Imagine that a friend is telling you about their problem, but you are tired and have your own worries. How do you react?

  • I will try to concentrate and at least indicate to him that I am listening to him.
  • I admit that I am tired and suggest that we talk later.
  • I am trying to respond, even if just superficially, so that I don't come across as rude.
  • I will ask him for more details to buy some time to concentrate.
  • I will quickly change the topic to something less demanding.
