This is true but who are your friends. Because friends help each other; whereas, compainions use each other. It is said, a man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

thats right...just wanna quote that up.."There exist companions disposed to break one another to pieces, but there exists a friend sticking closer than a brother."- says in Proverbs 18:24
Good Friends, Long Life!
Having a network of good friends may well increase a person’s life span, reports the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. A study of nearly 1,500 Australians aged 70 or over examined how relationships affected longevity over a ten-year period. Individuals with a strong network of friends had a mortality rate 22 percent lower than those with few friends. Active friendships also have a positive effect among the elderly when it comes to “depression, self efficacy, self esteem, coping and morale, or a sense of personal control,” says the report.
