One person whom I consider wise said "Friends are people who support your limitations" if that helps

That's a very cynical perspective that seems to encourage self isolation and an emotionally barren life. Not sure if that's wise.

I think the OP meant that friend support you in overcoming your limitations. They support you where you are weak, not they perpetuate and grow your weaknesses.

or they accept your weaknesses and support you despite them.

I hope so, the way it's worded implies the opposite.

This is how I chose to interpret it as well.

If you can't handle me at my worst you don't deserve me at my best is a cliche way of saying the opposite.

Empirically speaking, I learned from a wise old friend that a party requires 4 things : Food, music, drugs and games.

And people at parties are similar to friends.

For what that's worth.

I would say rather that it requires any two of those. You’ll get very different types of parties depending on which two you pick.

I think you can solely sustain a relationship with trust, lack of common interests can freeze it but does not necessarily extinguish it.
