Demon1_The_GOAT [#4]Tell him to grow the fuck up and life goes on. Drink water, receive some sunlight, and sleep it off.

Maybe your friend just wants someone to listen. Tell him that it's hard for you to empathize since you haven't experienced those things yet, but you'll still be there to listen. Maybe you can cheer him up by treating him ice cream or something
Sometimes, the person doesn't need a solution from you but instead the person really just wants to let it out.

A good and sensible idea. My one warning with that is to not let that friend become -too- attached to you. I've had many people in my life that took my kindness and willingness to listen as an indication to become their personal therapist on every part of their life, which I'm obviously not qualified to do.
But if it's temporary/just venting, or if it's not insanely serious, then this is easily the best approach. Just having someone to listen to helps out a lot sometimes.

100% agree.
OP, if it gets too much, tell your friend to seek professional help. Say something like, "I'm starting to get really worried about you and I don't know how I can help anymore. I think you should start talking to a therapist since I feel like that'll benefit you more."
And as someone who has been to therapy, it's honestly pretty good lol.
