatever this evening. Even if you don't like dogs, often what people who are unhappy really need is simply a hand held out to them in a caring manner. You will help more by just being a friend (possibly a friend with wine, chocolate, and a DVD) than anything else.
Tell her you don't really know what to say, so you thought that you'd just be there.
Then wile away the rest of the evening by having a few drinks, telling her anecdotes about amusing things which have happened to the two of you, and occasionally doing any tear-wiping which may be necessary.
If yo're close friends, hug her from time to time.
