tips on how to validate someone's feelings

don’t - tell them their feelings are wrong (“you know that’s not true” “you don’t actually think that” “you’re wrong, bc etc etc etc”) - call them irrational/say they’re overreacting - talk over them/interrupt them if you don’t agree with what they’re saying - put the blame on yourself (of course, if this is something you can control!) - minimize their problems (“it’s not a big deal”)

do - listen - acknowledge what they say without trying to convince them they’re wrong for feeling what they feel (“i’m so sorry you’re going through that” “i can see how that would be hurtful to you”) - tell them it’s okay to feel how they feel (“you’re allowed to feel like that” “it’s perfectly fine to feel like that”) - encourage them to talk more, so they know you care about what they have to say - ask questions that will help you understand why they’re upset (unless you know questioning causes the person stress) - finally, simply saying “your feelings are valid” can help

obviously this will be different for every person, but i hope this helps to lead people in the right direction!
