you hit the nail on the head; you don't have to "befriend" all your co-workers, just find solutions together for the work related issues. During downtime, if you do happen to cross a like minded individual, do be more friendly, you never know if this person will in fact become a "bestie". I got plenty of friends, who left for other jobs, where years down the line, we still see and spend time with on a regular bases. so following this guy's advice on "don't be a friends with your co-workers" is just horrible.
