My friend, Ryan, was really stressed and irritated when he walked up to me during lunch for half an hour, making my hours even again. While he was talking/venting, I took the liberty of giving him a shoulder and back massage. He was getting really heated, but once I started massaging him, he stopped talking mid sentence. As I continued, he paused, then continued talking, but in a calmer voice. When the bell rang, he thanked me and said that hilot on top of talking it out made him feel better.
I know it may seem little, but I was really proud of myself that I was able to calm him down from his initial anger. It made me realize that physical touch can really help someone who's under any stress or discomfort. It's one thing to help someone feel better through a scheduled massage, but helping a friend out is really gratifying.
