Speak as openly and honestly as you can. This will let him know that you're paying attention to the other person in his life. Avoid giving short, curt answers with no pauses, pausing every now and then to ask questions, or your friends will get annoyed and forget what you were saying. [substeps] Pay attention to what he says and try to make a comment that is relevant to the conversation. Try to listen to him through active listening. Sit quietly, use your facial expressions to show that you're engaged with what he's saying. Give your full attention when he's talking and don't get distracted by the television, your phone, or other things. [substeps] Nod occasionally and appear engaged by leaning in and keeping an open posture.
