Fragile egos make for fragile friendships. - @TheStoicEmperor

In modern life, relying on external validation to boost our ego can lead to fragile friendships. True friends value authenticity and honesty rather than flattery or superficial praise. Just like a fragile vase easily shattered, a friendship built on fragile egos can crumble at the slightest test.

A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

The Bible verse highlights the value of having a loyal and genuine friend over numerous shallow companions. This aligns with the lesson that true friendships require authenticity and honesty rather than seeking validation from many temporary acquaintances.
