This is rather simple. If you are an empath you are already naturally aware of what the correct things to say are. It just comes naturally. Most people are not empaths. If you are a deliberate narcissist, like a sociopath, you are probably an asshole. It does not really matter because you won't care anyways. If you are supremely deficient in conscientiousness you have no desire to be a narcissist, but its just who you are. Whatever you say is going to be a gamble but that won't stop you from saying it anyways. So, again, for these people it really doesn't matter. For everybody else: If you don't know what to say then just keep your mouth shut. For some people this can be extremely hard, and they will fail, but at least they know what to do to fix this. Just keep your mouth shut. It is that simple. There are no tricks. Once you realize how to keep your mouth shut you will naturally get better at listening and knowing the correct things to say will eventually come more naturally, so just shut your mouth.
