"Lifehacking" your friends for individual gain is going to leave you with no friends at all.
There's also a paradox to it; why would anyone who's supposedly "better" than you, have you as a friend?
- ams6110 14y agoI don't think he said or meant that you should try to have friends who are "better" than you but rather those that will help you get to the next level you want to get to. In other words, people who are supportive and have abilities and interests that complement your own. I certainly know people who are toxically negative, gripe about everything and complain about perceived injustices, and when I spend time with them I become less motivated. And the converse is true, thinking of one person in particular who I would not consider a friend (in that we don't hang out socially) but who is so positive and energetic about everything that it's hard not to ride that wave when you spend time with him.
