So, here are some tips which will help you to be that listener.

7. Make a comfortable environment: If someone is not comfortable around you, it won't make your conversation any easy. Find a comfortable environment for talk. Be a little free. Don't make them feel like you're doing some favor to them. It'll just create a self-pity bubble inside them.

When someone starts crying in front of you, it doesn't make them weak. If someone start's to cry, just hug them, and let them know that everything will be alright.
9. Uplift the spirit: Encourage them for positive things and self-love. At tough times make sure that someone won't feel worthless. Tell them the positive side of the story, don't accuse or blame them for their past. Make sure they are enough, always.
