I think you need to realized that it is normal for people to feel sad or depressed at times. They just have to go through and work it out on there own. All you can do as a friend is to let them know you are there for them if they want to talk. Often by trying to make them happy an trying to cheer them up it can be taken as a sign that you are negating their problems and telling them it is nothing when to them it is something big. It may not be what you are trying to do but when people are focused on something that is how it can be taken.

Other people around us are actually pretty influential :/ .. Anyone can be, even if they are just being themselves.. Like when my older cousin starts complaining.. Somehow it starts wearing off on me and I start complaining too! :S lol. If someone is sad, mad, happy.. It just affects u in certain ways. I guess that's just how life is. I think no matter what we need to try our best to be our own selves. And not let others dictate how we feel and look :)
