My friend recently had a mental breakdown and he claimed I brought him back, convinced him he needed help because I just sat down with him and let him explain the whole thing.

Can't say I'm an expert, but I was very focused on accepting and staying on their level while giving pushback on certain things, keeping it humorous, then they showed me the same courtesy. I was like 50/50 "yeah I guess that makes sense" and "I can prove that one's not true". Obviously I know I'm 100% right but if I present myself that way I'll get shut out for not understanding them.

I think by genuinely trying to understand they might relate to and understand your confusion, feeling some of the confusion that they themselves are missing vicariously, which can lead them to some realization that something's not right.
