Do you share a good news about yourself with someone who is depressed ?

I was with my friend who has been asked to leave from his position as a manager in a well known company. The same day I received a promotion at work. As we met for a coffee that same evening, I made it a point to be a good listener and did not share with him the news about my promotion. A few days later when he got a better job than the earlier one, I just texted him and shared about my promotion while congratulating him on getting his new job.

Although, I had the choice that day of casually talking to him about my new position at work, but then, what would that do to him? Would it make him really feel good or would that make him feel even worse than before?

If communication is a skill then, knowing when to talk about and when not to talk is wisdom.
