it means being their friend, dummy you didn't make friends with gods or people who are magical you made friends with normal, every day people and unless anyone's radically different from how they were when you met them, how you approach the situation doesn't have to change all that much
don't think about why they're upset or angry or confused just think about the fact that they are and do what you'd normally do to help with that
if you can't help with their specific problems, you can at least do that much and it's better than sitting on your hands in frustration, right?
