I am interested to know.

Would you comfort them or would you feel awkward?

I would comfort them, i would be nice to them and i would offer whatever advice i had, and try to cheer them up.

But i do know some people are awkward about other people crying, id only be awkward if people were being violent (and by awkward i mean frightened out of my wits)

so what would you do, if someone you knew (or maybe even someone you didnt know) was crying? Over to you.
